Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

Closed Threads

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

So you might look into the world of bootleg trading, but I don't know that Nick did an official release.

Besides live gigs, you might see if there are any boots of unreleased stuff from the KICKING AGAINST THE PRICKS sessions, which was his only covers album.

I know he's thrown covers on as b-sides (In the Ghetto, Black Betty), but that one I've never heard about.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

erinaceous where did you hear this Nick cover, anyway?

I can't even imagine wanting another version over Iggy's. My imagination is bankrupt on the subject.

Have sudden urge to hear Iggy singing "Sweet sixteeen / In Leather boots..."

I just heard *about* the cover, and now I must hear the actual thing.

Supposedly Vince Neil (of Motley Crue, do I even need to make this parenthetical explanation here?) did a cover too, which I really want to hear. As it was supposed to be for the Showgirls soundtrack, and I really need to hear a song so lame it couldn't even be on the Showgirls soundtrack.

I did finally get the Smithereens cover, and it's hysterical because the singer is cueing the band: "now I'm singing that verse again" ...

Silence means security silence means approval

Since I asked the album question... what songs are high on your "best of 2005" list? Do you even do a best-of with songs?

Most played song on my iPod this year: "Black And White Town," Doves

I think Vince used it on the soundtrack of his porno. There's probably some Crue fansite (or maybe even Vince's official site) where you could get a package deal on his and Tommy's videos. Just how much do you want to hear it?

Name the speaker:

  • And then Isaac Hayes introduced me to Jimmy Webb... we were at a songwriters' commemoration one time and Isaac actually brought me on stage and introduced me, I was like, Wow. I was speechless.

  • There's an x-factor in females that spit. I'm actually putting together a group of stellar female MCs... I was inspired by Le Tigre.

Click here for the answer. I knew his favorite Beatles song was "The Long and Winding Road," but I never would have guessed that meeting Jimmy Webb would leave him speechless. "You're quite hostile." "I got a right to be hostile -- someone left my cake out in the rain!"

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

Hec, I love the Bad Livers cover of "Lust for Life"? It's not better than Iggy's, but it's not worse, either - it's its own thing.

Well, I'm not constitutionally opposed to covers. To the contrary, I like a good reworking. It's just the things I like best about that song are so Iggyish.

Not enough to order Crue porn off the internet.

In fact, I'm not sure if I want anything enough to order Crue porn off the internet to get it.

You make Crue porn sound so dirty.
