Surprising Video Sighting On VH-1 Classic This Morning: "Waiting for Mary" by Pere Ubu.
A Pere Ubu video. Huh.
Gunn ,'Not Fade Away'
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.

Went and saw TMBG Sat night. They did songs from their newest album and of course some older stuff- loved the songs from the new one. Plus they did one off the kids' cd. Has anyone else heard the new one?
I'd forgotten how astoundingly great (and weird) the Fall were.

(BTW, does everyone who reads SFJ know that his brother Tobias designed the font used in the 9/11 cornerstone? The story is way cool, and tres apt.)
Best anti-drug song evah!
I have to respectfully disagree, the best anti-drug song is "Dope Pusher" from the 1973 record Bill Cosby Talks to Kids About Drugs. (Principal lyric: "I don't need no bad drugs!")

I have a soft spot for the Verve's The Drugs Don't Work. "They do nothing! All the other kids are lying to you!"
What about the riff in "Kicks," by Paul Revere and the Raiders?
Paging tommyrot!
erinaceous cannot locate the Angus and moonlit CD mixes. can you please resend them to her?
Teppy, do you have mail from me yet?
Today's earworm: "Kiss Me Like You Mean It" -- The Magnetic Fields. We were listening to disc 2 of 69 Love Songs on the way to work this morning, because there was a MF song in one of the Queer as Folk episodes I watched last night, which made me very happy. QaF has remarkably good music, actually. (Now watch, Angus will come in and tell me about how horrible and derivative all the club songs they play are. But I like them!)
Kate, I do! I meant to post that yesterday, and my brain went on walkabout. Thank you! (I haven't listened to them yet, because like a dope, I left them at work yesterday.)
Speaking of listening, have you listened to disc two yet?
