Picture Me Rollin'
You may notice that I put up a pic on my profile... (look right... see me? Good).
I decided that I was way too pretty to be hidden any longer... heh... yeah, right.
Anyways, I REALLY need to get a new digital camera so I can put more pics up. My blog is way to wordy as of late and who really wants to read.
Random song that I can't get out of my head...
"Black Steel - In the Hour of Chaos" - Public Enemy
"I got a letter from the government/the other day/I opened and read it/they said they were suckas/they wanted me for their army or whatever/picture me givin a damn I said never"
Tricky actually does a great cover of this song too... He gave it a completely different vibe which, after all is the point of a cover song. I hate it when people karaoke other peoples songs (case in point, Baby Spice's cover of "What I Am" I couldn't tell it apart from the original).
Best Covers, in no particular order:
1) "Gimmie Shelter" by the Rolling Stones, as covered by the Sisters of Mercy
2) "Like a Prayer" by Madonna, as covered by BiGod 20
3) "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gannor, as coverd by Cake
4) “World In My Eyes” by Depeche Mode, as covered by the Cure
5) “Lovesong” by the Cure, as covered by 311
6) "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dillon, as covered by Jimi Hendrix
I’m sure I could think of more, but I gotta get running…

1) "Gimmie Shelter" by the Rolling Stones, as covered by the Sisters of Mercy
It's like this song was written for the sisters to do. Much darker and moodier than the original, which is saying something.
2) "Like a Prayer" by Madonna, as covered by BiGod 20
There need to be more industrial covers of Madonna songs
3) "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gannor, as coverd by Cake
Turned it to a male perspective and made it ALOT more edgier
4) “World In My Eyes” by Depeche Mode, as covered by the Cure
The CuRe covering a DM song… does it get better than that?
5) “Lovesong” by the Cure, as covered by 311
One of my fav songs of ALL TIME, so I had to put it on the list even though 311 didn’t really add much to it. Why screw with perfection anyway? ;)
6) "All Along the Watchtower" by Bob Dillon, as covered by Jimi Hendrix
Hendrix brought out the guitar line like only he could and really made this song his own.
I’m sure I could think of more, but I gotta get running…

Your picture is cute! As for cover songs...I knew you would enjoy that Tricky cover. Who knew you could make a 'dance' song from a P.E. song? I know you can dance to P.E. but...nevermind...it all makes me nostalgic for 80's politico dance music. I think I am going to make a dance music complication called Dance Music for Commies or Dance Music for Pinkos. Another great cover: Tower of Song (Leonard Cohen) covered by the Jesus and Mary Chain. OR, how about Tori's cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit. So sensitive and interpretive. Made everyone realize it was about more than just teen angst.
"Dance Music for Pinko's" HA!!
I was actually thinking of putting Smells Like Teen Spirit... Great cover and it makes it an even better song when you can understand what the words are.
Also need to add:
"Dead Souls" by Joy Division as covered by Nine Inch Nails.
"Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson as covered by Alien Ant Farm
There are others, feel free to add...
