Aloe Blacc Listens to the Velvet Underground

I'm tired of looking at, hearing, and reading about LeBron's decision to get a new job. Even when a photo of rob is involved. I am accordingly bumping yesterday's post. Maybe this will get me fired.

Here's Aloe Blacc's soulful take (in 3/4 waltz time?!) on the Velvet Underground's "Femme Fatale."

The first time I ever heard this song was an R.E.M. B-side cover of it in the '80s. This version is just slightly different than that version.

John Wall pulled a groin (his own) in his first practice with the Wizards. Not . . . boding . . . well . . .

Am I the only one in the GTB treehouse today? Helloooooo?

Yeah, I have a ton of work to do, too, but I am immensely hung
over and I'd rather take part in the usual juvenilia than do it.

I got a chicken schnitzel sandwich with spicy mayo from the schnitzel truck and now I have insane heartburn. It messes with my blogging.

Clarence said...

Food from a truck. Oh yeah. Like beer from the Irish Times taps or action from a Bolivian call girl -- you love it when it's going down, but you will feel the burn later.

Can I crash chez Igor on the 28th and get a ride to obft on the 29th?

It just ain't Femme Fatale without Nico. No offense, Stipe. Or Aloe Blacc (whoever the fuck you are).

F of G:TB Vitas is getting married in an hour. I'm the best man. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to say during my speech at the reception but I know I'm taking a shot a FSU football during said speech (Vitas' wife went to FSU). Wish me luck boys.

Dave said...

if you're asking me for advice on doing a best man's toast, I suggest mentioning bodily fluids and/or castration . . . but I might not be the one to ask.

Clarence said...

Zman... sure.

Rob, Dave... welcome back, hope you felchers enjoyed P-town.

Nobody has much to say on the World Cup final, eh? USA or nothing.

It was a shitty first half, featuring five yellow cards (one of which should have been a red for kung fu kicking).

rob said...
