FT5: Reasons Not To Date A Musician

Barry: I wanna date a musician.
Rob: I wanna live with a musician. She’d write songs at home and ask me what I thought of them, and maybe even include one of our little private jokes in the liner notes.
Barry: Maybe a little picture of me in the liner notes.
Dick: Just in the background somewhere.
This is what we all think when we start to date a musician. We’ve all done it at one point in time… it’s hard not to date a musician in Austin. However, next time you’re presented with the opportunity to do so, keep this Friday’s Top Five in mind… (And yes, I did take these quotes from “High Fidelity,” and yes I do notice the obvious connection.

FT5: Cover Songs

January 2, 2009 -1893llzws 12 comments

“CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE!” Without those five words, Quiet Riot’s career would’ve lasted three months instead of thirty-four years. It’s a lowdown-dirty shame “Cum on feel the Noize” was actually a cover originally performed by an English glam rock band called Slade back in 1973. Woah…just felt like Matt Pinfield for a moment. This week’s edition of the Friday Top 5 is dedicated to the greatest cover songs of all-time…according to me, of course. Sadly, the following list does not include Limp Bizkit’s disturbing version of The Who’s “Behind Blue Eyes,” Michael Bolton’s take on Otis Redding, or anything off the I am Sam soundtrack. Follow the jump to see if your favorite cover song made the list.
