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.
Mo is awsome. I've seen her live twice.
Her version of Pale Blue Eyes (with Lou doing the guitar solo) is my favorite.
R.E.M.'s is the worst.
eta: I just did a search for "Maureen Tucker" on iTunes. It didn't come up with any matches. It asked me, "Did you mean Married Sucker?"
but I thought they were all glam-ish.
Nope. More like Suicide, but with sexy scandavians in leather. Lots of hellish rockabilly imagery. But no glam nor rockabilly.
I see. I do like me some Suicide. In fact, I was blaring Frankie Teardrop last night. My wife came in to tell me to stop disturbing our unborn child, but, y'know, I suspect that the fruit of my loins likes Suicide, too.
waits for Polter-Cow to post about how excited Mo must be, getting to play with the Raveonettes.

I'll do you one better and ask who Mo Tucker is.

"Damn kids! Getta offa my heroin kit!"
She was the drummer with the Velvet Underground.
Jilli will be happy to hear that I bought Placebo's Without You I'm Nothing. I'm listening to it now. Track 3 is ending. Why the hell did I not get this until now? Shit.
When I was in the record store buying TNoTBiTH, they were playing something cool-sounding from Blond Redhead. I'd never heard of them before. Anybody like them?
eta: I've finally jumped on the Snow Patrol bandwagon (thanks to P-C and cathy). I listened to Final Straw twice and I was kinda meh. Then two weeks after I had last listened to it, iTunes randomly played a few songs from it. I was all "This is really good - who is it?" So I guess I needed three listens plus some time for it to seep into the cracks in my brain before I could fall for it....
Blond Redhead
Yes! Mr. H picked it up a while ago. I liked it, but I haven't come across it lately. I'm awful at describing music, or I'd tell you what they were reminicent of.
