1 Big Boys 125
2 This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb 59
3 Daniel Johnston 45
4 Atmosphere 26
5 The Holy Modal Rounders 21
6 Charge 20
7 Lion of Judah 17
8 Beastie Boys 10
9 Flogging Molly 9
10 The Specials 7

Thats quite a lot of Big Boys.

My chart for the week.

1 Frank Sinatra 84
2 Dean Martin 79
3 Coliseum 56
4 Sammy Davis, Jr. 52
5 Sleater-Kinney 41
6 Danny Elfman 33
6 Dean Martin & Frank Sinatra 33
8 Lovage 25
9 Faith No More 18
10 Solomon Burke 17

I actually thought I'd listened to more Rat Pack, but otherwise it's about what I expected. I like that all those Coliseum listens only took up about an hour and a half.

As for now, I'm listening to the Lovage record again, and liking it more and more each time I do. It's so over the top, in it's own way. Might have to check out Jennifer Charles (Elysian Fields, I think?) a bit.

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]8 My Disco 17[/QUOTE]

10 Wheel That Giant Potato Salad Bowl Over Here, Earl 7

Overall I'd say it's been a week full of fake bands and I don't actually have a last.fm thing but I just want to see if anyone reads this crap because I really don't.

Little Man being Erased 02-20-2006 03:26 PM

Wheel That Giant Potato Salad Bowl Over Here, Earl are awesome.

YDload 02-20-2006 03:30 PM

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Wheel That Giant Potato Salad Bowl Over Here, Earl are awesome.[/QUOTE]

They're alright I guess. I mean, the [i]Chicks with Bricks[/i] EP was amazing, but their follow up album [i]Stab Me One For the Prussians[/i] was kind of lackluster. I just wish they didn't have so many filler tracks dealing with the Whiskey Rebellion, but what can you do?

Little Man being Erased 02-20-2006 03:39 PM

I dunno man, I really kind of enjoyed [I]Stab Me One For the Prussians[/I]. But I guess my favourite release of theirs is the early [I]underground[/I] demo that they recorded in the bomb shelter under the drummer's barn. It's called [I]Bats Flying North-West[/I]. Keep an eye out for it.

okay i am going to have to call bullsh[size=2]it[/size] on that one. everyone knows Marion Coriander doesn't have a bomb shelter under his barn. that's just an urban legend :rolleyes:

he actually uses the space for a hyperbaric chamber that he sleeps in to maintain his youthful vigor and the stamina he needs to play songs like "Whatever Melons May Reign on Earth, I Know Honeydew Is Waiting For Me In Heaven."

Actually, now that you mention it, that does seem plausible. After all, the guys are pushing 40 these days. And "Whatever Melons May Reign on Earth, I Know Honeydew Is Waiting For Me In Heaven" takes a fair bit of stamina to pull off. My band used to cover that song, but our drummer couldn't handle it, so we had to stop.

Now we just play a wicked cover of "The Night the Evil Frost Came and Stole Our Entire Eggplant Crop."

Zappa 02-20-2006 04:03 PM
