Didn't they also do a cover of Luka?

And didn't I ask this question the last time someone posted about this Lemonheads cover?

Indeed! I had forgotten about that one.

I heart Evan Dando.

So we ordered a limited-distribution bottle of wine and my husband ordered my Christmas present online.

He was out of town last week.
So I get the UPS notice for the present, but not the wine. When I went to check the tracking, it said that the wine had already been picked up. I call. I have not picked up the wine. Yes you did. No I didn't. OK we'll investigate and call you 10:00am Monday. No call. Husband goes to pick up my Christmas present and they say he's already picked it up. No I haven't. Yes you have. Do you have my signature? Hm, some guy named deAngelo picked it up. Who is that? I don't know.

So now my Christmas present and a limited edition bottle of wine is in the hands of some random guy who stole the UPS notice off my door. UPS checks my ID everytime I pick stuff up, but didn't check the guy who stole my stuff.

Anyone have any experience with getting UPS to reimburse? How long is this going to take?

Don't you know? You have to bribe the UPS people to get your deliveries. UPS stands for Usually Package Stolen.

It's amazing nobody put two and two together about Halford back then.

I did when I saw him sucking KK Downing's cock.

Now that... That is motherfucking hard core, ollllld school. That is possibly the most obscure cover reference I have ever read.

"Unleashed in the East," right?

It's amazing nobody put two and two together about Halford back then. He'd have been less flamboyant doing interviews about his love of lace draperies and flouncing around screaming "fabulous" between songs.

Yeah, I love that album.

And, yeah, halford made George Michael look straight.

Yes, they will fuck you every which way to Sunday and not pay you, even if you paid for insurance on the item, like a bicyle that they damaged in transit. (Not that I'm bitter.)

"Oh, sorry... Wrong dressing room. My bad."

So then Downing was gay as well? Or did he subscribe to the "as long as you're not 'catching,' it's not gay" school?

I can't get into any part of their catalog earlier than British Steel. I don't dislike the old stuff, but when I hear their old shit, I just decide I'd much rather hear Sabbath. And once I listen to "Master of Reality," everything else seems to pale in comparison for me. "Lord of This World" has a such a killer sludge groove.

A friend and I are doing a CD swap this gwfgwf season. The theme is cover tunes, and I'm looking for a bit if inspiration.

The top contenders for the final burn are:

Don't Fence Me In - David Byrne covering Cole Porter
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - William Shatner covering the Beatles
For A Dancer - Jackson 5 covering Jackson Browne
Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole covering Judy Garland
Personal Jesus - Johnny Cash covering Depeche Mode
One - Aimee Mann
Burning Down the House - Tom Jones covering Talking Heads
Naive Melody - Shawn Colvin covering Talking Heads
Blackbird - Brave Combo & Tiny Tim covering the Beatles
Que Sera Sera - Pink Martini covering Doris Day
Top of the World - Shonen Knife covering the Carpenters

A coworker recommended the following -
Ring of Fire - Social Distortion covering Johnny Cash
Across the Universe - Fiona Apple covering the Beatles
and the Me First and the Gimme Gimme's body of work.

Any others?

I can't believe no one said Joe Cocker, With a Little Help From My Friends.

I would also recommend Bob Dylan doing House of the Rising Sun (and later versions thereof).

For the nostalgic children of the 80s: Red Red Wine, by UB40.
