Someone covered a Mojo Nixon song?!? Wow...

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

Well, the Pleasure Barons are Mojo Nixon, 'Country' Dick Montana and Dave Alvin, so I don't know if it counts as a cover or not.
They also recorded Elvis is EveryWhere and Lousiana Liplock, as well as one of my favorite versions of 'Jackson'.

Ok, no, that's not a cover if there's actual Mojo in it. I'd only heard his name solo. I'm somewhat embarrassed now...

No need to be. It was a kind of a special one-off gig, and it was fifteen years ago. The only reason I knew about it was because we got a copy of the CD at the radio station. So I hunted down a copy of my own at Happy Trails.

I was gonna say... I saw that track and immediately flashed back to KBVR days. :-)

Someday I've gotta take all those cassettes, digitize them, and make an "Axolotl Flashback" podcast or something.

I realize that this question marks my "newbie" status as Cyrano-friend, but I'm curious - what's the idea, exactly, behind "Top of the Pops"? I assume that it's the songs you've listened to the most in the past week, though I could be wrong...is it a means of communicating your state of mind, or something else?

Yay making fun of the newbie!
But cereal, now. Back when "IFAMAQ!D" went on hiatus, I introduced Monday morning 'Top of the Pops', which was 'what are the next ten songs on random shuffle on my desktop playlist?' There's no editing for embarassing songs or other reasons, and there's no hidden message to it. Most of the hidden messages show up in the lyrics that I choose as subject lines on my posts.
