So, does Houses of the Holy suck?
No, but Physical Graffiti is the hammer of the gods.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I love "Lost Weekend," "Factory," "They Don't Want Me" and "Mexican Radio" (their big MTV "hit")....
I thought "Far Side Of Crazy" was a bigger hit than "Mexican Radio". Do I have this wrong?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Maybe in Australia, it was. Here, "Mexican Radio" was all over the video music channels.

No, Mexican Radio was a hit here too. Just not as big as Far Side of Crazy. That's the part that surprised me, that apparently it didn't even warrant a mention in Tommy's list.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's from after when Stan Ridgeway left. Probably the only post-Ridgeway song I like of theirs. Or the only one that stuck with me long enough to like it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't think I've ever heard that song.
ION, just downloaded the soundtrack to Kick Ass. I love the version of "This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us." Is this the original version (it's by the Sparks)? I love the Siouxie and the Banshees version.
Also, great cover of the Banana Splits theme song by The Dickies.

Yes, the Sparks version is the original. It was a hit in the UK (are we seeing a theme) but not in the U.S. Siouxsie did a whole album of covers including that.

Maybe I should have grown up in the UK. I could have been a Teddy Boy!

Way cooler than mere rockers, since the Teds affected an Edwardian look.
