Or just the Laura Nyro original.

ABBA - Knowing Me Knowing You

Perhaps, but I feel like there are interesting things people could do it - or if nothing else, lay down some drum/guitar/whatever else solos.

The Monkees - Pleasant Valley Sunday

I think they already did "Babies" though.

Martha & The Muffins - Echo Beach

Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit

Underworld - Born Slippy

The Aristocrats!

Where's Leia, String? Where the fuck is Leia?

Tales From Watership Down was undoubtedly my first lesson in never setting expectations too high for anything, and for distrust in sequels specifically.

I adore Fairport Convention's BBC sessions album, Heyday, which is almost all covers.

I'm enjoying this playlist, so thanks!

Newman's Own Caesar dressing used to have Caesar saying "Don't dilute us, Brutus", which I always liked as a kid.

I'm keeping an eye out for a good gag, but there's no punchline on the horizon.

I've boiled my ABBA down to a 2-CD set - one containing Super Troupers and The Visitors, minus "The Way Old Friends Do" cause it didn't fit and that song blows, and one with a mix of everything else. Among other things, they had a handful of awesome non-album B-sides ("Cassandra", "Should I Laugh or Cry", "Lovelight".

Judging based on technical proficiency is not the way to enjoy conceptual, participatory art. If it makes you think a bit it's probably done its job.

Nico's keyboard player, James Young, wrote a book about her late years that's one of the better rock biography-memoir-etc. books I've read. I'm sort of assuming this is at least partly based on it, in which case I'll be interested in checking it out.

Xander was interested in any female that moved at the start. I buy that he's gotten over Buffy as a love interest by the end of the series.

Nice fellow, but fairly boring character. I think if we'd gotten about half as much of him, or if his relationships with other Buffy characters had been more interesting, it would have been fine.
