...the latest tribute single by Elton "Eulogy" John hopefully. (Where were *you* when JFK Jr. was presumed dead?) First, any listees that see the Lucksmiths, could you post some reviews? I'd love to hear about what's going on with our beloved Aussie threesome. I hear they really packed the Poetry Cafe in London...the word was "sweat" by those who attended. Is that dope enough? Indeed. Secondly, I don't think I'm going to make it for the Looper show this Wednesday here in Philly. Can't be bothered. Don't have the album, don't like it enough to go or buy it, and plus there are tons of other shows to see on a shoestring budget...Ladybug Transistor/Beulah/Apples in Stereo at Nick's on Thursday, the DJ Franco-powered "Foxy Cat" dance night at Silk City on Friday, and the Magnetic Fields at the Black Cat in DC on Saturday. Whew! If any of y'all want to say hey, I'll be there with my girlfriend Adela, she'll be the tall blond one who could pass for Isobel's more glamorous sister (you'd never catch her wearing Birkenstocks with socks I'll tell ya that much!), no kiddin'. Thirdly, Big Stu asked if I (well not specifically me but I'll take up the gauntlet) would've liked "ER" done by another band. The answer is yes, esp. if it were New Order. It'd probably have bigger drums, a good Hooky bass lead, and the lyrics would be almost silly enough to be believably sung (and created) by Barney himself. I've gone ahead and declared myself to be Elton John's new lyrical partner, so here's a rough draft. Sorry Bernie, maybe next one. "Goodbye Yankee Prince" (Kim/John) Goodbye Yankee Prince Of Camelot and Editor of _George_ Brother to Caroline And son of Jackie O.-- And John Fitzgerald Kennedy Oh, the press still hounded you Not because you failed the bar But you shared your daddy's name Da da da, dee dee dee and whatever the hell else you want to put in there.
