Otis, the Arctic Monkeys sound pretty good to me, but I don't think 'mardy' will be entering my vocabulary any time soon, altho' I think I've been mardy at least once. I'm still figuring out 'lairy' from the Kaiser Chiefs.
A Song For Sorry Angel - Franz Ferdinand with ... Jane Birkin
From the up-coming album of Serge Gainsbourg's covers by the likes of Jarvis Cocker, Cat Power, Franz Ferdinand, Portishead, Michael Stipe, Tricky, The Kills, Gonzales and The Rakes.
If you don't know what is wrong with me
Then you don't know what you've missed
Not an expert on Monsieur Gainsbourg, but I liked the FF-covered song. Pretty rocking !
And Cat Power's "I Love You" (famous Je T'Aime) is great, too (though I might be biased as I like her latest album very much).
I haven't heard anything else from the album.
If you don't know what is wrong with me
Then you don't know what you've missed
which is as fine as any Beatles record! Each track a classic, a SMM fave if I recall correctly ?
echos myron like a siren
with endurance like the liberty bell
and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
and he'd like to lift us up, but we're a very heavy load
Excellent choices Mr. Boom - both of them. I might have even been a bit timid about posting the ELO becaue I love them so, so thank you for doing it. I still remember buying the purple 45 of Telephone Line (I think that was the right one, I keep getting older so I keep forgetting things. . .)
Its not often you get every track on an album being a winner but "A New World Record" is one of them, its really stood the test of time, and even the hits , like "Telephone Line" and "Livin Thing" sound great still, despite being so familiar - ahh the days of colored vinyl!

And let's not forget "...as I catch falling cans of baked beans on toast. Technology is the most".
I've spent a week in the car with The Jam at the BBC and The Style Council In Concert.
The Jam CD is superb and I was reminded about what a brave decision it was by Paul Weller to split up The Jam to make such different music with The Style Council.
I've also been listening to the 3CD Sex Pistols Boxset which is a bit much of pretty much the same stuff. However if you just listen to one disc in isolation it's excellent.

Nigga the mission's to get what you don't got
The struggle it don't stop, until we drop

Krayzie Bone and Ice Cube..
The best thing in life in life is life (uh-huh, uh-huh)
Get your mind right, and get your grind right (we gotta keep goin)

Get your mind right, and get your grind right

Look into my eyes if you wanna know me
Before you hypnotized, homey what do you see
A figure that's just a little bigger than dealers
A hustler countin figures ain't pulled no triggers
Can you dig us, we be the ultimate lick
We's the hitters, that make the ultimate hits
Kinda floss-ey, kinda boss-ey
It's gotta be done my way, do what the {fuck} I say
Top of the pyramid, homey what I tell you
If you leave this Westside umbrella you hit the cellar
Bring me my slippers, black robe, and my globe
and I could rule the world with my eyes closed
(with my eyes closed..)
[Chorus: Krayzie Bone]
See the mission's to get what we don't got
until we filthy rich and on top --
-- you betta go get it, it's yours
Nigga the mission's to get what you don't got
The struggle it don't stop until we drop

To all the little homies that's watchin TV
I see you tryin to be a O.G. like me
Chasin dreams, pullin mo' schemes for wealth
But the best thing in life is health, be yourself playa
Television it'll keep yo' ass wishin forever
You'll never get you life together
Don't talk about death, I got too much life to live
Too many orders to give -- what it is, showbiz
Taught you what a trick and a hoe is (WHAT?)
Showed you what a Six-ty Fo' is (WHAT?)
Lord knows, "In God We Trust"
and everybody in the world wanna be like us (everybody)
[Chorus]
[Ice Cube]
To the kids of the world that's waitin for wealth
Waitin for health, you better do for self
Homey that's yo' last cup
Forget about the fast buck; boy, get you ass up
People use yo' brain to gain
Do something that ain't never been done; and we can spend hun's
Wipe our ass with twenties, light our joints with ones
Throw away the guns, have nuttin but fun
And homey we could do that {shit}!
Police have a fit, when yo' paper's legit
We gotta get off the phone, we gotta teach our own
Send your baby to school and she'll come back grown
We got to talk to our grandma's
And she'll help us throught them dark halls, and them pitfalls
Everybody know we got the world to gain
We got to stop the pain, lord stop the rain
[Chorus]
[Ice Cube]
Keep goin, little homey why you slowin?
Keep rollin, little homey why you slowin?
Keep rollin, little homey why you slowin?
Keep rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin
