Comment:

Well, I'm heading back to school today and need something to listen to en route. I figured this would do the trick; it's decent enough to drive to. I must say, maybe it's just me, but I think that Warren Zevon song is quite good. The issue I really want to deal with though is the band name "The Fall". If I want to start a band that plays only their songs, would I refer to my band as "A Fall cover band" or as "A The Fall cover band"? Seriously, this has been keeping me up nights. I tried to look at other bands...it would be "A Beatles cover band" and I think it would be "A Clash cover band", but I have no clue with regards to the Fall.

And I'll use the line "You'd refer to yourself as Pavement" right there, just so no one is tempted.

Is Stingo wandering around wet-headed in the cold while you lollygag en route, lietening to this mix and vexing your brain with your Fall/The Fall dilemma?

Well maybe if Stingo cut his hair it wouldn't be a problem. He's getting kind of shaggy. Like a dog, one might say. Don't worry though, I'll make sure he doesn't come down with pneumonia.
