I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Discussion Threads

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.

I really do wish that Ian Curtis' voice didn't make me grit my teeth. I have huge respect for Joy Division and their place in the Great Goth Pantheon. Just don't make me listen to them.

Oh, did I tell you guys that I won the LE pink vinyl pressing of Bela Lugosi's Dead? It should be arriving at my house next week.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think so--or maybe it was on Facebook.

Anyway, you should post a photo of you posing with it.

IT ARRIVED TODAY! Pete just texted me, and he opened the package to make sure it was okay. ("A bloody miracle it was, because that was a shit packing job" quoth the loomy one.)

I kind of want to run home and hug it gently.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

So glad you finally got a copy of that, Jilli!

Paging Dr. Bernhardt, British Indie Rock on Line Four.

I'm currently in Canada where I scored a Pointed Sticks CD reissue in the 3-for-$10 bin!

What was the question again? Oh yeah, Kitchens of Distinction. I have no strong feelings about them either way. I've never played 'em on the radio, for what that's worth.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Things you realize, listening to the radio while not fully awake on a Friday morning:

"Satisfaction" has a cha-cha beat. (drum-drum-tambourine-tambourine-tambourine)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, there are a lot of hidden Latin rhythms in rock.

"Louie, Louie" also has a Latin feel (based on the clave, so a mix of 3 and 2) and so does the Bo Diddley beat.

The real question is, who did the more radical cover of "Satisfaction"?

Devo

or

Cat Power?

They are both very awesome in their own way.

That's true.

Ooh! Dark horse contender!

There's also the live Bjork/PJ Harvey version.

Bonus cover: Cat Power and Karen Elson cover Serge Gainsbourg's "Je t'aime moi non plus".
