(TV) OT: Greil Marcus' Real Life Top 10 this week....

["Philip P. Obbard" <pobbard@yahoo.com>]

>From http://www.salon.com/ent/col/marc/2001/11/26/marcus58/index.html :

1) Strokes, "Is This It" (RCA) 
Fast, expert, hanging-out sounds from a young New York five-piece with a guru
-- not the so-named older guy with the comb-over pictured with the band on the
insert, but, wow, Lou Reed. Julian Casablanca's vocals may be filtered so that
their tinny sound matches the group's skinny-tie beat, but that doesn't save
the Strokes' "Modern Age" from dissolving back into the Velvet Underground's
"Beginning to See the Light" -- and "Modern Age" is the best thing here. The
cover of the import version offers a white woman's naked ass cupped by a black
gloved hand: "So 1983," said one disappointed fan. 

9) Mick Jagger, "Goddess in the Doorway" (Virgin) 

Reviews are saying this isn't really terrible. It's really terrible.
