OK. One more. The Gaye/Terrell version of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is a favorite, but the Inner Life version, particularly the Larry Levan mix, is even better?

Oh, you know what? "Everybody Wants To Rule The World." All-timer song. I think I like the Ted Leo version for AV Undercover just a smidgen more some days.

Anyway, this was fun to think about instead of working.

Etta James's "You Can Leave Your Hat On" smokes both the Randy Newman and Joe Cocker versions.

I'll add that The Isley Brothers made a career out of this. "Summer Breeze," "Hello It's Me," "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight," "Put a Little Love in Your Heart," "Fire and Rain," "Spill the Wine" -- all better than the pretty great source material.

Hmmmmm. Struggling to think of all-timers getting eclipsed, but definitely think Jawbox's "Cornflake Girl" and Pig Destroyer's "In the Meantime" are better than the OGs, and I love the OGs.

Pose exposed.

Succumb ripped at that show. I punished Derek about his Parlamentarisk Sodomi shirt.

Were they there all night? I stood in the back for Kommand and then went outside because...not...my thing. Speaking of small worlds, I was there with Avinash from Nite and Dave from Ancient Enemy. And I'm like 99 percent sure we headbanged together.

Ha, I was there. Five Star Bar.

They don't think I know. But I know.
