(Imagine what I could do with this brain if it wasn't filled with dubiously accurate song lyrics.)
What are you implying?

Thanks all for the Darcy clips. I never knew.
The Jolene cover has just gone international :-)

[I] used to crash parties and Maseratis.
Surely one of the greatest rhymes in the history of Pop.
Not just for the linguistic trickery, which is delightful, but also for the vividness of the imagery in such a succint phrase; the sort of person who would not only find themselves in the position of driving - and then doing so so recklessly as to crash - a (presumably, someone else's) Maserati, but could then weasel their way behind the wheel of another one, and then crash that, too!
I'm thrown back to memories of a few people I knew years ago who would totally do that sort of thing and if I took a whole paragragh, I doubt I could describe them better.

Was Lawrence Arabia not eligible? I really am digging his Chant Darling album.

Yeah, he was eligible -- you didn't read the post!
But stay tuned for Lawrence-Arabia-and-Public-Address news ...

Still, I wish Ladyhawke aka Pip Brown all the very best (her singles are good revisionist fun), even if I wonder whether, rightly or wrongly, her international career may go the same way as the Datsuns- i.e. a brief, bright spark only to come crashing down when the press moves onto the next fad. She came accross as a top sort at the awards, though. Good for her.
You couldn't hold that against her. 90% of all artists in her position suffer this, especially in England. She's already achieved more than most (if I remember rightly, NME listed 3 or4 of her songs in their top 50 songs of 2008?).
They are good pop songs regardless of the 80's sound. Change the production and the songs would still work. -

Twas an Auckland phenomenon.

big black nemesis, parthenogenesis
Once lived in a room previously inhabited by Barry Andrews' toddler offspring who clearly inherited some talent.

Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone;
Cut your engines, cool your wings,
And let me make it to the telephone.Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia,
Tidewater four ten O nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'
And the poor boy's on the line
i crash parties and maseratis feels kind of.. like a broken line
compared to that which gave one the compulsion and purely rhythmic rationale to rhyme and get rhyming in the .. first place.. -
(and quite possibly related in its own rite
to 'i use tampons and crampons'
as performed by the incredible
chart-clawing kwi combo

<quote>This is all grist to my 'Dolly: She's So Underappreciated!' mill. (One of my ambitions is to go to Dollywood and buy ridiculous tchotchkes.</quote)>
A bit late on this one Danielle, but can I get a badge for the Dolly Appreciators Club too?
Apparently Dollywood takes on casual people to work there over summers.

Tempting, but I've got my heart set on a job at DobbynWorld when it opens.
Ideally, on the yacht racing ride (NZ *always* wins) or the Flood Rescue.
