As an OT sort of thing I have recently acquired a copy of the 28 demo tracks
PF did for The Wall in 1978. The difference between these and the finished
article is interesting and disturbing (because some of them are really not
good), though not as disturbing as the Scissor Sisters.

I still don't get what's so _wrong_ with the Scissor Sisters version.

The whole concept of a Supertramp/Steely Dan disco group, that troubles
me. But the cover is actually quite good, and reinvents the song nicely.

Busted? Wrong comparison.

Try the Village People covering Ace of Spades. Or The Darkness covering
I Will Survive.

Now do you understand? It's not about copying, it's about reinventing.

I think Steps have pushed the envelope quite far enough. It's only
right they should have split to pursue new artistic challenges.

These all pale into insignificance when compared to Rolf Harris covering
the Divinyls 'I touch myself'.

How could he point in the general direction of his best friend?
His hand is his best friend.

Cliff has been celibate since about 1973. He wouldn't dare touch it - the
back pressure would bow the end off his knob.

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "platypus" <platypus@ukrm.org>
saying something like:
