So, I take it you aren't voting?Jim Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14126808520365186688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1139427831951774672006-02-08T14:43:00.000-05:002006-02-08T14:43:00.000-05:00This is a great site, one I visit often.

But the dork in me is forced to comment that the song covered by Urge Overkill is "Wichita Lineman," by Jimmy (not Johnny) Webb, and the Glen Campbell version is much, much better than the lame Urge Overkill bombast. Anyway, the Scud Mountain Boys did a very nice, stripped-down version on "Pine Box."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1139336832348347962006-02-07T13:27:00.000-05:002006-02-07T13:27:00.000-05:00I love the cover for the O-Sins.

Her slightly sinister overbrow, the lock of hair falling over it, the random things in her hair, the fuzzy sweater, the way she has her hands on the rifle (nhuh, nhuh), the superhero T on her chest (for, what else, nhuh nhuh), the corsage that looks like it crawled right up there just to be next to her breast. So based on the cover's cover, I'd have to go with O-Sins.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1139332691525059682006-02-07T12:18:00.000-05:002006-02-07T12:18:00.000-05:00Gotta go with the Urge.

They were a pretty klassic Guyville act ---raw and driving---until Blackie came in and ruined it. Well, I gotta admit I did like some of Saturation.MrPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07553320483020955667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1139259074249858492006-02-06T15:51:00.000-05:002006-02-06T15:51:00.000-05:00gotta vote for poison idea, in memory of tom pig.gotta vote for poison idea, in memory of tom pig.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6484644.post-1139227343653960472006-02-06T07:02:00.000-05:002006-02-06T07:02:00.000-05:00Sons and Daughters, though the Urge Overkill is al...Sons and Daughters, though the Urge Overkill is also nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
