the champagne of music links, but the milwaukee's best of football advice...

I dropped the ball this week with my legal advice, but hopefully this will make up for it.

Alright, I am really getting sick of the "ironic cover" (I am looking at you Postal Service) and need some new original stuff. Can anyone tell me that William Shatner's cover of "Common People" is actually listenable? So over the next couple of months be sure to pay attention to a lot of great records coming out.

Here are some tastes:

Tom Waits - "How's it Gonna End" from his forthcoming Real Gone.

Elliott Smith - "Twilight" - from the posthumous From a Basement on a Hill.

Frank Black - "Cactus" - cover of his own Pixies song from his latest solowork Frank Black Francis.

Oh, and after a dismal two weeks, the Packers are taking the Giants down.

[whoa highlife, that's a little over the top of you ask me. god loving and grocery bagging quarterback kurt warner is going to torch that crappy packer secondary and brett favre is throwing a couple of picks. so sayeth fredeeky.]
