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.
Not a musician, but Vin Diesel is also a huge D&D fan.
And the actor Jeff Daniels created his own fantasy baseball game.
Bowie's always been a geek, though. He was with a traveling Mime troupe for two years, whilst playing super twee folk music with his girlfriend Hermione in a folk group named Feathers and read science fiction and fantasy.
I'm all "Mumford & Sons like carrots!" today.
LeN, I love you for bringing us the A.V Club, because that cover was awesome, as is Lucero covering Bowie's "Modern Love". [link]
I just. BEN.
ZOMG. :: flails:: I love Rick Steff so much, I can't even. And Todd and Roy and John C and no, I dont know why they're missing Brian and I don't care. Diva lead guitarist. I need to find an mp3 of that.
you know, I have a long standing belief that people shouldn't cover Bowie songs, but that came really really close to changing my mind.

I've got a few Bowie covers I like.
Dana Gillespie covering "Andy Warhol." (Possible cheat as Bowie wrote it for her first, he produced it and that's Ronson on guitar. But I prefer it to Bowie's version.)
Despite the 80s production and drums I like Marti Jones version of "Soul Love."
Richard Barone's cover of "The Man Who Sold The Earth" influenced Nirvana's cover on Unplugged.
Lulu covered "Watch That Man" - again, another Bowie production with Ronno on guitar.
How about Bowie covering Springsteen?
I'm...glad you like those.
Doesn't change the belief for me though
What PJ Harvey Taught Me About Sex
Her first three albums, which I first heard as a teen, are an exhaustive chart of what it can mean to be both sexual and a girl.
Interesting--this makes me see those three albums (which I love to death) differently.
eta:
That summer, I listened and danced, over and over, to one woman: Draped in red satin, red lipstick, her black hair floating like a veil, so frighteningly, entirely female that she didn't look real. Her dark-chocolate, boy-girl voice rising out over that one, low, aching bass riff, that riff that I was sure was telling me everything, sideways and in code: "I've lain with the Devil / Cursed God above / Forsaken heaven / To bring you my love."
I thought PJ Harvey knew everything about sex. I wasn't wrong. Her first three albums, especially – the ones I had to work with – are an exhaustive chart of what it can mean to be both sexual and a girl.
Is Cocksucker Blues worth seeing?
Is Cocksucker Blues worth seeing?
I could buy a bootleg of it for you at Amoeba if you like. Bit of a downer as a movie. It's certainly not fun. Though I love the song. (Thank you, Jon B.!)
Fun fact: Deb is sort of in the movie. She's on the other end of the phone call at the beginning, IIRC.
