I watched Cocksucker Blues again the other day and the most interesting part was the one with Bianca Jagger.

Just a heads up to the high rollers out there that there’s a signed copy of Pepper up on ebay dot com right now. Bidding is at $31,110 so far with more than two days left in the auction. The reserve is not yet met so things still have a chance to get interesting or absurd. The record is accompanied by these groovy photos of the fabs supposedly signing the thing. Watch this space: I’ll update when the auction goes off.

Update: the price didn’t budge since this was posted and the auction ended without the reserve being met. An anticlimax, I guess.

the stickers on records

Posted on May 6, 2010 | 2 comments

This optimistic sticker on the sleeve of The Beach Boys’s M.I.U. Album predicted that their weak cover of “Peggy Sue”, done in a Hooray for Everything-style arrangment, would be a hit. It only managed to make it to #59 on the Billboard charts. Is #59 considered a hit for an act that was once accustomed to regular top tens?
