'Sleeper'
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.
3 out of 4. Not bad. (yessss!!!! [pumps fist]).
The Helium song only ever appeared on their first 7" (pre-Matador). The Nirvana was also their first 7" and is a Shocking Blue cover (of "Venus" fame). The Versus is also from an early 7" and also appeared on a singles collection that appeared later.
That Huggy Bear song ROCKS.
And thank you Dr. T.
That Huggy Bear song ROCKS.
As I recall, Jim go to spend some time with Huggy Bear.
Hello peeps! I hope you've all been good while I've been gone.
I have discovered the magical world of mp3 blogs! Whoot!
Yesterday I downloaded Shatner's Rocket Man, the Stanford Marching Band doing "Roundabout" (yes, the Yes Roundabout, it's hilarious), and a bunch of Thin Lizzy songs.
And if y'all don't know the Better Propaganda website, go there now and download Camera Obscura's "Teenager." I'll wait. Look, I'll even give you a link. [link]

I think Nimoy's cover of Proud Mary may actually be worse. It too is more spoken-word than actual singing, and yet Nimoy still feels compelled to pronounce it: "Big wheel keep on toinin', Proud Mary keep on boinin'"
A friend of mine burned me a copy of "Golden Throats" months ago, and I finally got around to listening to it. Shatner's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is just about the funniest and most frightening thing I've ever heard.
Pray tell, what are MP3 blogs?
Mp3 blogs are blogs where people put up links to mp3 for you!
I like music.for-robots.com. No surprise there ... he links to a lot of interesting people, too ...
Now playing: Queen - "The Prophet's Song." Great song, if you like pretentious '70s rock.
I got it on iTunes, along with "I'm In Love With My Car" (featured in that Jaguar commercial).
Queen's A Night at the Opera was the first album I ever bought, when I was about 13. Good times.
Hec, you might enjoy this interview with Amanda Palmer. I think I want to use her pick-up line.
That is a brilliant line.
