this is probably old ground, but i'm still kinda new here. . . just picked up the burger/ink on matador. it's pretty nice, if a little subdued (i'm kinda ignorant of ink, but i know that this is something that should be expected with him). what i want to know is: what's up with the odd appropriated-seemingly-from-Roxy song titles? "avalon"? "love is the drug (paris texas)"? some of the titles are verbatim and some are a little different. as far as i can tell they aren't really covers either, or are they? if they are, then i have the curious disinction of having bought two "jealous guy" covers in quirly electronic style in the last month. on another roxy tip, i saw a tv commercial for a roxy/ferry compilation, which caught me off guard. the total package made it look like "body + soul" or "jock jams" any of the other cheesy comps sold on tv. weird to hear roxy/ferry songs hawked by the tv comp announer voice guy. -------------- 1642 try 621 --------------
