Jenny ,'Bring On The Night'
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.
Speaking of Scott Miller connections, I see Shalini Chatterjee & Mitch Easter have a new CD out: Metal Corner , inspired by 70's acts e.g. AC/DC. For sale now at Parasol & 125.
Heh. Shalini/Mitch/Scott Miller - the great alternapop love triangle.
tina, it's in the mail. Should be there by Friday.
Nigel Tufnel might have been based on Jeff Beck, & a little Fender Rhodes goes a long way, but "Diamond Dust" just popped up on my mp3 player & I gotta say I love Blow by Blow. And I love Truth (Jeff Beck Group featuring Rod Stewart) and his Yardbirds stuff, too, esp. "Mister You're a Better Man Than I" & "Train Kept a-Rollin'".
And "Red Right Ankle"? Solo, acoustic? Almost broke me.
I love that song. So much.
I think Jeff Beck was clearly the best (most talented, most musical, most innovative) guitarist of the Yardbirds triad. I think Clapton and Page would say so as well. I'd rate him over just about any living rock guitarist for talent, though I'll always rather listen to Johnny Thunders or Billy Zoom. I think you can make a case for Tom Verlaine or Richard Thompson (I know Hayden can), but Jeff Beck gets my vote.

yay.
It turns up from time to time, and I think way undervalued. Lord knows I've heard berjillions of Not Lame pop comps that weren't half as tuneful or fun.
I am so excited to hear this. Thanks again, Hec.
I just woke up from the longest afternoon nap in nap history. Being unemployed rocks kinda. (for now).
Hmm - seeing as you both like the Young People CD I think I might get it despite its skronky directionlessness. I just missed them playing in Lawrence night before last damnit.
I just found out my computer won't download iTunes because I have Win 98. I won three songs -- does anyone want the codes?
First person to respond gets 'em in email.
I have Win 98.
Yeah, iTunes only works on 2000 or XP.
i'll take them. Please.
Insent, Tommy.
I'm glad the codes will at least get used.
