@noamjamski: Man, I'm so old that I was hipped to that KJ record by the hardcore kids in my high school, probably about the same time James was taping Lar's copy of it. But, indeed, it had a mighty impact.

But thanks for this; my girlfriend is gonna love it. Me, as far as metal went I really liked them before they became rock stars but they seemed to get progressively more lame as I lost my taste for metal. But hearing this is a kick and reminds me of why it could be so fuckin' excellent. It's just the guitar solos. I, for one, was happy when punk rock cut down on guitar solos.

On The Flippity-Flop: The Futureheads Get In The Picture

This is one of my favorite covers. Futureheads at their poppy, harmonizing best. There's no excuse for how dull News & Tributes was.

Fireplace is my favorite song of all time. I have it on the singles collection, and I play it for anyone I am auditioning to come into my inner friend circle. If they don't like that song, they are kicked to the curb. True story.
When I saw Apples in Stereo, I was very sad that Bill Doss was relegated to tambourine duty. He has (had?) so much in him.

Yeah, that was a weird slip. The Pussycat Dolls aren't the only ones with acronym problems today.

Wow! I haven't heard Jackie Blue for like ten years. Thanks for the memories.

Almost makes me want to smear on some black eye makeup, throw on a Zero t-shirt and get in a heated debate over whether 'Not Worth Asking' is a better b-side than 'Apathy's Last Kiss'. (its not)

On The Flippity-Flop: Solex Takes A Stroll Down Pavement’s “Shady Lane”

My dad has a Solex (French moped) he bought in 1973, and it has always played a part in family folklore [along with my brothers drunkenly breaking the deck off the back of the house and the Parkers' divorce], so I have always approached the idea of this act with a sense of weird friendly familiarity, from when I first read of it in, when, 1998?

And yet, to this track, I say thee "meh!"

Weird how that works.

Wait. Chrisb...are you from Auburn, too? Are you talking about the house on the corner of Samford and Gay (I forgot the dude's name now...Green Day played there!) or the Clown House? I would go to those jamz when I was in high school there. A great time, for sure.

don't arrangements tend to be fleshed, rather than flushed, out? though with smog you might as well flush that shit.
