'Safe'
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.
Toussaint's From A Whisper To A Scream was one of the records I considered for the book.
I've always liked the John Cale verson of Hallelujah, and it FREAKED MY SHIT UP when I heard it used in Shrek.
Didn't it feel like overkill? Like, playing "Strange Fruit" over a Ren & Stimpy cartoon?

Dude, *that* would be funny.

Especially if it was Siouxsie and the Banshees cover of it.

Oh yeah. I thought it was an odd choice at best. I was freaked out at hearing it at all.
Ahhh, almost there.

Hec, when is the book coming out?
'Cause any book with an index featuring both Herb Alpert and the Andrews Sisters (BTW, ever seen Buck Privates?) sounds like my kind of book.

erinaceous was going to try to do something at Quimbys.

And The Angry Samoans! There's a fair amount of non-rock of many flavors in the book. But yeah, there are articles on Sam Cooke and Jackie and Roy in there too. I've got a whole sidebar on jazzbo singers.
