William ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
Which of course led to their famous lyric "but what can a poor boy do?/except analyze the deadweight loss when the supply curve modulates downward following the marginal rate of change in the futures market?"
Which is why I'm convinced that, when Mick decided to devote his life to the Rolling Stones, he made the right decision for rock 'n' roll and the British economy.
Mick Jagger studied at the London School of Economics.
I learned that from a David Bowie song. Something about a strolling gnome. It escapes me now... I think it was on Hunky Dory.
Ha ha ha. Hee hee... hee?
After reading that Replacements thing about all the good albums of 1984, today I have only listened to albums released that year. (Oh, and Tim.)
Wow, that playlist is 346 songs. Now playing: Laurie Anderson's Big Science.
Definitely a good year for music.
For Hec, a collection of power pop christmas songs: [link]
Thanks, Jon! I only have two of those songs.
They really should have done that song with an Angelo Badalamenti-esque arrangement.
ITA, Jon.
