    Well, I liked the Tom Waits to the tune of about 9.8/10.

    Papayahead - was that intended to be a two second line of dialogue - cos that's what I got.

    While we're talking about the real talent in the Velvets - Mr Cale.

    NO! That was something completely different.

    Good call. Love this song. 8.75/10

    6/10 for hanky panky.

    Oh, I love that song, I think I gave it a 5 out of 5 on iTunes. I'm not sure it's a 10 out of 10 though...maybe a 9/10.

    feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
    porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
    but weighty and unmovable
    As black Dakota hills.

    I dunno - I just think there's something unconvincing about The Cowboy Junkies. It all seems so...calculated. 4/10


    Meanwhile....a live version I hadn't heard before.

    I've never heard of George Lowell before, I'll have to Napster him. 8/10


    I first heard this on Weeds:

    Little Boxes is redolent of my childhood - my dad used to sing it around the house, and it still runs through my head whenever I look out of a train window and see a new housing estate. As social satire goes, the song's pretty trite, but Malvina is engaging just because she's so incongruous. 6/10


    And now - the first band to excite me since about 1985.

    A good song -7/10

    Something different. Poseurs, but the music stayed with me.

    6/10 - I was waiting for a fast part, although the main guy has a good voice. I like party music better.

    Even if you don't like it, you've got to admit it is cute.
    They need food, but they are cute.
    For I have known them all already, known them all:
    Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
    I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
    I know the voices dying with a dying fall
    Beneath the music from a farther room.

    So how should I presume?

    No I don't like it much. Cute no. 4/10

    I think my kids would like it though. They are into Japanese culture.

    Now one of my favorite covers, to much noise. 6.5/10

    (MB - Good description of Malivina, I think that's why I like her)

    This is one of my favorite covers:

    I'll have to give that a few more listens. I was a bit stunned by her hair, so I wasn't concentrating. A provisional 7/10.


    As we're on an eighties kick, this is the band that excited me then, who turned out to be the last until the emergence of the Arctic Monkeys.
