Some of these are hilarious. Great parody of “jazz dance” beginning at 12:40.

Catchy
This album had a few more good ones. Don’t know what became of these guys. Apparently they made this album, toured, then parted ways. Nothing like touring to turn people against each other.
Alice Cooper, Power Popper
You never hear Alice Cooper mentioned as a power pop pioneer, but this song from ’73 checks all the boxes. AC has said that they were copying Substitute by The Who, and you can certainly hear that in the guitar intro. More interesting (to me, anyway) is that the the beginning of the verses are very close to the verses of Let’s Spend the Night Together by the Rolling Stones. Creative theft at its best.
Don’t Say The C-Word To Elvis
Nice article on Elvis Costello and his current health over at the Beast.
Most surprising item: His mother is still alive!
Are You Talkin’ To Me?
Another Song I Wish I’d Written
Killer chorus, and that bridge is fucking sublime.
No Comment, Just Putting It Out There…
And The Nominees Are…
The 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees just came out. Makerbot will be happy to know that Devo made the list for the first time. Radiohead, The Cure, Kraftwerk, LL Cool J, Janet Jackson, Rage Against the Machine, and several others made the list as well. I was a little surprised to see John Prine’s name on there. Here’s more information and all the people that made the list
You can vote for your favorites here.
Only one vote per day though.
What say ye bastards? Who do you think gets in, and does it even matter….

Very funny, and very much NSFW.
From Our RoboCop Remake, a project undertaken by a group of filmmakers pissed off about the 2014 RoboCop remake …
Our RoboCop Remake is a crowd-sourced feature based on the 1987 Paul Verhoeven movie. Pooling our resources through various filmmaking channels (including Channel 101) we are 50 filmmakers (amateur and professional) from Los Angeles and New York who have split the original RoboCop into individual chunks, remaking the movie ourselves. Not necessarily a shot-for-shot remake, but a scene-for-scene recreation. We’re big fans of the original RoboCop, and as filmmakers and film fans kinda rolling our eyes at the Hollywood remake machine, we’ve elected to do this remake thing our own way.
Our RoboCop Remake premiered in Los Angeles on January 26th 2014 and New York on February 5th. On February 6th, it was released online.
Because if anyone is going to ruin RoboCop, it’s us.
