Okay, not a lot of time here, folks, but I must explain my selections over at splotch's site. (www.isplotchy.blogspot.com)
the topic was gender, I chose men, here goes.
Paul Stanley by The Hellacopters.
Seriously. What band names a song after Paul Stanley? A great band, that's who. And one who just announced they are dissolving after their next album.
The Hellacopters will be the subject of my next edition of "The Mop" over at www.shuffleboil.com If you haven't been there already, shame on you. Come on by, we're doing some cool shit.
Pablo Picasso Visita Los Planetos de los Simios by Adam Ant. Pablo Picasso visits the Planet of the Apes? Adam must have been high. Oh, wait, he didn't do drugs. So, seriously, what the fuck? The song is as weird as it's title.
Jonathan by Nerf Herder. "Please god, don't let me end up like Jonathan Richman. Says it all right there. Nerf Herder always made me laugh and here they beat up on Indie's sensitive roving quirkmeister. Ha, always funny.
St. Jimmy the Prankster - Dean Gray. My late daughter's (www.lizzielulu.com) favorite band was Green Day. She wasn't too keen on the mashup from last year but, hey, she didn't quite get it yet. Dean Gray (get it? get it?) does such a great job of pointing out that all songs have been rewritten and art is repetetive and vital and all that stuff. This was available for one day on Dean Gray Tuesday last year. the album is one of the best mashups I have ever heard.
Vincent - Don Maclean. Because it is the greatest song ever written about an artist and his work. It succeeds on so many levels. It is touching and sad. It uses the canvas of the painting to illustrate the subject matter. It might be perfect. And no one dares cover it.
