The late, great Lou Reed.

I’ve been working 12+ hour days the past couple weeks and am, admittedly, fried. It’s possible this relentless schedule and its resultant lack of sleep may have clouded my judgment lately. Or, at least the illustrious Professor RT Hunter was might’ly displeased with yours truly for that previous Cover Song premiere post - “No more Pet Shop Boys” Period.

Where was my mind…?

So I’m just going to go ahead and run Tass Cover Song du Jour past a focus group, OK. You know, bullet out some top-level talking points, shoot out a few emails with action items and asks (maybe whip up a PowerPoint, mkay) and see where we net out going forward, alright? Great. Good talk. And now, I’m going to drink some coffee and watch this…

Was reading some posts I’d missed over at Pizza Teen! and came across these vids of good ol’ Noel Gallagher waxing poetic on the Smiths and his top 10 love/hates. Made me remember this gem over on mtvU.com…

A few from the old geezers themselves:

Here’s an idea… if you wind up lolling in Williamsburg on Saturday, April 19th, go pick up the new Stephen Malkmus 10″ at Sound Fix then chill with a Lapsang Souchong or $2 PBR in their comfy back lounge. It’ll put some good tunes on your turntable and support a worthwhile cause.

Comeback chavos Soda Stereo give a new wave nod to Talking Heads and the best cartoons you never saw on Television.  Escucha — just because you are a reggaeton adicto, don’t mean you can’t put the Daddy Yankee discos en pausa and pay tribute to an eighties pop life.     PS. Top This.
