Because this song has been running through my head all day long--even before I made it my ring tone--I figured I would share.

It was 1906, but we screwed the timeline up.
It wasn't just for kicks but I'm afraid that the gig is up.
I jumped through time, at the count of jump (Yeah, kinda like a pun)
Smashed the past and messed the whole thing up,
Now there's nothing left but Post-Apocalypse Punk.

Tried makin' a buck but we can barely stay aloft.
Tried to swing a deal but we pissed the wrong guys off.
Clock-Work guitar and a flintlock bass,
We blasted the past all over the place,
And there's nothing left but Post-Apocalypse Punk.

Just when I thought we had won,
we were back to the start again.
With no wind in our sails and the doldrums settin' in.
Now I'm covered in grease from my head to toes,
Slappin' the iron, but the engine's froze,
And there's nothing left but Post-Apocalypse Punk.

I am listening to Pandora.com and this cover
of "Video Killed the Radio Star" by Erasure. It's certainly identifiable as being the same source, but the tempo is different and it's just...not the original. It feels like one of those crappy re-imaginings of a beloved movie. Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, while visually stunning, left a lot of the concepts of the original film on the floor, though its ending was closer to the book's ending. While I love the premise of the ending in the book and in Burthon's film, there was one detail that just really killed it for me, which was the inscription above the momnument. Those of you who've seen it should know what I'm talking about. :)

So what are some other covers have you have heard that you didn't like? Or maybe a cover that you like better than original? Or maybe you feel more strongly about movie remakes?

For example, I like Abney Park's cover of "Creep" better than Radiohead's original version.

Here’s how it works:
1. Open your music player (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
2. Put it on shuffle.
3. Press play.
4. For every question type the song that’s playing. When you go to a new question press the next button.
5. Take what you want.

Palastorchester & Max Raabe

The Tainted Love Cover is just fantastic and while I have never been a Brittney Spears fan, I could easily listen to their cover of "Oops I Did It Again".

...because squirting liquids out your nose is never pleasant.

gypsiequeen pointed me at this video and while I am not a big fan of country--really don't care for it much--this video was hysterical!

Check out the guest spot about half way through. :D

Okay, off to work I go...

I just found out about the new David Gilmour concert movie. (Yea!)

It's a 2 disc DVD set coming out on the 18th. (Yes, I want!)

I also find out they will be showing the concert film at a theater near my home! (Yea!)

On Saturday the 15th. (That could work...)

At noon. (Still doable if it's not too long...)

It's two hours, thirty minutes. (*cries*)

Ah, well. Life will go on, but I will be all pouty. :(
