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.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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 glad you finally got a copy of that, Jilli!

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"?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Devo
or
Cat Power?
They are both very awesome in their own way.

That's true.
The Residents ?
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".

Wait, are you talking about the Devo version on e-z listening disc or their other version. I'm somewhat partial to the e-z listening disc version myself.
The Residents ?
I need to crank that song in my car with all the windows open. It'll frighten the pedestrians anyway.

"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.
"Louie, Louie" feels almost like speeded-up reggae.

Well, it's originally supposed to be a fake calypso song.
Here's the original by Richard Berry.
