    That ELF cover is cool, but I just can’t hear the opening of Dancing… w/o getting the cuturcide hack-job in my head.

    ooh! – Mary Lou Lord turns water into wine – thanks.

    this has nothing to do with the covers, which are certainly intriguing choices! no, it has to do with spiders.

    i had a frightening dream the other night and it’s all your fault–a HUGE black and yellow spider was in my house (as big as a fisher-price pull toy) and i was frantically trying to trap it and dispose of it. it was one of those dreams when you wake up and say, oh my god, thank god that was just a dream!

    that’s all. : )

    Always a trusted source for a cover shot. As usual I will pick both the Mary Lou Lord and the Lucksmiths covers – but you probably could have guessed that! ;-)

    Also, all this talk about spiders and such is making me not want to move to AUS. I can’t be having this…start talking about great beaches, hot weather and great draft beer on a patio….

    Thought you’d agree Pedro.

    No problems Andy, glad you like it.

    Terribly sorry Marcy! Greer says that spiders are supposed to be lucky though – that’s what I keep telling myself anyway. Spider dreams are the worst.

    The beaches are nice Sman, tis true, but I can’t really promote the hot weather here in Aus at the moment. Best to stay right where you are I think.

    Hmmmm, Mary Lou Lord… Do you know Paul Anka’s cover of Jump? He proves it’s really a Big Band kind of song.

    Hmmm, yes I thought it was a little suspect myself! Great idea – Sman, if you’re reading this, head over and visit A Free Man – link in the blogroll.
