Holy ****.
My fave version of 'Baby', certainly. Although Os Mutantes and Gil both have corkers, themselves.Quoting Clipper Ship Captain (view post)

No prob - great album and band.Quoting SirNewt (view post)
True confession time: this is absolutely one of my all-time favorite songs, and it's finally on YouTube! I urge you to check it out. Barty would love this, and so, I've included the politically-charged lyrics.
Rise Up! by Bobby Conn. Enjoy.
[youtube]S0h0M0YGW4k[/youtube]
The word is out on the street
Caesar's house is growing weak
And all his generals are scared so you better be prepared
He gave the order to his pigs
Jail the men and starve the kids
But I can't help you baby when the empire falls
Things look good in Babylon, yeah the rich still get it on
But now they gotta build up a fence
To protect their decadence
And every year they build a little higher
Their necks are tighter in the wire
But I can't help you baby when the empire falls
You wonder what went wrong
Why can't we just get along?
Their televisions feed you lies
Market forces alibis
Every hour the class divide
Pushes us towards genocide
But I can't help you baby when the empire falls
I don't mean to frighten you but
Baby, what you gonna do?
Pretty soon now you gotta choose
Bet to win or you're surely gonna lose
'Cuz a winning smile ain't no defense
If you're sitting on the fence
'Cuz I can't help you baby when the empire falls
And I know the plan for you
And there's nothing, child, that I can do
Jesus! He came back
Jesus! High on crack
Jesus! Threw Him in jail
Jesus! Can't afford the bail
Yeah, the Man is strong
That's the reason for this song
And I can't help you baby when the empire falls
Rise up! It's your only chance
Rise up! It's your only chance
I can't help you baby when the empire falls
A couple of awesomely mainstream, sugary, pop hits.

Very true, though her hotness is at least half the reason I somewhat fondly remember the song.Quoting Sven (view post)

Still mulling over some of the hardcore stuff D recommend. Really enjoyed revisiting Dinosaur Jr. Don't think I've ever actually listened to "Living All Over Me" before.
Also listening to Ratatat, LP 4. First couple songs are great. I'm not sure how much I like the whole album though.
Fixed.Quoting Spinal (view post)

Listening to Talking Heads' Remain in Light for the first time all the way through. "Once in a Lifetime" is criminally catchy.

Big Boi - "Tangerine"
If Sir Luscious Left Foot isn't album of the year, it's probably the one I'll play to death the most.
Like almost all of their songs, the live version off the reissued The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads is even betterQuoting Brightside (view post)
Awwww yeah. That album is amazing.Quoting Brightside (view post)
Fun fact: Phish played the whole thing cover to cover live for Halloween 1996.
