Just a little prick.
Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To
Just a little prick.
…and he’s set fire to the fridge, rummaged through Dinah’s purse when she wasn’t looking, and then he fucked the butter.
Alles ist wunderbar, meine lieben. Alles ist wunderbar.
The sniper in the brain, regurgitating drain
Incestuous and vain, and many other last names
I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think “Oh God I’m still alive”
Presented drunkenly, and without comment.
Tiger King was weird, but it didn’t have anything on the 70’s.
We return, Enthusiasts, to the Dylan Cover Contest, which I again remind you is not a competition. Some of you have followed orders and posted your choices in the Comment Section, where asked you to, and others of you–roundheaded cheese-thieves that you are–answered on Twitter. Some of your picks are brilliant, and a couple of you like that lady who sings in French.
You know that TotD is not xenophobic, but the site does have a policy regarding foreigners, and that is: They should be hated and feared, Doubly so if they talk gobbledygook, and these gobblings were on purpose! Fuckface Condition was a British band. They chose to sing in French. Serge Gainsbourg sang in French, but he didn’t have any other options. Maybe scat-singing. But this was a brunette lady named Sandy who grew up in London, so I can get mad at her decisions.

Hey, Bob Dylan.
“I need drugs and a dogsitter.”
I’ll work on it.
All you can hear is Jimi’s voice and guitar, but no one’s hitting play for Chas Chandler. (That would, however, be a Rock Nerd Power Opinion: I think Jimi Hendrix never recovered after losing Chas. Pull that one out of your cargo pants at the next Phish Scholars conference; you’ll start a riot.)
*It is in no way a contest. This title is misleading, at best. I don’t understand how these mistakes keep getting through.

Might as well play the whole set.
This is The Old Grey Whistle Test, which is named that because the English are fanciful nancyboys, every one of them; it’s an island of whimsy. BUT, unlike the lip-synced performances on Top of the Pops, bands played live on TOGWT. This is preferable.
It was cold
And rained
So he felt like an actor.
Some people write entire books and don’t say as much as that one line.
