Did the Violent Femmes do a kind of bluegrassy cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit", or did I have some kind of auditory hallucination on my way to work this morning?
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's a Lady Gaga/Nirvana mashup, but that's probably not what you heard....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have a similar Violent Femmes version of "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley, so I'm guessing they are part of the same project. And not a hallucination.

Of course, Jesse may be high on NECCO wafers and/or Whoppers, so I wouldn't trust what she says.

I've got the cover of "Crazy"; it just came out as an EP a couple years ago. I don't know if "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a hallucination or not, though.
And now, Indie Pimpage:
Josh Ellis's album "Ghosts in a Burning City" is available here. You can listen to all of the tracks online, and then it's $9.99 to download. If you do want to check it out, right now the title track and "Scatterlings + Refugees" are my favorites.

Random question: Why does my CD of Pink Floyd's The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn have a completely different version of "Astronomy Domine" than my LP? I mean, what's the story behind the two different tracks?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In 1973, the album, along with A Saucerful of Secrets, was released as a double disc set on Capitol/EMI's Harvest Records label, titled A Nice Pair. (On the American version of that compilation, the original four-minute studio version of "Astronomy Dominé" was replaced with the eight-minute live version found on "Ummagumma").

Huh.
Thanks.
eta: Wow, I had totally forgotten than I had bought A Nice Pair instead of Saucer by itself....

Very interesting and eclectic mix. Good listening. Starting with Tim Rose's "Snowed In" to clips of Stephen Fry audiobooks to a discussion of the blandness of American cheese.
