    Ooh, I've been away from MOG for quite a while, but this is a great way to get sucked in. :P

    Thanks, Misstee, for you ever-impeccable taste, a great band doing a great cover of a great song (too many greats? my internal thesaurus is kaput tonight ;p)...though, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the Damned's version a cover as well?

    Anyway, in a nice bout of synchronicity, I've just got my sweaty paws on "Carried To Dust" and gonna give it a listen in the next few hours....can't wait to see if the reports (that it's as good or better than "Feast Of Wire") are justified.

    Tara, good to see that you got back in one piece. It was a pleasure to meet you, and wish you could have at least stayed for dinner tonight.

    BTW, the song's originally by Love. It's cool, because I remember the song originally by The Damned also. In fact ...

    And Arthur Lee and a recent version of Love performing the song in 2000.
