Lol Uptown Girl will always remind me of Homer. Also know that bit of trivia I somehow found more hate for it. It's not a bad cover but it's a pale imitation of a great like Frankie Valli.

I can't stand the Grateful Dead. There isn't enough LSD in the world to get me through one of their interminably masturbatory live albums. It's always amusing to watch my Deadhead friends get their panties in a bunch when I say things like that. And some of your other Deadhead friends are completely mellow about your musical tastes. I've already got my tickets for Dead & Company in Portland in late July. There's very little music that I actively dislike, so it's hard to say whether I'm out of step. But I do get some odd looks when I tell people that my favorite bands are the Grateful Dead, the Count Basie Orchestra, and the Meters.

The sad thing is that 'Uptown Girl' is an original song, just made to sound like a Frankie Valli song. At least it's still much easier to stomach than the god awful Westlife cover from the early 2000s. Also, I don't really mind Starship, but whenever I hear them on the radio I'm reminded that I could be listening to a Jefferson Airplane song instead.

There's going to be a Tetris movie.

I really hope they will cast convincing actors in the roles of T-shaped block and L-shaped block. Those are my favourite characters.

As long as you don't tell me someone covered December, 1963 I think I can contain my rage. :-) I like some of both of bands (or were they just renamed), but I think I know more from Starship, as I want to think they were still playing in the 80's. Like there's a really specific sappy love song they sing ala REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight this Feeling", that probably makes Dan's skin crawl and wish for earplugs. But at the moment I cannot think of the name of it.

Starship's low point is generally considered to be "We Built This City." It's ... remarkable. In the same sense, I suppose, that ebola is remarkable.

I'm amazed. You're only the second person I have ever known who is aware that Sparks even exist (the other's my dad, but because of his profession, that wasn't surprising to me at all). Add another one here - as Confessor said, they were (briefly) huge in the UK
