BOS New Order. "when I was a very small boy/Michael Jackson played with me..."

Now that we've grown up together, he just plays with Macauley.  Cracks me up that the day I switch out that quote, Dave summons its source.

It's a Monday--the chances of a by-the-book set rises exponentially. At least the Crowded House song wasn't DDIO.

Hey urth, if you didn't hear Little Steven's show last nite, check it out on his website -- it was a salute to "Nuggets" on the 33rd anniv of its release.

VHM Mr Winwood, "Semen Overspill". From the album Back in the Jai-alai.

VHM to Stevie, "Freedom Overspill."  Never would have been a hit had it not followed up a #1 smash, but still a very strong track, diminished only by the fake-horn synths that were all the rage from 1987 through 1991.

VHM2 REM, despite its ubiquity. Anyone know the significance (to Stipe or anyone else) of the initials "L.B."?

Apparently Dave isn't having the best day either--his YIM status message sez "AAAAACK monday."

Personally, we're having a network outage.  Figures.

Ya mean "Lester Bangs"?  I know he was a music writer, but haven't ever read his stuff, and I don't know what his influence was.  Enlighten me?

He's probably worn out from having to do that Eagles circus pop quiz today.

Bangs is generally regarded as one of the greatest rock critics ever.  But, "Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce & Lester Bangs..." ??? Stipe is a bit too cryptic for his own good sometimes.

Ahh yes, quite a few LBs.  I get yer question now.  Of course, I know nothing.  Seven Chinese Brothers is playing on RadioParadise right now, speaking of REM.

You forgot "Leonard Bernstein".

Bangs was played by Philip Seymour Hoffman in Almost Famous, he was the founding editor of Creem magazine & the mentor of Cameron Crowe.  Among other things he coined the term Heavy Metal (from the Steppenwolf lyric).  For bonus frink points, who was the very first Heavy Metal band?  (according to Lester)

Just finished listening thru the show, and you are not wrong, sir. A fabulous tribute to the Nuggets phenomenon, even if he didn't play my personal fave Nugget, A Double Shot of My Baby's Love. And I gotta say, I dug some of the newer, non-Nugget tracks as much as the genuine articles. The songs by the Greenhornes and the Gore Gore Girls were both cool, and I would not have picked the Iggy Pop tune out as being Iggy had I not looked at the playlist. Even the music beds are cool.

One thing I dig about listening to his show via the web is that you're not locked into listening to the ads--just hit the fast-forward button on the player, and you jump to the start of the next program, no muss, fuss or missed programming.

I'm not sure I liked Lester very much, but I'd vote for Blue Cheer as first heavy metal band, but who knows?  Led Zep, Beatles (Helter Skelter), Hendrix?
