Barry: Oh, that's not obvious enough Rob. How about the Beatles? Or fucking... fucking Beethoven? Side one, Track one of the Fifth Symphony... How can someone with no interest in music own a record store?

"High Fidelity" movie reference.
I never worked or owned a record store but the rest IS my life.

"Famous Last Words" by MCR and "Mornington Crescent" by Belle & Sebastian are probably my two favourite closers from last year. Totally different from each other but both brilliant.

Was Famous Last Words a Billy Joel cover?

Anyway, I like:

Won't Get Fooled Again- The Who
Love Reign O'er Me- The Who
A Quick One- The Who
We're Not Gonna Take It- The Who
Keeping the Faith- Billy Joel
Captain Jack- Billy Joel
Famous Last Words- Billy Joel
I'll Be Back- The Beatles
A Day In the Life- The Beatles
7 O'Clock News/Silent Night- Simon and Garfunkel
etc.
My friends call me Keith, but you can call me John.

I was a rust repairer.
I was a rust repairer and full-time survivor.
I survived all the major earthquakes, and the Titanic, and several air crashes.

That's fine. I know them all pretty well.
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light.
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright.

Haha, completely the opposite of Joel. It's a fucking rocking song, though.

Almost as hilarious as the Metal Tribute to Coldplay album I saw today.

It was on iTunes and I don't have enough money, but I'm thinking of buying some of the songs and laughing my ass off for like six hours.
