		<title>Mark Burgess Walks On Water La La La La&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I heard a story once about the late Alex Chilton. Not a world-changing story, mind, but to the story-teller, it was monumental. It was a Big Star reunion show, years back. Our protagonist &#8211; let&#8217;s call him Jonathan &#8211; happened to catch Chilton&#8217;s eye, and in one glance he absorbed the acerbic, caustic disappointment and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Authenticity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Will the real Titus Welliver please stand up? I am Catbirdman. I don&#8217;t apologize for that fact; it&#8217;s who I am. It&#8217;s a name, sure. All of us are spouting names. Often called handles, they signal control. Where is my domain? Over which acres do I lord, upon which sharecroppers do I cop? What is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Girls On Film</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Duran Duran have unleashed the multi-tracks (albeit in a considerably condensed format, with vocals smooshed together with synths and so forth) for their 1981 chart hit &#8220;Girls On Film&#8221; onto the general public, I&#8217;m assuming intentionally&#8230; and in any case the results have been spectacular, with many fan mixes cropping up over the past few [...]]]></description>

		<title>Careless Memories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And now on to the second single, Careless Memories b/w Khanada/Fame&#8230; The pulsing, screaming A-side is a straight take on an ended love affair. At his best/worst, Simon Le Bon is excruciatingly obscure, but this lyric is surprisingly literal: &#8220;Where are you now? / &#8216;Cos I don&#8217;t want to meet you / I think I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

		<title>Planet Earth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It would be nice to go back, physically and/or philosophically (let alone theologically), to The Beginning. Where did it all start? Light, I suppose, has been around for a while. In particles, in waves, it, like Love, bathes us to this day. &#8220;The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feelin&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Woke up with a feelin&#8217; last Tuesday, and there I was lyin&#8217; on the floor. Bears in hibernation, cats on the prowl, moles scurrying for their lives&#8230; the whole scene opened up before my eyes. I wrote it down. It became &#8220;Kitty&#8217;s First Words, Part 2.&#8221; I wrote a rock opera, basically. But I am [...]]]></description>

		<title>Virginia Plain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back, and the best way to come back is to come back unexpectedly, which is just how this track hits us. For a hit single, it has a strange opening, hooking you in almost subconsciously, and then hitting you full force with glam splendor. Its driving rhythm is accented with brass bursts and Eno [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Dear Disco</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Dear Disco want you to dance and think. According to guitarist/co-producer Robert &#8220;Squirrel&#8221; Lester, &#8220;this term called dance think, it&#8217;s an idea of music that is as good to your body as it is to your mind, multi-purpose music that you can listen to by yourself in the car and enjoy it as much [...]]]></description>

		<title>T. Rex</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The next step on the journey toward Duran Duran leads us into the early &#8217;70s and the formation of glam rock. Right away, music becomes more than just music; it&#8217;s an image-consciousness that seeped into the young minds of John Taylor, Nick Rhodes, and countless other British kids who dreamed of becoming pop stars. This [...]]]></description>

		<title>All Roads Lead to the Velvet Underground</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My recent posts on Duran Duran have prompted me to mine the past a bit, trying to trace a path backwards to a suitable origin. I ended up at the Velvet Underground, which is typical, for nearly every pop-art musical road ultimately leads either to or from the Velvet Underground. They are the crossroads. I [...]]]></description>
