'Objects In Space'
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.
smonster, thanks for the link! That was fascinating. And long, but definitely worth reading (though I still haven't heard the song, and will probably endeavor to avoid it now).
At least as much for the parts that aren't about Ke$ha as for the parts that are.
Yes! I loved the part about "Single Ladies" in particular.
I love Interpol, but nothing they've put out has been as viscerally wrenching as Joy Division at their best.
David, did you see that Tom Waits is guest-editing the 200th issue of Mojo? [link]
There's been a Waits orgy on WHRB all day today!

Cool beans. Expect something on Alan Lomax's field recordings.
Anyone here read Goodall, "Living in the Rock N Roll Mystery"?
While it's not really the direction I want to read about, it's still the only "real"/"proper" ethnography I heard of that's related to rock music.
(I'd post in Literary, but I thought that if anyone read it, they're probably reading this thread)
Shir, have you heard Lanegan's two albums with Isobel Campbell? I love those.
I heard some of the songs in them, yes, but I mostly cling to his solo work.
So my iPod randomly selected Alice Cooper's "School's Out". How appropriate, because when was in school, the last day would be around now.
Didn't Alice Cooper do this song with the Muppets?
