29 Sept 2010: it's... Cover Songs

[RGMike]

uber-BOS3 Joey Ramone's "What a Wonderful Set-Closer" One I want played at my funeral.

TANC-of-the-month: I went to FB to post the above comment on AL's wall, and someone had already said the exact. same. thing. Kinda creepy, actually.

and another TANC -- switched over to 'LNG and got the 4 Tops fab cover of "If I Were a Carpenter".

First half BOS to Devo (and memories of the video), with a VVHM to the Beatles cover twin spin.  I was on my way to an appointment, and had to leave the vehicle during Dear Prudence.  I may try to catch the second half tonight, don't know that I've heard the Joey Ramone cover (probably have, but I don't remember it).

she used Devo's 'Satisfaction' as her video clip. That's what I would have chosen first, but I don't care what she picks.  I trust her.  After all, she's a professional.

and sure enuf, Devo leads off. AL likes covers that reinvent the orig, she says. And that's a *good* thing, I says.

WOS from me.  Out of the box is fine, out of the groove is not.  Babybabybabybabybaby don't insult my intelligence.

BOS to the Beatles twin-spin.  And I don't mind the Junkies' "Jane" all that much - in small doses.
