The other day, Wil came home from work in shock. One of the young tech geeks he worked with did not know who The Smiths were. Or are. Naturally, he sat right down and made a cd of his favorite Smith songs. It’s important to educate the youth of today, in the emo of yesterday. This is my favorite Smiths song.
Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want – The Smiths
People ask me all the time if I am familiar with Coverville. The answer is yes, I often steal from it. Hee. I do get some ideas, but often I use it as a starting point. For example, I learned about this album of covers from the Pixies Cover Story episode. High School Reunion is a tribute to the music from 80’s movies, the John Hughes oeuvre and such. I plan to feature more songs from it in upcoming weeks. Because 80’s covers are my FAVORITE.

this has nothing to do with the current posting…memoirs of a geisha is an amazing book, i finished it in 3 days, could not put it down…the movie is good, but not better than the book 😀
Enjoying both tunes. Thanks for the coverville tip too; btwóa cover version of The Who’s My Generation is on there and it’s hilarious. It rocks!
if i remember correctly, green day does a great cover of the who’s “my generation”
