Wow, Jon, you really hate that guy who has the show after yours. He's obviously annoying the crap out of you.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

It sounds almost exactly like a Stone Temple Pilots song
I think that's why I was unimpressed by both the earlier songs... Slither sounds like an STP tune, but somehow not as good, and the one from the Hulk soundtrack sounded a lot like a GnR tune.
Fall To Pieces is the first song that sounds like they're trying to find their own, new voice.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I love Frank Kozik's posters--I have a book of 'em.
edit: Kozik poster at above link.
Now playing: Jesus and Mary Chain Psychocandy. Is this one of the best albums of the late '80s or what?

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Yeah, Weiland's a good singer, but he's a really crappy person. And I loved the subheading that pissed him off so much:
They're clean, sober, and ready to rock the world. So who did former GN'R members Slash, Duff, and Matt pick to front their new band ? Velvet Revolver ? ex-Stone Temple Pilot Scott Weiland. Of course. The biggest f**k-up of them all.
Good question.
EDIT:

HELLS yeah, tommy.

I'll second that on Psychocandy.
On an unrelated note, Kozik's personally declared the poster I did for the Kinks tribute band (the one I sent DX) to be the ugliest thing he'd ever seen on Gigposters.com. Kozik hates my sense of humor!

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Thirded.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My conversation with Emmett this morning.
Emmett:
[as I'm putting in a CD for our commute]
"Awww. I wanted to hear KFOG."
Me: "Okay."
Emmett:
[upon hearing a generic folky pitching some benefit]
"Uh, actually that CD is okay. I'd rather hear some rock and roll."
Me: "You would? Well, I do happen to have a really rocking compilation here. The Rough Trade rock and roll comp."
Emmett: "Can you turn it up full blast?"
Me: "Yep, for a little bit anyway."
[cranks up Iggy's "I Got A Right" to 11]
Emmett: "That. Was a really great song. I could feel it in my chest."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

On an even more unrelated yet tangential note, I have an autographed copy of the Kinks' Misfits album hanging on the wall of my back room. Whem my five (and a half) year-old niece came to visit this weekend, she refused to go in there until I took it down and removed it from the room, because it was weird and scary. Art critics, go figure...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm trying to think of a Kinks cover that DXM's niece wouldn't mind. Muswell Hillbillies isn't too scary. And Schoolboys in Disgrace is at least cartoony.
I've been trying to fill in my late 70s British rock and roll gaps, and bought the second Ultravox album (Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!). This is when they were still John Foxx's band and arty/glam/guitar instead of the New Romantic Vienna Midge Ure edition. It's pretty great.
