Huh. I just found out (because I keep forgetting to look at things like this) that My Chemical Romance is coming to the Aragon on December 15. Which is, like, only a couple of blocks from me.

Apparantly this was released a year ago?

Yeah, there was a lot of discussion on music blogs last year about the FF's version of "Norwegian Wood." They explicitly set the song to a Dylan melody and strum thing that is sorta interesting and sorta annoying at the same time.

Apparantly this was released a year ago?

Yep.

Track listing: [link]

The Fiery Furnaces is the best thing on it, by far.

Thanks for the links, Jon.

I also liked the version of "What Goes On" by Sufjan Stevens a lot. I've only listened to the whole thing once so far, so others might grow on me....

Does the second account have the same password as the first one?

Same password with "2" appended on the end.

A bunch of punk videos with chick singers: [link]

The Flying Lizards: Money (1979?)
Featuring scary minimalist singer Deborah Lizard.

Joan Jett: Cherry Bomb (1982?)
Joan Jett was a member of The Runaways, which did this song first.

Danielle Dax: Tomorrow Never Knows (1990)
Usually I don't like Beatles covers, but this is an exception.

The Runaways Schooldays (1979?)
Joan Jett was in this band before going solo.

Bow Wow Wow: I Want Candy (1982)
A post Sex Pistol's Malcom McLaren manufactured group.

X Ray Spex:The Day the World Day Glo(1976)
Singer Poly Styrene is one of my favorites. What an interesting voice!

BONUS: Debbie Harry sings in 1980 movie,Unmade Beds.

I bet Hec has copies of all these....

I bet Hec has copies of all these....

I didn't have them on video before, though I do have all the songs (excepting Danielle Dax).

Side Notes: the singer in Flying Lizards was legally blind; Sandy West drummer of the Runaways died recently; Danielle Dax had a nose ring before they were popular (also she recorded the tracks playing all the instruments herself, in the Prince style); "I Want Candy" was originally released by the Strangeloves in the sixties - a studio manufactured group which included Richard Gotterher who later produced the first Go-Gos record and Marshall Crenshaw's first record (not coincidentally their best records); I ordered the first X-Ray Spex LP special through GEMM distributors and it was worth about $80 before it came out on DVD. Also Poly Styrene was a young UK Muslim girl - as was Annabella Lwinn, the lead singer of Bow Wow Wow. Also Marco Pirroni of Bow Wow Wow had been in Adam and the Ants and later went on to co-write songs with Sinead O'Connor.

Wow. Cool.

Was it Laura Logic who was a Hare Krishna or something? or was that Poly Styrene? (I think Poly Styrene is my favorite punk name evah.) Wait, wasn't Poly institutionalized?
