This is only peripherally related, but it sort of makes me think of this:

Its Radiohead done as bluegrass ... Rodeohead. Good stuff.

Happy Birthday, BC ... hope its a good one!

Happy Birthday Oily!

"Mother's Little Helper" ... Im not sure how much you can blame the Beatles for the prolific drug use of the 60s, especially. I mean, did people really do drugs because the Beatles sang about it or did the Beatles sing about it because it was so prevalent in youth culture already? I wasnt ...

Elvis covers the Beatles really well.

There are several Beatles songs that I would really love to hear Elvis take on ... I think has the perfect voice/way of singing for it.

It was my pleasure, Mr. Warning! I guess we must have missed Robert Wuhl. Who did we decide we saw? The new pope ... and ... Laura Dern from 10 years in the future? If he did any other songs I cant think of them. Highlights for me were The Poisoned Rose, Hidden Charms (with Elvis singing into the gu...

Have I ever been witness to your EC impression? I do remember that you do a great Jarvis Cocker ...

Ill be with her. Will you recognize me?

Thanks for the suggestions, maybe Ill pick those up next time I go CD shopping ... I do like trip hop and some electronic and some things that my iTunes has classified as "swirly." I dont know exactly where the Flaming Lips fit into all that, but I really enjoy them, and recently Ive been ...

Mr. A, how do you feel about the Thievery Corp. cds? Ive been wanting to get one of their albums for awhile, but I feel overwhelmed whenever I look at their backcatalog ...

Yeah. I'll be done with work and in the midtown area at 5:00 ... so basically I can meet anytime starting then ...

I could dig it. Elvis is welcome to break my heart any day ...

I happen to be free on Friday, as a matter of fact ...

Didnt he once give a pair of his underwear to David Letterman (a la Madonna)? If memory serves they were black jockeys ... Not that Id know about such things ... If Elvis asked me to, though, I'd have to say, sure, please, but just don't break my heart there hero... Ive just always figured that, sho...

I also dont have a ticket, so its not looking very good for me either, and I am deeply, deeply bummed out about it. Tried to get a 7th row orch ticket that was listed on Craigslist today, but sadly, it was already gone ...

Im game.

Happy Birthday, Bobster! Hope its a good one ...

Im fairly schizoid. Yay. And slightly borderline ...

Ahh, that seems about right.

Happy Birthday, KH!

I know I'm being a crybaby but I haven't gotten a seat in the first 5 rows for 2 years now, despite all my best efforts. I think I must be screwing something up... Ive never seen him from that close. I think the closest Ive gotten was the time I saw him with you, Mug, last February ... Other than t...

There's also the theory that some young men who have grown up in the church and become aware that they are struggling with something that is considered wrong, like a tendency toward pedophelia, will join the priesthood thinking it will stave off temptation, since they have to take a vow of chastity....

Let me know what you think of the Brian Eno, Blue ... Ive been wanting to check him out for awhile, but Im not sure where to start.

I am a little bit ashamed, but "Cry Me A River" is really, really good. I think my first real album was Ace of Base ... yeah.

And I also owned that MC Hammer tape, when I was around 10 ... and knew way too many of the words.

From Elvis' August 12, 2002 journal entry from the Island site: This had been my Ma’s last night out in her hometown before moving to a new house in Dublin – no small undertaking at the age of 75 – and the Liverpool crowd did not let me down sending her off with several rousing choruses. and a littl...

I try to only use my eyebrows for good ...

I started reading Lolita. I saw Kubrick's version a few months ago and its been in my head ever since. Fantastic movie, started off my newfound love of Peter Sellers ...

So far the book is also excellent.
