Any huge Robyn Hitchcock fans out there?
Yes.
The Alternative has him as a guest as part of their year-end wrap-up and they're showing lots of otherwise not-so-available videos along with it.
Ooh, cool.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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.

Hey, Mr. Broom, check your file sharing configuration -- I didn't realize that a chunk of my files are only shared with those on my user list. I'm ok with that, actually, but it might be why some people can't see your shared files.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I figure this is likely a lost cause, but if anyone would know how, it's you guys.
I just finally retrieved the contents of my old hard drive off of my folks computer, and I'm finding all of the music I got in college. Now, I should of course get rid of this ill-gotten music, but in the event that I, say, didn't, I'd like to identify some of it. I went through a punk cover phase, and a lot of it is really fun, but I never knew the band that did it. Is there a good online resource where I can look them up? Right now, I've just got 'punk covers' down as the artist.

If I only had a brain...
I totally fail to get the jokes in Spinal Tap, but looking at this history of various Deep-Purple-related bands, WHICH IS COMPLETELY SERIOUS, gives me a little of what they're parodying.
9989 - In July, Ian Gillan quits the group citing "musical differences."
1990 - Deep Purple - now comprised of BLACKMORE, Glover, Lord, Paice, and former RAINBOW vocalist, Joe Lynn, Turner - would sign with RCA Records. The resulting album, Slaves & Masters, would be released in November.
1991 - Deep Purple will tour in support of Slaves & Masters, encompassing the United States, S.America, Europe, England, Japan, Greece, Israel, Hungary, and the Pacific Rim.
1992 - Upon RCA Record's request, Ian Gillan replaces Joe Lynn Turner prior to the band entering the studio again. The result is an album called The Battle Rages On, which is produced by Roger Glover and Tom Panunzio.
1993 - Deep Purple - now with Gillan at the helm - tours Europe. In the midst of the tour, BLACKMORE makes it known that he's not pleased with the performance of Gillan thus far, and plans to depart at the end of the European leg. The band would complete the tour in Japan with guitarist Joe Satriani. Once BLACKMORE returned to the States, he would begin recruiting musicians for the formation of RITCHIE BLACKMORE'S RAINBOW.
And then the drummer exploded...
