OK. One more. The Gaye/Terrell version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is a favorite, but the Inner Life version, particularly the Larry Levan mix, is even better?

Heavy metal idiot. Ex-Stereogum's Black Market. Ex-Invisible Oranges. Ex-Last Rites. Ex-many publications I don't remember. I produced a podcast you've heard. I've written a bunch of stuff you haven't read. https://linktr.ee/wrambatz

04.11.2025 22:29 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Oh, you know what? "Everybody Wants To Rule The World." All-timer song. I think I like the Ted Leo version for AV Undercover just a smidgen more some days.
Anyway, this was fun to think about instead of working.
Etta James's "You Can Leave Your Hat On" smokes both the Randy Newman and Joe Cocker versions.

04.11.2025 21:40 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Hmmmmm. Struggling to think of all-timers getting eclipsed, but definitely think Jawbox's "Cornflake Girl" and Pig Destroyer's "In the Meantime" are better than the OGs, and I love the OGs.

Hereโs footage of our drummer Steve absolutely destroying our set less than 24 hours after seriously spraining his ankle. Had to take him to the emergency room in Bratislava the prior night, thinking heโd broken it. Dude is an unstoppable force of nature
