Will it make my iPod? (volume 2)

Just in case you don't know who is....like fingernails on the chalkboard.

Why, why in the ever-loving cunt of god would you bother to defend yourself with this detritus? Y'know, just let it float. We are all far better off with our waffles and mango puree, all in all, don't you know?

As for me, a song that I can't get out of my head since 1975, when I first really got it. And this is the best, most unadorned version for y'all to lick up:

3) Across the Universe - John Lennon (sure, Beatles, but this is Lennon)

With lyrics like,

"The first time that I met her
I was convinced I had finally found the one
She was convinced I was under the influence
Of all those drunken romantics
I was reading Fante at the the time
I had Bukowski on my mind"

It's a great song.

2) James Carr -
BONUS: Gram Parsons - unfortunately a truncated version that rudely interrupts the James Burton guitar solo and shortens the final chorus. still a great song.

Even though it's about Edie Sedgwick, after watching Grey Gardens, anytime I hear the name Edie, it will remind me of Edie Beale.

Still feeling aggro, maybe my favorite music video ever. But that's probably cause I was at both gigs(The tunnel in OC, and the former Palace in Hollywood) and the video shoot(Golf N' Stuff in Norwalk, Ca) while they shot this video...

anyway,

New week:

1) Big Joe Williams - or Lightnin' Hopkins - or Ray Charles - or Them - Baby Please Don't Go (my favorite version)
or Aerosmith - or Muddy Waters - and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac -
 
I know, I know. This poor fellow's drug travails have turned him in to an Enquirer-footnote tragedy but there is talent buried under all that mess. A good album, Grace/Wastelands. Nice wink to Syd Barrett @ 0:20.

Awww, the song that introduced me to Buk, late since it was 1991(hey I was only 16 and living with ultra religious parents and trying to rebel!), but awesome all the same.

"I'm on my porch 'cause I lost my house key
Pick up my book I read Bukowski
Can I get another kiss from you
Kiss me right here on my tattoo"

Wait a minute, wait a minute - why would you add 1 to a random number? And who would wrap a random number in an integer function? It's redundant! It's also missing the int closing right parentheses. This code is a mess.

Ha - yeah, there was a fad of "judge" records in Jamaica that resurfaced every few years. So many good records came off that little island, man! It's crazy.
