There was a very good Cilla documentary a couple of years ago where they were saying that she basically had two voices, a sweet one and a strident one, and you had to include both to get her a hit.

Oh, and "Badge." I can't accept that 'Badge' is a Beatles cover. Written by Clapton, just an additional 'Sun sun sun here it comes' riff by Harrison, or am I wrong? Oh, and Ringo wrote "I told you 'bout the swans that they live in the park". I used to play "Sour Milk Sea" repeatedly, and I never understood why it didn't sell. Possibly it wasn't as hooky as "Simon Says" or "Chewy Chewy" or "Sticky Sticky". > "I Don't Want To See You Again" is a great song performed by two wankers.

REM and Wilco cost $67! I think it's even worse for the LA show. I'm having a real crisis about whether or not to shell out. My Neil Young & Lucinda Williams tickets already put a dent in my daughters' college funds. But I keep reading the setlists and reviews from REM's shows in Europe, and man... it's tempting. ____ Me & Jeff D: >>>>A Lot Like The Church's But Not Quite as Good (that being the definition of >>>>the House of Love). >>I think you have that backwards... Not for my money, but YMMV. As much legitimate smack as can be talked about the Church, I hear a little more depth and originality in their sound. Not that I don't like the House of Love, they just strike me as more of a workaday variation on the theme. I seem to recall Rolling Stone describing them as "warmed-over Church, which always sounds like reheated Soft Boys to begin with". Not that I agree or care what Rolling Stone says, but hey, Robyn content. >>It drives me batty though, since Kristin keeps fucking up >>the words; same thing drives me nuts about Richard >>Thompson's "Kiss" from the bonus cd in Old Kit Bag. Sometimes I care about stuff like that and sometimes I don't. Echo & the Bunnymen turned in some of the greatest cover songs ever and I don't think Mac ever knew the lyrics to a single one of 'em and got by on pure swagger. REM has done some like that, too. _____ James: >>If you've read this far, you probably need to get a life Yes, but if we've read that far we shouldn't need you tell us that!

When I heard the live set that comes with "The Miller's Tale*" I was shocked that (A) he played it live with that lame-ass drum machine, and (B) something that I thought was a total vocal *mistake* one the original was replicated live (the bit where he goes "Our clothes..." then pauses for two bars of nothing and starts again, "Our clothes always wet"...) "The Wonder" is seen by some as a half-ass label-contract-ender, and indeed it sounds pretty demo-ish, but the tunes are strong. And tying it back to the Church, supposedly Marty Willson-Piper plays on it (Verlaine's buddy Jay Dee Daugherty having been a nominal Church member at the time). And no, it was never released in the States, but somehow I scored a used import copy of the CD in a used bin at a piss-poor Warehouse in Santa Monica circa 1994, which replaced my cassette copy purchased in Paris. (Lots of European place names on that album which remind me of my travels there, to which it was a large part of the soundtrack, so nostalgia comes into play here.) >>Do "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" count as Beatles covers?

I enjoyed it, most of all the "old" songs (Maps And Legends, Fall On Me, I Believe, Exhuming McCarthy), but the sound was bad where I was standing (the PA was directed to the back only; the people in the front only got the stage sound) and in some way it just didn't excite me as much as it used to.

This is particularly relevant since I kinda started the thread with the idea of Byrds covers, and their two biggest hits (and a few others) were "covers" (quotes since they released several Dylan tunes before Dylan himself did), as was the recently-much-praised "Goin' Back". Interestingly, nobody on the "Time Between" comp covers any of the best-known Byrds covers ("Turn Turn Turn", "Rhymney", "Tambourine Man" or any other Dylan tunes) and only Robyn and Pete Buck get away with a non-Byrd-penned tune, the traditional "Wild Mountain Thyme". And they deserve to get away with it; it's a beauty. ___ Da9ve: >>Eugene Chadbourne - A Day in the Life (this is killing me, man >>- - "4000 holes in Margaret Thatcher") Two Chadbourne mentions in as many days, putting him currently on par with Rush as a feglist touchstone.

The fish weren't always in the best of shape, and that could be depressing, but certainly no more depressing than looking at the clientele. Tying the 'Mart and NASCAR threads together, it always completely and utterly escapes me that auto-racing is so massively popular until I end up at the Wal-Mart back home, where it's a real task to find so much as a box of cereal or a kid's sippy-cup without some cornfed mullet-sportin' and possibly dead NASCAR star on it. The only people I know in LA with any interest in the stuff are males under age 5 (and as with so many things it makes me sooo thankful to have daughters). I don't wanna slam NASCAR too hard since I've often been unexpectedly flamed for slagging off "trailer-park sports" on lists and forums every bit as literate as this one.

