Notes this week:

• "Time Can Be Overcome" is 5 minutes and 44 seconds of perfection;
• All CD copies of Stardust should be destroyed, leaving only the vinyl in existence;
• How good is the new Teenage Head record you ask? So good I actually added a PS about it in a work email I was writing to the label head. That's how good. He assured me that they are just as good live now as they ever were. News like that makes me really happy;
• Joan Jett's cover of "Crimson & Clover" also makes me really happy. Still;
• Ah The Kinks. For some reason their "kickassitude" has been the subject of 3 separate conversations in the last 3 weeks. There has been great discussion about how they should have been The Rolling Stones if only they could have caught a break/got their shit together. Talk about the British invasion. I also readily admit that although "Come Dancing" is their standout cheesy 80's hit for the mainstream -- I still think it's a kick ass song and shouldn't be given such a hard time. If you can't have a dance party to that song than I question your ability to recognize good music.
