So, I’m driving back from the land of Vomitola (A.K.A. Lowell, A.K.A. “Factory town turned loft-condo-ville”) and I heard Something for the Weekend by the Super Furry Animals playing on WMBR (one of two good music stations in Boston– the other being WERS). I’m pretty sure I’d heard the song before, but I hadn’t known the title or the name of the band– I thought Super Furry Animals were some kind of jam band or something, but no. So, I found a song I like by listening to the radio. How long has it been since that happened to you?
So anyway I go to look up the name of the song to check the lyrics and come across violent slash fiction apparently related to a BBC TV show of the same name. EW EW EW EW.
And then the next day, at the gym, the Alien Ant Farm cover of Smooth Criminal came on the sports-club Muzak. It’s a good cover and a brilliant video and hey that’s fun. Nice work, boys.
