Rob Sheffield - Talking to Girls About Duran Duran

Palmer sings it well. Not a big hit here: a top thirty peak or something, b/w "Addicted to Love" and "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On."

DJed a show one time, I'm playing the Feelies and the singer asked if I had any dBs. Last thing on my mind is "don't you trust my taste to move the crowd?"

i really doubt Feelies were moving any crowds to begin with, homie

homie?

This is the first time I've thought about Robert Palmer's "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" since it was on the radio. I suppose it's something that all these years later the hook immediately jumped into my head.

Didn't know anything about this until today:

Hoping my ignorance of Karaoke won't be much of an impediment.

Got Turn Around Bright Eyes in the mail yesterday, finished it very quickly. Excellent, although sobering--it's largely about moving past stuff that I'm still stuck on at 51. What the three books need now is a nickname. The Ditch Trilogy is taken, and wouldn't work anyway.

Wandered over to the Amazon listing and was bemused when I noted who one of the chief reviewers was.

oh is that the guy from Postal Service

What does it mean when a book makes you feel like you can sing?

I would be all about Ariel reviewing this book. Hell, Ursula.

Met this guy at the recent Chickfactor shows in Brooklyn. Boy, he was extremely nice. I very much enjoyed watching the bands and talking to him there.

Rob, that is.

Rob really is a truly nice human-being, and really really funny. Was very lucky to get to hear him do a radio show for a couple of years as well. It was always great.

I picked this up yesterday and read 3/4 of it by nighttime. Really enjoy it. A lot of it is trifle but it's engaging trifle. I loved the chapter on Hazey Fantezey
