I’m glad to see Molly’s Lips and Cherry Lips were chosen. Those are probably my two favorite Lips songs.

What?? No Beautiful South “Lips”? I knew I shoulda sent in a submission!

By JiM on 02.25.09 1:56 am

Tim! That was the song I was going to submit when I discovered the other one! Wow!

I thought this was a great episode. Loved Prince, Ween, Esther Phillips, The Vaselines. Everything was so good!

I thought I’d see at least a cover version of that old Go-Go’s tune! I shall be listening shortly, but I’m thrill to see Flaming Lips up there!

Another great episode, with top marks going to JC for his inspired choice of Prince. I was taking a leaf out of Marcy’s book and listening on the treadmill but I was at home and there wasn’t anyone around to hear me laughing! Will have to make sure I run while I’m listening every week - it kept me going for an extra two k’s and that is always a good thing!

I also liked the Archie Bronson Outfit and Esther Phillips. Very good!

Loved Louis Prima and Esther Phillips, and, well, all of it really again. And James - slapping and howling wind belonged in FiL’s intro, surely?

You know Adam, I think the siding started to come off the around the same time as the debut of FiLip-p-p-p-pe. Coincidence? I think not.

This was great from start to finish! I liked every song and thought that Prince and The Shins were especially wonderful choices. I’ve always loved that line ‘you’ve got someone coming round/gluing tinsel to your crown’.

And James, I actually have a couple Ruth Brown records but I had absolutely no idea she was the great Rakim’s auntie. That is amazing- small world indeed!

I am all over that Funny Little Dream tune. Loved it. I also really enjoyed the Lucia Popp. Très Contrasty.

am i the only person who’s disturbed by that picture? it really creeps me out for some reason. :0

By mjrc on 03.03.09 7:03 pm

Marcy, I think it is because the guy’s lips look like they grow out of an orange or a sponge.

By Tricia on 03.03.09 8:06 pm

Have been thinking that myself all week! Definitely a creepy pic.

By Agnes on 03.03.09 9:48 pm

tricia–how can you tell which is the guy?

agnes–it’s almost as bad as when i look at a picture of a snake. i have to look away!

By mjrc on 03.03.09 11:00 pm

I do fink it is two girls. Mmmmmmm.

;)

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Just got to get some pore reduction product to that right chin’s owner.

By Tricia on 03.03.09 11:46 pm

that was my guess, as well. however, it’s the other set of lips that bother me even more!

(tim, you dog, you!)
