It seems unhipster-ish to suggest a recent popular song, but this reminded me of the amazing cover that White Stripes did of Burt Bacharach's "I just don't know what to do with myself." Seeing it live . . . simply incredible. |

Article on learning to love hair dye
http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/200...hair_makeover/
For your sort of on topic reading pleasure. Odd that she'd conclude that her disinclination to dye greying hair was pathologically linked to her anorexia and need to punish herself with her rigorous body-image standards - maybe so, in her case, but it seems it would have been more interesting to listen to the musings on the subject of someone with more usual "I'd be selling out" and "admitting I need hair dye to pretend I'm still young means I'm not young" objections.
BR(had a 98 y.o. great grandmother who dyed her hair a rediculous shoe polish black until the day she died, and she was looney as a toon and as cool as hell)C

I would like to see either (i) Atari Teenage Riot or (ii) basically any good ska band cover Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits.

I'm waiting for the highlights on Sportscenter. If she won because she's a girl who can dunk (which seems likely considering that picture is a push dunk if I ever saw one), it's pointless to rant about because everyone will know it.

No kidding. Especially since the dialogue, and the sign, are unchanged. Now it just seems as if both Wayne and the shop-guy are on Whitney-strength-crack.
Anyone catch Kathy Griffin's D-List show on Bravo last week? Hilarious story about an encounter with Whitney. |

I can explain. Everyone from Toronto must be a Mike Myers fan. It's in the constitution. |

Like Divine's cover of Walk Like a Man. Took the song to a whole new level.

Don't get me wrong, I dig Atari Teenage Riot. The problem with them doing Manilow songs is that the songs would most likely be unrecognizable as Manilow tunes. The would be transformed into some Atari Teenage Riot songs with screamed Manilow lyrics. Maybe I am wrong - they might be able to pull it off. But, I think the essence of a good cover is to retain the enough of the original and then to build onto it with something new. Like when Tesla did a cover of "Signs."

Guitar festival
Anyone know anything about a guitar festival in Dallas on 4th of July weekend?
ETA further details from IM conversation:
ex-: I'm gonna be in Dallas July 4th weekend
me: cool.
me: Dallas is about 300 miles away, though.
ex-: I'm going to Clapton's Festival
ex-: what's that?
me: Eric Clapton is organizing a Guitar Festival in Dallas for July 4-6 with Carlos Santana, Steve Vai, Robert Cray, B.B. King, Brian May, Joe Walsh, Jimmy Vaughan and others.
me: sounds cool.
ex-: I just read about it and am scouting tickets
me: ah..
ex-: Found it...just got tix for all three days...
ex-: Crossroads Guitar Festival
ex:
me: who all is playing?
ex-: Eric Clapton and Doyle Bramhall II,J.J. Cale, Larry Carlton, Robert Cray, Buddy Guy, David Hidalgo, Eric Johnson, B.B. King, Sonny Landreth, Brian May, Robert Randolph, Otis Rush, Carlos Santana, Hubert Sumlin, Dan Tyminski, Steve Vai, Jimmie Vaughan and Joe Walsh. The extraordinary "house bands" will be none other than Booker T & The MG's, Jimmy Vaughn's band and Eric Clapton's band. Other artists will be announced as details are confirmed.
me: hmmm.
ex-: It's gonna be awesome!
ETA again
ex-: Ticketmaster has the tickets on sale for $15 a day plus charges. Came to $19 a ticket
ETA one last time that the date according to Ticketmaster is June 4-6, not July. Here's hoping my ex- didn't buy plane tix.

One of the early Stiff's live sampler had Elvis doing that exact song- .
Best cover/tribute album is "If I were a Carpenter." Shonan Knife's "on top of the World", Babe's in Toyland, several other good bands. Cover/Tribute album to make you take off the tribute album and put on the original "Never Mind the Sex Pistols, Here's the Tribute Album."

Why not just get Public Enemy to cover TRB? |
