To be honest with ya, I'm really not farmiliar with how blogs work. The word "blog" has always sounded so graceless that I've never looked into it. "Hey, didja see my blog?" translates to me into "Hey, check out what I left in the toilet."

"Two Tickets To Paradise" produced "Two Fingers To Flatulence." That said, I'm still agog that Ronnie Spector sang on one of his records.

They coulda been huge in the early to mid-80's, but that's not gonna happen when, a week after you break the top 20, yr on the Outer Hebrides following ley lines, or trynna trace the "bunnygod" image across half the globe, or what have you. Which was great, of course, but doesn't translate into sales. But these days, with everyone from Coldplay to Courtney dropping their name, and the Donnie Darko thing, you'd think more people would bother checking them out. I think it's possibly got a lot to do with, in this IPod-happy ADD culture (and I think ADD is a lot more of a reactive social phenomenon than an internal illness), the idea of an "album" or even "band" is becoming archaic or antiquated. Music is becoming viewed as increasingly disposable ear candy, a "lifestyle accessory," and if it ain't "chirpy chirpy cheep cheap" (sic! > > ) ! > > > th! > > > > en it's > > > > not gonna sell on a mass scale. So much of what's marketed as "alternative" is just Hanson with hair gel. I mean, "Jimmy Eat World"? Right. More like "Jimmy Suck Shit." (OK, not really that bad, but the Gang of 4 they're not . . .). > > > > > > > > Nothing new, really, I guess. I'm sure there are far more people who pepper their store-bought pret-a-porter "opinions" with "Velvet Underground" than people who have regularly experienced the sheer depth, breadth, and arguably girth (heh) of the Velvets' brilliance. To which I respond with a shrugged "Fuk 'em."
