'Destiny'
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.
Where did you see/hear the latter?
t edit Nevermind. Wikipedia says this:
"Their biggest selling single and best known song is 1980's "I'm In Love With The Girl On The Manchester Virgin Megastore Checkout Desk" renamed as "I'm In Love With The Girl On A Certain Manchester Megastore Checkout Desk" on request from Radio 1 (a version with "Virgin" bleeped out to allow it to be played on the radio without being considered advertising was also released)"
I see the latter on iTunes, and I just want to make sure it's the same song as the former.
Hmmm.. but then there's this, which definitely has rerecorded lyrics.
versus this one with the original lyrics.

NATTER. Natter.
There's none of you for posting
Natter. Natter. Natter.
Not even one for boasting.

My belief that Patrick Stump should sing everything always is not changed at ALL by him coverinng Jeff Buckley's Everybody Here Wants You. Just, you know, singing like he does and posting it. [link]
Fuck.
Bert Jansch dead of cancer at the age of 67.
I am genuinely cut up about this. I saw Jansch live on a number of occasions: solo twice, with the "fake" Pentangle in the mid-1990s, and (thank goodness) with the reformed Pentangle proper a couple of years ago. A genuinely nice bloke and, of course, a genius guitar player. RIP.
ETA: full Guardian obituary here:
Wow, so young still. Truly one of the giants in British folk and folk rock.
Here's Pentangle doing "Hunting Song" which is absolutely gorgeous and haunting.
Here they do "Light Flight" which shows off their jazzy chops.
John Waters on jazz and heroin:
Even when people took downers… I tried them and thought “God, sitting around itchin’ and scratchin’ ain’t my idea of fun.” You know, it’s good for jazz to take heroin, because jazz is the sound of heroin. You can’t really hear jazz unless you’re on heroin. I have listened to jazz on heroin and it does sound a lot better, but I only took heroin twice and I thought, “This isn’t worth it just to listen to Coltrane.”
