My favorite Beatles cover is "Lovely Rita" by Michelle Shocked.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Speaking of Beatles- I'm about to part with (in the sense of it no longer being in the office-'twas never mine) a signed white album. Sniff.
Sniff indeed! I love the White Album. I've got blisters on me fingers!!

Said his favorite parody (and he thinks it deserves to be parodied) is "Hairway to Steven". I must hear it! Seems to be a Butthole Surfers song, & no mp3 turned up in my not-too-comprehensive search. Anyone know/have it?
I'm positive I have this on cassette somewhere.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Morrissey, Christgau & Hec are in agreement. (Although Christgau kinda cheated on his desert island pick by choosing a compilation that included the Dolls' first album and Too Much Too Soon.)
Alejandro Escevedo too. I have a slight favoring of Too Much Too Soon (trivia: titled after Diana Barrymore's trashy bio) because I prefer Shadow Morton's production, and love Bob Gruen's pictures (both the front and back cover, and the inner sleeve). Also, while the first album has more great originals, their covers on the second are incredibly well-chosen. One of the great acts of pop archeology, as Greil Marcus noted.
Favorite Beatle cover: Nilsson's - "You Can't Do That" (which is not just the sole song, but a blending of multiple Beatle songs into one, changing melody from line to line in a seamless fashion. It's brill.)

You know, the more I think about Hairway To Steven, the more I think that you're not going to be able to find any of the songs on it, 'cause they didn't have names, only symbols.

saddest music news from my vacation, 2400+ miles in a car, 4 CDs were played, each only once.

Did you start writing "All driving and no CDs makes Msbelle crazy" over and over again? 'Cause I would have.

Today is Elvis Costello's birthday, y'all. Co-worker has (I think) BBC radio on the internet, and it's been an Elvis-fest all afternoon.
Elvis Costello is THE MAN.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Today is Elvis Costello's birthday, y'all.
Other birthday bods include Sean Connery and Gene Simmons. And Billy Ray Cyrus.

no. Navigation was actually a pretty constant thing and I was either driving or navigating 7 of the 8 days. Still, if I had my druthers there would have been at least 2 CDs played a day. One of teh riders just really prefers silence and or talking to music, so that was my gift.
