Here it is, in whitefont, for the weak stomached:
5 - U2 - Beat On the Brat (Ramones cover)
So, uh, yeah.
'Out Of Gas'
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.

Hah! Cute.
Hey David! The dB's are reuniting!.
Does everyone have the password now?
I don't. Could someone send it to my profile addy? Thanks.
Currently listening to: The Wrens Meadowlands
I don't know how I missed this album when it came out (Sept. 2003) but thanks to the magic that is emusic.com I have just discovered it (and a couple of choice Wrens' bootlegs) and out of the ten or so new albums I've downloaded in the past few weeks this is the one I keep listening to over and over.
Funny! I have The Meadowlands here at work for listening today. It was high on my best of 2003 list. I've heard that Secaucus and Abbott 1135 are due for re-release soon.
In honor of the anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King, Jr, I'm listening to U2's Unforgettable Fire.
On another note, at the bar Saturday night, I tried to do a Pope mix on the jukebox, to little avail. Anyone have any good Pope songs, besides the Prince one and the Meryn Cadell?
Ha! I thought about using that song after I'd already sent my other choice. But I figured people would roll their eyes and say, "Gosh, Alicia picked that? Shocking."
Alicia K: trying to think outside her box since April 2005
Well, I could always pick Belle & Sebastian, but figured I'd leave that for someone else.

It is so good. My current favorite tracks are "Happy" and "Everyone Choose Sides". I have no idea how I stumbled across it - but I decided to download it after reading a review in pitchfork . For some reason this paragraph grabbed me:
Disappointed, I shelved the disc and stubbornly refused to listen to the final pressing, even after it arrived at the Pitchfork P.O. box loving wrapped in Tiffany-blue ribbon and paper. Which was about when everyone I knew began raving. People were stunned at my reaction: Surely we'd just heard different albums? And we had, but upon finally listening to the finished version after heavy persuasion from friends, it began to make more sense. This was a completely different band, defeated, miserable, and exhausted, absolutely, but not hopeless. Defying the unwritten rule that any band breaking a five-plus year hiatus must return lethargic and sapped of inspiration before retreating again to obscurity, here The Wrens prove themselves even more shockingly relevant than before-- they have survived extinction, and, fully inspired, they are telling the tale: The Meadowlands is a crushing confessional, documenting every disappointment of the past seven years, every difficult breakup, every bad gig.
Hey David! The dB's are reuniting!.
Right on! I hope Rigby can still do his crazy sideways drumming.