Both Targets in my area have extensive home and garden centers. > Maybe they feel they can't compete with FM in that area in Portland. Huh... with lumber and bark dust and stuff? That's really surprising to me. Thankfully, there are no Target stores in the city really at all. They're all out in the 'burbs with the Bed Bath & Beyond stores and the Costcos and the like. There's only one Wal-Mart inside the city limits and it's way out in the trashiest area of the city (built to replace the defunct Eastport Plaza -- a truly depressing, mostly empty, indoor shopping mall in its final decade) and only one other that I know of within fifty miles. In fact, the only large chain store that I can think of having multiple locations within the city is Office Depot. There's a Barnes & Noble at the Lloyd Center mall and a Borders right downtown. There are no Old Navy stores, thank god (though in the past seven years or so there has been a ridiculous proliferation of hip & sexy national garbage clothing stores downtown including like three Gaps, a Banana Repubic and Ubercrummy & Fucked -- I blame the current mayor for relaxing policies on local ownership of storefronts). Oh, and there are God's plenty of Regal Cinemas. But we have Powell's and Music Millenium and Everyday Music and I don't think the big chains compete well with those monsters. Oh, and the locally owned Petersen's has completely removed the need for 7-11 and the like downtown (no, wait, there's a 7-11 in the University district -- but compare that with like twelve Petersen's). > Sacramento is pretty darn close to this description, too. Sacramento in > the summer is one of the most miserable places on earth. I think Sacramento and Phoenix are buit on the same model of "sprawl in a frying pan -- hold the oil".

"Get out of here," I said. "Nope, it's true. You can eat all the butter you want, but you can't eat margarine. You can drink heavy cream, but you can't drink milk." "What is this, the Bizzaro World diet?" "No, it's a low-carbohydrate diet. But you can eat all the fat you can stand." "Man, this diet sounds great! Does it work?" "Look at me. Yeah it works. But there are some things you can't eat. You can't eat sugar at all." "Hell, I can live with that." "And you can't eat pasta, bread or any grains." "Hmmm. I love my spaghetti, but if I get to trade it for a steak, fine." "You can only eat meat and vegetables, really. And when you start out, you can only eat one salad and one cooked vegetable a day. No more than 20 grams of carbohydrates from veggies per day." "This diet keeps getting better and better. Let me get this straight. You can eat all the red meat you want, but you have to temper the veggies? Now there's a twist." "And you can't eat fruit, cause there's sugar in that as well." "I can live without bananas, I guess. Man, I'm going on this diet as soon as I get back to Austin." "One other thing," he added. "You can't drink any beer on this diet." "Fuck, fuck, fuck! This diet sucks, man!"

A guy doing Weight Watchers went head to head against a guy doing Atkins. The results are worthless since by his own admission and due to some extremely stressful circumstances, the Weight Watchers guy dropped the program. Atkins guy dropped about 15 pounds in a month and has kept it off since then. However, Atkins guy went A.A. a few years ago, so the beer thing wasn't much of a concern for him. In the midst of all this diet-consciousness I discovered that, at 6'1" and 185, I was of average weight. Which is funny 'cuz I feel like a fat-ass, but that may come from the fact that until my mid-twenties it was almost impossible for me to get my weight *up* to 140. No, this didn't look healthy and suspicions of heroin addiction abounded, but I just feel like I've now gone too far in the other direction. My chin hasn't completely disapepared by any means, but I miss its old delineation and have been forced into the trendiness of growing a goatee to sort of hold its place. (It would be a full beard but damned resurgent Native American genes make that, alas, impossible). If I can get below 165 I think I'll shave it off and see what I've got.

The list seems surprisingly small to me, considering 1) the size of my collection 2) how much "Beatle-esque" music I own 3) that I opted to count solo Lennon/McCartney, and 4) that three concept albums (Laibach/Let It Be, "Golden Throats 4," the "I Am Sam" soundtrack) substantially boosted the tally. On the other hand, this doesn't count all the Beatle covers which I have on homemade tapes or EPs/CD5s. Or a large number of Beatles covers in the unarchived "Silly/Sadistic" section of my vinyl collection, which includes The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles, The Beatles Baroque Songbook, Moog Plays the Beatles and a number of muzaky Beatles covers by '60s easy-listening ensembles like the Mystic Moods Orchestra and the Hollyridge Strings. It strikes me that I'm less than thrilled with most of these tracks, and an awful lot of them are perverse or kitschy versions which shouldn't even be taken seriously. Hm.
