'Selfless'
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.
Bonzo Dog Band alumnus Vivian Stanshall's Sir Henry At Rawlinson End.
Can't beat a bit of Sir Henry. He did a late-night TV ad for Ruddles beer in the late '80s that still terrifies those of us who remember it. One of the real, great tragic genius figures of the British '60s, Viv Stanshall was. You know he died in a fire a while back?
I am worried, though, because I've listened to that AC/DC song about five times already.
Which Accadacca song did he put on the mix?
You know he died in a fire a while back?
Damn. That's a shame.
"It's a Long Way to the Top"
Ah, well, of course. That one's hard to resist. t starts playing chunky chunky air guitar
Glad you enjoyed it erinaceous! AC/DC are, well, not my usual thing perhaps, but they transcend all musical boundaries really don't they.
(BTW one of the laneways in Melbourne is going to be renamed "ACDC Lane"!)
This just in from Yo La Tengo:
Do you have a tv? Do you live in the US? Well, we're going to be on the McEnroe program Thursday night. It airs on CNBC at 10 pm where we live (Hoboken), and who-knows-when where you are. And they rerun it too. We'll play a song, and we're going to be the house band as well.
That's tonight. They're not on TV very often, so this should be special. Try to ignore Mac's godawful interviewing skills.
I kinda like McEnroe's show-- he's quicker on his feet than I would have guessed. The complete lack of control over the show is refreshing. Not that I've seen more than one episode, but I pity his low ratings.
I remembered another alternating vocalist band, Lyra Jane: 311.
Oooh, here's another "can't miss." I quote verbatim:
