The talk about covers is even funnier in JilliLand, because the DJ at Goth Night last night decided to play an all-covers opening set.
Tell me more. Examples please.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

er ... Mephisto Waltz's cover of White Rabbit. The Shroud covering Alice by Sisters of Mercy. There was an ... odd cover of Tori Amos' Leather by some vaguely shrieky girl, Rasputina's cover of Tourniquet, Placebo's cover of Running Up That Hill (yes, he played it just for me), Siouxsie's version of Passenger, Switchblade Symphony covering Siouxsie's Night Shift ... Lemme check his LJ, see if he posted his set list yet. It was a lot of fun, if a little strange in spots.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Heh. I was just looking in my iTunes for lists of songs with the same titles that AREN'T covers. It ran to a page! It's on the other computer, though.

Hi! Just popping in after a long exhausting bunch of travelling to say I came home and had THREE CDs in my mailbox!!! Which rocks. And also means that I will send them out soon, cause I already had one to send on. And if i hold up four, I"ll definitely feel guilty.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Okay, LJ's and Gandalfe's CDs are heading to Seattle this morning.

Ann, that's a ferret.
After being out yesterday, and no Net for a while this morning --
The ultimate cover may be Neil Sedaka's "Breaking Up Is Hard to Do." He first recorded it in the early '60s (the "comma comma down dooby doo down down" version) -- and again in the mid-'70s as a torch song.
Big hit both times.

And have you heard the torchy Spider-Man theme yet? Because every time I hear her purr "He's so hot/ he's so fine / how I wish /he were mine" I think of you.

My parents sang that to me when I was a baby, because I seemed to like it and it's easy to sing.
