exile in guyville was touted as a song for song response to the stones "exile on main st". Being a big stones fan, I bought EIG, and I was very..very disappointed

Watch this. It's a cover of the Rolling Stones "Satisfaction" - simulataneously hilarious, creepy and completely awesome!

oh, gosh. i wouldn't listen to that album in that way at all. no wonder you didn't like it.

Anx said:

I'll give it another listen, but that's how the critics reviewed (raved!!) it..

Anx said:

I think "Whip Smart" doesn't get enough credit. "Exile" is so long and sprawling and made such a big splash that I think "Whip Smart" got lost in the shuffle. Their sound, attitude and ethic are nearly identical. "Whip Smart" is just a tad snazzier.

Anx said:

She used that as a loose concept, but the style and presentation of it is nothing like the Stones.

If you can listen to it for what it is, it's undeniably brilliant songwriting.

GangstaFam said:

That was incredible. I'm not lying when I say watching that for the first time just now brought tears to my eyes.

I love you!

Bjork recording PJ slamming her head against the wall.

GangstaFam said:

wow...what an amazing version..thanks for sharing the info

GangstaFam said:

I mean, other than the Q photo shoot, I've never even seen Björk and PJ in the same room together, much less perform together. That was heavenly.

I can't help but think that if that duet happened today, their roles would be reversed.

no Kristin Hersh, Tanya Donnelly, Kim Deal or even Lisa germano but Sarah McLachlan?

heck,marianne faithfull (post-comeback) is more alternative than sloppy mclala.

sextonseven said:

When I first met Bjork, we actually talked quite a bit about PJ. You can tell they really love each other.

And how do you mean about the role reversal thing?

Anx said:

I love your name switcheroos.

GangstaFam said:

That "song" is still hilarious no matter how many times I listen to it. I'm going to see Rasputina next month in Brooklyn. I wonder why they've never performed that track live?

sextonseven said:

I imagine it was a total one-off. Do they have any other songs like it?

GangstaFam said:

Björk seems to be following PJ's lead in that performance. So much has happened to Björk since then (like her entire solo career) that I would think she would be the more dominant one now.

sextonseven said:

Yeah, I can see that. But I think they did it perfectly.

Bjork took a back seat until the end, and then she totally ripped it.

Did you notice that the organ/synth sounds are nearly identical to those in "Enjoy"? I wonder if she was already working on that song.

GangstaFam said:

Rasputina is basically lead celloist Melora Creager and she's a real character. There have a few more funny skits, but that's the only one about celebrities.

GangstaFam said:

Yes, it was perfect they way it was. Didn't really hear the organ sounds that much--too focused on PJ's guitar playing.

And I totally glossed over the fact that you met Björk. Lucky you!

sextonseven said:

3 times.


And I adore PJ's playing. I don't aim to copy anybody, but if I had to compare my own guitar style to someone's it would be PJ's.

Sarah McGlaughlin does not belong on that list! And I have a major problem with the #1 contender I'd even put Tori ahead of her!!

What would your top 5 be?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

i have a list with sloven macmuffin's name on it, and it's not a christmas card list!

Anx said:

They just keep getting better!

GangstaFam said:

Can't believe she was on that list

why isn't morrissey on this list?

weepingwall said:

because he's not a woman.
