The flip side, "I Like 'em Big and Stupid" was also a winner.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

Yeah, that was actually the A-side.
I didn't realize that she's kept so busy as a writer and producer. She did the Jonas Bros. Camp Rock movie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyone like Wall of Voodoo? What albums of theirs are good (besides Call of the West, which is the only one of theirs I have)? ?
I love "Lost Weekend," "Factory," "They Don't Want Me" and "Mexican Radio" (their big MTV "hit")....

Have you heard Stan Ridgway's solo albums, tommy? The early ones are pretty great. The songs are like little short stories with soundtracks.

Nope. I'll have to check them out....

The first album (Dark Continent) and the Wall of Voodoo EP are great. After Ridgway left they weren't very good. He brought a LOT to the band.
I also agree with Hec on his solo albums. The Big Heat, Mosquitoes and Partyball are all good.

iTunes and eMusic don't have those albums, so I'll have to remember to get them next time I order from Amazon or something.
So instead I went to eMusic and grabbed two Led Zeppelin albums I didn't have digital versions of.
So, does Houses of the Holy suck?

No, but Physical Graffiti is the hammer of the gods.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I thought "Far Side Of Crazy" was a bigger hit than "Mexican Radio". Do I have this wrong?

Maybe in Australia, it was. Here, "Mexican Radio" was all over the video music channels.
