Let's All Meet Up in the Year 2000

In 1995, Pulp released their breakthrough album Different Class. This loose concept album is a meditation on British class relations. "Common People" is about a rich girl who thinks it's cool to go slumming. "Mis-Shapes" rallies the artistic and creative by using "the one thing we've got more of, that's our minds." The chilling song "I Spy" is the tale of one man of lower class's seduction of a rich man's wife. Not all of the songs are class battles. "Something Changed" is a rumination on fate.

Today's featured song is "Disco 2000", a great rock dance song from Different Class. The narrator sings to Deborah, a woman from his childhood who he seems to have made a promise to meet up with in the year 2000. The video tells a different story.

Random Chuck Norris Related Post

So apparently in 1986, Chuck Norris had his own cartoon show, "Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos." It ran for all of six episodes and I'm sure it's comedy gold. Wikipedia has more information. .

Here's the opening of the first episode:

What happens when two hacks get together to trash a rock classic? You get Celine and Anastacia covering AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" for fun and profit.

Why don't you come on over?

This summer Mark Ronson released a brilliant covers album called "Version." On it Ronson mixes soul horns with hip-hop beats for a generally good time. This video depicts Mark and his band jamming in a club with as they're about to start playing a cover of the Zutons song "Valerie." But, just as they get to where the vocalist should enter, it turns out Amy Winehouse isn't there. One could presume that she's in rehab (no, no, no). So, what does Mark do? He pulls a girl dressed as Amy out of the crowd to sing, then another, and another...
