'Get It Done'
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.
Getting back to musicians with day jobs, I was walking home last night, and did a double-take. There was a house for sale and the realtor listed was "Aimee Mann"! Not the same one, though: [link]
On the other hand, Bill Janovitz from Buffalo Tom really is a realtor: [link]
I thought that both members of The Kills were in The Dead Weather. I was wrong but it got me thinking, are there any bands that are entirely contained by other bands?
The Creatures. (A side project for Siouxsie and the drummer of Siouxsie and the Banshees.)
Speaking of, their song "Standing There" is an awesome rant against sexual harrassers.
Damon & Naomi were the rhythm section for Galaxie 500 and Magic Hour.
Just because it's Saturday I'm posting two somewhat rare Brian Wilson productions up on Buffistarawk.
Guess I'm Dumb by Glen Campbell. Brian wrote this is as a thank you to Glen when he went out on the road with the Beach Boys after Brian had a breakdown. It's from smack in the middle of Brian's Pet Sounds era and it's a very Pet Sounding song, except its got Glen's lead vocals. Gorgeous song and production.
The One You Can't Have by The Honeys. Seeing as Brian was obsessed with Phil Spector it was inevitable that he'd toy around with girl groups, and he did with the Honeys, which included his wife Marilyn on vocals. Great song, with lots of distinctive Brian-ish touches.
Chilton looks stoned out of his mind.
Paging Sophia: Panic's new video. Ridiculously happy and charming.
I swear, Panic are making videos solely to make me giggle.
Thank you! It is so cute! They are so cute!
