Bangles doing Big Star

the first time i ever heard "September Gurls" (aka one of my favorite songs ever that misspells the word girl) was when the Bangles did a cover version of it when i was a kid. and now i share that version with you.


i still would totally do it with Susanna Hoffs.

Goodbye Michael.

my childhood died today.

for all my love of Iggy Pop and Kurt Cobain, it was Michael Jackson that was my first true love. THRILLER was my first record and i listened to it constantly. whenever MJ's videos would come on MTV i would get up and act them out in my living room and entertain my parents. i was even the werewolf Michael turns into in the "Thriller" video for Halloween when i was 6. he may have been a kiddie touching freak show with bad plastic surgery and a kid named Blanket...but goddamn it he was still awesome when i was a little boy.

it's too bad he and Paul never got a chance to patch things up.
