I have no problem with covers, but...

...but this one is fairly inspired, IMHO.  ;)  Sounds like a dance remix.

BOS4 Da Bangles!!! 

BOS2 from me.  This is majorly remixed, to my ears: I'm hearing congas front and center, and more pronounced phasings.  I like.

Not to mention a L-O-N-G version.  Funky!

Today is Zappa's birthday, right?
Yes, he would have turned 70 today.

I've been playing too much Scrabble, I thought you just typed insipid!

Actually, it's not bad, I was just being an old grouch.  I kind of like the Bangles.
Don't stand in the way of LOVE!

Very nice.  BOS, uh, 3 or so.  Was working and not really paying attention to what I was hearing, so the Tull just slipped on by, but that would have got one, and of course Frank.

BTW, the Zappa Plays Zappa show I went to Dec. 1 was awesome.  They played Apostrophe in it's entirety, with Frank video'd in, playing guitar (awesome), and singing.  Pretty cool effect.

Super set -- one for the archives.  Too bad there'll be no marathon on Sat due to Xmas.

True Story: Until recently I thought TJ Maxx was a Trader Joe's superstore. I guess I need to get out more often.

I wonder if you were to ask AL real nicely if she'd do it at another time.

I'll have to DVR the show tonight for the extended Bangles - the only version I'm aware of is the single, which is only about three minutes long.
