I Covered It Again http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/11355/oops-i-covered-it-again/ http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/11355/oops-i-covered-it-again/#comments Fri, 30 Jun 2006 04:43:30 +0000 Casey Bisson http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/11355/

I don’t know why it is that I love bad knockoffs of cheap pop, but I do. That’s why, when I heard a folksy rendition of Oops! I Did It Again playing between segments on some NPR program a while ago, I had to go looking for it.

As it turns out, it was Richard Thompson, whose strange sense of humor apparently pops up in his music regularly. You can find his version indexed in Last.fm, but you can’t play it there, and despite the suggestion here, it’s not available as an MP3 download from his site. To hear it, you’ll have to stream it from NPR, or go buying.

Extra: I heard the Richard Thompson cover back in May, but I only remembered it now because KCRWmusic named Toxic, as covered by The Chapin Sisters, their Top Tune recently. Can’t get enough Britney Spears covers? Check out episode 175 of Coverville.

Extra extra: I can’t decide if the best header image for this story would be Britney in wax at Madame Tussaud’s, pretending to do hard math, or just some fan with a Brit photo on his refrigerator in Michigan. Good stuff all.

dart piercing balloon from Pulse Photonics.

The gallery at Pulse Photonics has more than a few images that seem to pause time in impossible moments.

They’ve got images of balloons pierced by arrows and darts, oranges exploding from a gunshot, bullets shattering glass and slicing through jelly, and all of this falling water and oil in so many little droplets.

You really oughtta go see the whole gallery. And after that, go visit the Photron gallery of slow motion videos that caught my eye a while ago.

IBC Cream Soda Pic.I found a bottle of IBC Cream Soda at our famous Warren Village Market and it quickly reminded me of why I love cream soda. But now, no other cream soda tastes as good. I’ve tried a few; they just make me sad.

Now I need to speak with the folks at the market to get a case of the good stuff. It can also be ordered from PopSoda.com.
