21Regis should have a picture somewhere of me at Emperor Norton's grave.Whose grave would you like to visit?
22MuHow would you move a mountain?
23I made a promise to myself long ago not to let the opinions of others be a deciding factor in the music I listen to. I had to clarify that to myself at one point that if something was really popular I wouldn't count that against it. It's a surprisingly difficult promise to keep.

My musical tastes have overlaps with the tastes of many of my friends, but few overall matches.
Do you like some type of music that most of your friends don't like?
24Other: I used to look a lot like Alan Ruck, the guy who played Cameron in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.Do you look like a famous person and/or know someone who looks like a famous person?
25Oh yeah, I've been told by a couple of people (before the movie) that I remind them of John Malkovich...

How could I forget that one?

26Perhaps it just looks like a famous survey...Do you look like a famous person and/or know someone who looks like a famous person?
27The only one I can put a current job to is Tony Blair, the Prime Minister. If heard of Paisley and have an undefined negative association with him. Thatcher I know from when she was PM. Some of the other names sound vaguely familiar, but not enough to check them...British Politicians
28When I started feeling "funny" and saw trailers[1] when the interviewer motioned I knew it was going to be an interesting interview. When most of the people interviewing me had a comment about how different they were from me I knew it wasn't the job for me...

[1] Nope, didn't take anything to cause that that I was aware of...
What was your worst job interview ever, and why?
29Of course I also walk around barefoot outside when it's freezing...How warm is your home, when it's below freezing out?
30 OK, my favorite cover seems to be KMFDM's "Mysterious Ways". As they say at the beginning, It's even better than the real thing! As th the worst, I don't have an opinion. There's just so much dreck out there.

Remember the three rules of covers:
Do it different.
Do it better.
or Do "Dancing in the Streets...

I've been listening to a lot of plunder and recontexturalized music lately. It's almost the opposite of a cover. Instead of taking a song and re-recording it in their own style, these people take a recording or several and mix it all up to make something different. It's really shaky legally and perhaps morally, but some of it's pretty cool. Of course a lot of it is almost un-listenable.

Detritus has an archive of some of the better including banned KLF, Negitiveland, and Plunderphonics. On another part of their site is some really cool stuff by The Evolution Control Committee. I highly recommend tracks 1 and 9. Tracks 6, 7, and 13 are cool too, but in a re-edited speech kind of way...
What are your favorite and least favorite cover tunes?
