NMT 96
Ok, I get it if you're an actress or trying to be in a public position, then I understand the fake boobs. But, when you're a Legal Secretary, for a governmental litigation firm (little or no courtroom action) in a out of the way shithole town: that's just a chasm of insecurity no amount of silicone can fill. Nice lady though.
Our pick this week is a little odd. Well, odd in the fact that it's older, but I wanted to talk about something. I was in Publix today and as I was checking out, I heard a cover of this song in the store. Instantly recognizable and I think it was by Jesse Malin. Not sure who that is, but it's unimportant.
This is one of my favorite songs and is a classic. It's something my dad would have listened too (that's not a negative) and it reminds me of when I was Ben's age. When I heard the cover version it struck me because it was sort of a country-rock rendition and it totally lacked any of the soul and passion of the original. Now, I'm not one to think the cover should be a spot on of the original, that's not the point, but at least have something behind it. It's very, I don't know, flat. Listening to a sample of it, I think it's the drums (there are none on the original) they just sort of make it plod along.
It really has that whole (new) Country music plastic feel to it. I don't think he's even that type of artist and he may be very good otherwise, but his version of this didn't do it for me. Get on iTunes or whatever and listen to it. You'll see.
So, here's the original in all it's passionate glory. Also, this song also reminds you of how different things were. Phone calls haven't been a dime for a thousand years and when was the last time you actually saw a phone booth, much less someone using one. Plus, I think we've all been like this (Not LRHG, but the rest of us) where we've tried to play it off, I'm over it, I was never in love with them, etc, but everyone else sees right through your bullshit. Even you.
So, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (I knew something good had to come out of there):
Jim Croce - "Operator (that's not the way it feels):
Bonus Tracks:
This comes out a week from today, but I feel like listening to it today.
Our Lady Peace - "All you did was save my life":
I know, not any of yours' favorite, but I do enjoy her and find her physically appealing in a strange sort of way. And bouncy houses are always fun.
PJ Harvey - "Black Hearted Love":

So the first 2 choices were great. Just not much of a PJ fan. Great to hear/see OLP coming back. Been a while since we've gotten much from these guys.
PS Hannah - he is HOT!
AND wear a super trendy dress. Cause EVERYONE loves it when she does that.
I think she should "pin her hair p again. ;) hehe
