A few weeks back, I actually caught some of 120 Minutes on MTV, and found my self actually intrigued/enthused by the 3 videos I did catch (one, of course, was the new Sparklehorse). The other 2 artists, (I actually wrote their names down to look into) were Fatboy Slim - "Praise You" and Eminem. Now, I hadn't heard either name for at least 2 weeks, then, all of a sudden I'm hearing both of them....And just last week, I heard that Fatboy Slim is actually a former Housemartin (Norman Cook?), which caught my attention as well (since I've always liked the Housemartins...and thought the Beautiful South was "ok", but never got into "Beats Int'l) Honestly, I doubt I can be sold on the Eminem camp, however, I've noticed jdiva "np'ing" the disc a few times. Fatboy Slim, now there's a different story. Regarding CAKE: I've always enjoyed their radio songs to a point where I'm not sick of hearing them when they are played (maybe because they don't get too much play (or overplayed) around these parts...at least not on the stations I listen to). Although, not on my "short wantlist", I may have to add their name onto my "need to look into" list...thanks Neal. "Jet" covers reminds me of this Jellyfish disc I have where they do "Jet", "Let 'Em In" and "No Matter What" (Badfinger) live. I believe the "Jet" cover is intro'd with "This is the sexiest song ever written"...and then the singer goes on to say, "I think you know what 'Jet' really means..." Ok, I lied, there's no twang in this post. Paul np: Bangles - September Gurls
