I don't even know if I'd like it if I saw it for the first time now.  It's
really been recycled and ripped off so many times that it's hard to see it
for what it was at the time.  It still works completely for me.  I guess a
comparable question would be, what do Franz Ferdinand fans think the first
time they hear MARQUEE MOON, or ENTERTAINMENT?

I would just like the cover not to have "cheap price cuz we don't give a
shit about this artist" literally stencilled onto it, for a start.  However,
at least it has all the songs played all the way through, unlike the CD of
"Cover" (spits on ground).

Yes!  And it still sound better than Lou Reed's singing on the Velvets
reunion record.

I must say I enjoy beer-fueled posts a lot.  Or as my daughter would say, a
lot a lot a lot!
