"BuffyBot" ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
So I just downloaded the I Feel So Far Away anthology album by Moe Tucker. Damn, her version of "Heroin" is good.
I bought Life In Exile After Abdication when it came out (around 1990?) and really liked it. I've also seen her live once or twice around then.
She's awesome.
(She's most famous for being the drummer of The Velvet Underground, in case you didn't know.)
You know that she’s a Tea Partier now, right?
Fuck. No, I didn't know that.
Actually, that surprises me, considering her song "Spam Again" about working at Kmart for a greedy boss who pays his workers shit and how if the workers tried to organize or ask for benefits they'd get fired.
eta: Now that I think of it, I don't think she actually talks about workers organizing in that song. It was "Don't ask for a raise or benefits" or something like that.
The Military Ranks of the British Music Invasion
The Animals over the Hollies or Zombies?! Bah!
There is a band called The Nouns, right? There has to be.
Sex Pistols Action Figures
Wait...do you get an alternate Glen Matlock figure?
And what about Paul Cook? The guy gets no respect!
(or maybe he didn't agree to the licensing?)
Great fan video for Eno's Kings Lead Hat
Vann Hall spotted this fantastic fan-created video for Brian Eno's "Kings Lead Hat," a 1977 jam whose title is an anagram for Talking Heads. The video maker, Buck Spongehole/Snirgwert, has posted a slew of terrific shorts including another Eno video, "No One Receiving."
"King's Lead Hat" is probably my favorite Eno song.
Video is worksafe. It's rather trippy and some may find some of the imagery disturbing (I didn't).
eta: The video for "No One Receiving" is fun too. Many great clips in the video, a few of which made me laugh.
