... Lemme check his LJ, see if he posted his set list yet. It was a lot of fun, if a little strange in spots.
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.
Okay, LJ's and Gandalfe's CDs are heading to Seattle this morning.

Dude, I *just* got Hec's and Tina's 2 days ago!
No human heart for YOU....
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.
Big hit both times.
My parents sang that to me when I was a baby, because I seemed to like it and it's easy to sing.
Neil Sedaka lyrics; Guaranteed to Calm a Colicky Infant!
Yeah, but if you get up at karaoke to sing "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do" and you're expecting the original version, it's quite a shock and disappointment to get the remake.
I'm just sayin'.
