A Horrible Warning

Best. Concert. Ever.

I have to go to bed now. But here is one of the few pics I took at the Forum the other night that turned out OK, out of the many that I tried:

They played for 2 hours. I could have watched and listened for 2 days...

A Tender New Love is Born

I haven't watched MTV regularly since sometime in the early 90's. Pretty much when the Real World hit its second season (I watched the first, religiously...but the bloom was off that rose pretty quickly for me) the MTV I grew up with was dead. I didn't even see the famed Learn to Fly video until like a couple of weeks ago.

When I heard that my favorite song off the new Foo Fighters album (I think it's my favorite...ask me after a few thousand more listens) has a new video, I hauled my ass on over to YouTube and looked it up.

Holy hell Dave Grohl is a funny motherfucker.

Check it out.

Seriously. Who could miss out on Davy Grolton as Hansom Davidoff, soap opera doctor by day, Rick Springfield wannabe by, um, also day? 

Oh, and is it weird that I really want to lick Ty Hawkstone as Les Groper? I also find myself wanting to wallow in that hair. Yummy Andy Gibb-esque yumminess.

*God I miss EB.*

Cover My ASSSSS

So I reread that last post and decided you all might be happier with the original artists for my cover songs. Some of them may help it all make sense.

As if it will ever make sense. Yeah.

Anyway, here they are (and I'm repeating the whole list so you don't have to go back and forth because I am just that awesome):

6. Never Say Never (you know, "I might like you better if we slept together...maybe, never say never)- Queens of the Stone Age (Romeo Void...that doesn't fucking help me either)

5. Good Year for the Roses - Elvis Costello (George Jones...yes, it's country (I KNOW, me and country...alert my sister), and it's a beautiful, heartbreaking song)

4. Stone Cold Crazy - Metallica (Queen...I love it, a favorite covering a favorite)

3. Saturday's *Alright* for Fighting - Nickelback (Elton John...and shame on you if you didn't know that...and shame on me for the initial misspelling)

2. Blue Monday - Orgy (Orchestral Manuevers in the Dark, or OMD for the cool kids)

1. Darling Nikki - Foo Fighters (Prince, at his pervy finest)

Does that help? No? Then I don't think I can help you. Can't say I didn't try...(insert heavy, belabored sigh).

SATURRRRRDAY SATURDAY SATTTTTTURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURRRRRDAY  SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY NIGHT'S ALRIGHT...

Cover Me

There's a little "public service announcement" on one of the XM radio stations, my favorite in fact...it's called Squizz. It fits...anyway, it goes something like this:

"Adice for new bands: cover songs - cool. Cover bands - totally lame."

I got the words to that completely wrong, but you get the idea. Anyway, they played that tonight, and I have to agree. So I figured out my Top 5 6 (I'm greedy, bite me). Here they are, with the artist that did the remake listed.

6. Never Say Never (you know, "I might like you better if we slept together...maybe, never say never)- Queens of the Stone Age

5. Good Year for the Roses - Elvis Costello

4. Stone Cold Crazy - Metallica

3. Saturday's All Right for Fighting - Nickelback

2. Blue Monday - Orgy

1. Darling Nikki - Foo Fighters

Yep, I have some eclectic strange taste.

Do tell. What are your favorites? If you are having trouble remembering if a song is an original or not, look it up here:
