Have you heard the "Mink Rat or Rabbit" lineup of the Detroit Cobras? Like the second disc of the Dirtbombs' "If you don't already have a look", there ain't nothing original about the tunes on it, but at least that's on purpose in those cases. And that lineup rocked. As for Skinny Minnies and when to panic, though, a good rule of thumb is, if you see an adult as skinny as that girl in Tiny Masters of Today was in their vids, consider storming the stage and performing an intervention. (Come to think of it, with the notable exception of a figure, that TMoT kid had a little bit of Keely Smith, the deadpan ham, in her.) (Ever seen that Louis Prima special on PBS? Love that Keely....)

Have you heard the "Mink Rat or Rabbit" lineup of the Detroit Cobras?
I have liked everything I've heard from the DCs. Factoid: my drummer played with them on their last tour.

Paula, I hope you have some better Fall songs on your iPod, because I can't think of a worse one than "Ride Away" (altho that would've been a funny answer to the question "What do you think when you see the person you love?")
-------------------------------
Paula - 2008-12-17 16:46:00
I have really missed the Fall train. I only have Fall in a Hole and Fall Heads Roll in my collection.

Well, I [sniff] don't have a pod, so I took my list of the 97 mixes I left at a municipal skatepark, (that I get to throw on a six thousand dollar sound system there that actually sounds pretty good, which all seems kinda strange), and googled a true "random number generator" to get REALLY random, (though only two answers seemed all that random), and here's what I done got. How I'd describe myself: "Burning Sky" (The Jam) // What I like in a woman: "Sleeping in Blood City" (The Gun Club) // How I feel today: "Monkey Spanner" (Dave and Ansel Collins) // My life's purpose: "Two Swords" (the english beat) [this is beginning to sound like I've got something to do with a traditionally gay military, a la "Turning Japanese"] ...and... // My motto: "Long Tall Sally" (Wanda Jackson) [and how strange is it that her "Fujiyama Momma" was a #1 hit in Japan in the fifties, given its threats about Nagasaki and Hiroshima?] // What my friends think of me: "Let's Go Away" (The Wipers) // What my parents think about me: "Eve Future" (The Mekons) ["another white belly up"?] // What I think of my best friend: "Consolation Prizes" (Iggy Pop) [makes sense in that she used to be a girlfriend] // What I think of the person I love: "That's Entertainment" (The Jam) // What my life story is: "The Prince" (Madness) [title or artist?] // What I want to be when I grow up: "Art Groupie" (Grace Jones) [less title than artist, here] // What I think when I see the person I love: "Beyond the Law" (Iggy Pop) // What I will dance to at my wedding: "What Gives?" (Radio Birdman) // My favorite hobby: "Soul Growl" (Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra) // My biggest fear: "Just Like Arcadia" (Psychic TV) [c'mon, Arcadia - 50 miles east of New College - is a nice little town] // My biggest secret: "Paper Planes" (M.I.A.) [I don't get it] // What I think of my friends: "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" (Lester Flatts).

Well, thanks, but I think Lou Reed said it best when he warbled, "First thing you learn is that you always have to wait." Just sayin'.
-------------------------------
Paula - 2008-12-18 19:10:33
As Mr Tom Petty once observed, the waiting can ofttimes be the hardest part, but as Mr Paul Westerberg opined, I ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky.
