I certainly wouldn't start with it, but I did want to mention that I enjoy the hell out of Surprise, which came out just a couple of years ago. Produced by Brian Eno, too (so that was the hook for me, in the first place).

Charlie Parker - Jazz Masters 15 Flatt & Scruggs - Songs Of the Famous Carter Family Mekons - Rock 'n' Roll The Byrds - Sweetheart Of the Radio Love - Love

I know that I might be mocked for saying so, but this is a pretty great album. I could say that it was before he cheezed out, and it was. But we all know that he was most-likely a cheezeball from the start. Still, it was a centerpiece of my childhood listening and the title track is great. And, "Moving Out", "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant", "Always a Woman"... are some of the best songs he ever wrote. And "Only the Good Die Young" is the best. Anyone else here have some love for this? Show me the love...

Teenage Fanclub - "Is This Music?"

"Bye Bye Bye" just came up on random and... DAMN were these guys good!!! Jellyfish were a perfect pop band: simply an undeniable truth.

Highland Park (IL)

Meat Puppets - "6-Gallon Pie"

At first blush, it does seem very sad. In fact, that was my first reaction, too. But, as long as they're still putting out the albums that they want to put out... it's gotta be better than seeing them at The World in Tinley Park -- or the Aragon. Plus, you know, Gen X are all hovering around middle age now, anyway.

I thought that I posted about this already, but I did a search on him and was kicked out because the words were less than 3 letters long. But, to answer your question, it's because he's amazing. And the search function sucks.

Fabricando Tom Z

Odd. Didn't go to my 10-year, as it seemed too soon. But I will be going to this one, with my wife (who did not go to the same HS as I did). Kinda excited, but weirded out.

The Sea & Cake - Everybody Public Enemy - It Takes a Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back Judas Priest - Living Afer Midnight (Best Of) Zippperelli and His Orchestra - Zippy Is For Lovers (an old mix from a friend)

Now streaming for the rest of the day

Sorry. Brain surgery.

So, whaddaya think of that one?

So sick. Maybe the best thing put to record by any drummer, ever.

Wonder how many folks are gonna get in on Weinstein (obviously a Jewish guy) is only getting in on it for the cash -- and then use that as fuel for their own antisemitism? (disclaimer: I am a Jew.)

Mississippi Nights is GONE? damn. Saw some great shows there: X, Jonathan Richman, Television... (I went to Mizzou for a few years in the late 80's, early 90's)

Robert Pollard - "Sweet Child O' Mine" (like he doesn't have enough songs of his own!)

The High Llamas - Hawaii Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline Shrimp Boat - Some Biscuit + Daylight Savings The Best of the Johnny Cash Show - 1969 to 1971

I would love to see Andrew Bird take on "Paris, 1919" (John Cale). You?

Only good GnR cover is their take on: Fear - "I Don't Care About You" because I actually believe it.

Thanks, pifin! I updated the page again, with the first half of songs being me and my bands covering others, and the second half being other folks covering my songs. Seems like a thing.

I have updated my MUXTAPE page with old bands' covers of: Prince - "When Doves Cry" (noise-rock version) Naked Raygun - "Rat Patrol" (straight-forward, but faster) Del Shannon - "Runaway" (just an excuse for me to play the organ solo on guitar) HERE: http://www.hoponpop.muxtape.com
