WOOOO HOOOO!!!!

Y'all may or may not recall, but everytime Dave plays something from Arc Of A Diver, I always reply that I wish he'd play "Spanish Dancer".

One of my favorite songs of the whole year!

(shit, got a phone call & missed the last half of the song!)

remember the first time Dave played "Jessie's Girl"? remember how you thought it was a triumph for pop music geeks everywhere? And now it's "oh Gawd not Jessie's Girl again!"

Okay, to make the time with Kim C pass a little faster here's a little quiz: She got Bette Davis eyes, but what did she get from Jean Harlow & Greta Garbo (according to the lyrics)?

Her hair is Harlow Gold and she's got Greta garbo skin on her thighs.

METTY BAVIS DIEEESSS!

I just realized that I've always heard that line as "hollow gold," which makes no sense whatsoever but there you go.


per a Google search, there are versions of BDE by Gwynneth Paltrow (!)and Crash Test Dummies (!?!)

Is the former from the same film where she did "Cruisin'" at karaoke with Huey Lewis?

It's solo Brad Roberts live, on the CD Crash Test Dude, which got the worst review I've ever seen on Allmusic.com.

Actually the review itself isn't that great, how can the following get past the copy editors: His version of Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" following a poem titled "Circumcision" is neither funny or ironic. It is plain pathetic.

VHM ja-bla-me-DI, ja-bla-me-DA, the Jon & Vangelis version.


Hey Joe, Allmusic needs a better artist summary for Jon & Vangelis.  Considering they made 4 albums the following is rather insufficient:

Yes singer Jon Anderson and Greek synth-composer Vangelis teamed up in the '80s for a pop-music experiment.


Do me a favor: Remind me of this in a few weeks when I don't have quite so much on my plate.  Thx!

P.S.  I like Donna's "State of Independence" better.
