Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
"Knock Out Eileen" and "Enter Telephone" were both quite popular at the house this morning. Listening to "Jump You Fucker" right now (AIFG)!
I find the ones I like most are the ones where I'm familiar with all the sources. So much of the enjoyment of mashups is that ooooh! moment where you marvel at how well the pieces blend.
"Imagine A Jump" (Van Halen vs. John Lennon) is pretty great, although not exactly Bootie material.
Stuck with an earworm? Here's a surefire method to get that song out of your head: [link]
This is pretty nifty [link]
Oh, wow, "Virgin O'Reily" from the Bootie site is pretty awesome, too.
I love Bootie. Their mashups are brilliant.
I dreamed last night that I was hanging out with MCR. I choose to believe that means I will see them live at least once this coming year.
R.I.P.: Mick Karn and Gerry Rafferty.
Aw, "Baker Street". That was all over the airwaves when I was a kid.
Anyone want to suggest music for a new playlist? I'm starting work on the new book, working title Dark Stars, and I need stuff that's less connected to those words than stuff that's a little on the eerie side, spooky or dark or mournful or full of longing.
How's that for vaguing it up? Examples are, I guess, from the Cold Kiss playlist, which had stuff like The Von Bondies' "Pale Bride" and Shivaree's "Goodnight Moon" and The Devics' "Key" and Smashing Pumpkins' "Stumbleine".
Bright eyes' Devil Town.
I love that song.
