Holy Cow!  BOS (& maybe of the week) The Monroes!


New to me.  Grand stuff.  But Best of Week for me is still Manassas. (Speaking of which, this live performance is even better, with the added percussion: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PlNT5w7Mjmo)

WOS the 'oo -- maybe their worst single, IMHO. And I don't enjoy saying that.

Ginger grabs XTC's biscuits.  Mandy Moore, of all people, covered this a few years ago.


WHAT???


You're gonna flip your wig at this track listing:

http://www.amazon.com/Coverage-Mandy-Moore/dp/B0000DFZZT


JEEZUS!  Are any of those actually, y'know, good?


one review says: "It must be said, these are first-rate karaoke versions. If Mandy Moore wants to be the Eva Cassidy for a new generation, she still has a ways to go. I hope she makes it."

Well, I do give her props for ballsiness/stupidity.  She's made some good acting choices too, most notably Saved.

HM to T-Bone Burnett - kind of an unusual sound for him, no? Almost a recursion to the Trio that led off the set.

I suspect Ginger has just made Mark's week with "Somebody's Baby."

BOS5 Spicoli! BOS6 "Somebody's Baby"! Jackson shoulda been Oscar-nommed for this tune.  This is the best '82 set in ages.

you're off a bit.  the Mr Hand/Jeff Spicoli bit did, but the J Browne is not that enticing.

The talent assembled for Fast Times... is still astonishing to me.  More on that later.

Mike's comment clarifies who my comment should have been directed at.  My flawed memory, as usual.

agreed.

I'm fixin' to hit you guys with a bunch of FT@RH trivia, but here's one for free.  Before Sean Penn met Madonna he had already been briefly engaged to the sister of a major rock star, whom he met on the set of FT@RH?  She had a minor part as one of the two lead actresses' classmates.
