The folks at Postal Blowfish have lots of time on their hands, and this little time-waster is an alphabet of one's favorite musicians:
A Aphex Twin
B The Beatles
C Current 93
D Miles Davis
E Eraserheads
F Fushitsusha
G Guided By Voices
H PJ Harvey
I Susie Ibarra
J Rickie Lee Jones
K Kronos Quartet
L Luna
M Merzbow
N New Order
O Oasis
P The Police
Q Queen, I guess
R R.E.M.
S Matthew Sweet
T Talking Heads
U U2
V The Velvet Underground
W Tom Waits
X XTC
Y Yo La Tengo
Z John Zorn
Difficult letters:
C -- Coil? John Coltrane?
P -- arrgh, with Pavement and the Pixies...
S was difficult, having to choose between Frank Sinatra, Superchunk, Bruce Springsteen, and the Smiths.
And being forced to pick Tom Waits over Stevie Wonder -- not good.
(I bet I know what Barbara's A to Z will look like: A for A-ha, B for Bon Jovi, C for Culture Club, D for Duran Duran...) Ha!

A for Joey Ayala
B for the Beatles
C for the Cure!!
How 'bout A for Animotion—my bro-in-law's band (my, what big hair you have!)...

Can you tell him for me that I really really liked "Obsession?" =)
Posted by: the wily filipino on January 10, 2004 07:27 PMYes, that's him! Isn't that hilarious? I'll pass along the message. I've always loved "Obsession," too—a real tragic 80s classic...
Posted by: Veronica on January 11, 2004 08:20 AMTama, U2 and not Underworld. Di ba papasok ang Kronos Quartet sa Q tapos pasok mo si Kylie sa K :-)
