LEWD LIFT? As I mentioned, I've developed a real fascination with the Stern show of late. Today Howard mentioned a band called Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, a sort of punk band known for playing covers of schmaltzy pop songs (i.e., they'd do "Dust in the Wind" or "One Tin Soldier" or other stuff like that). Anyhow, I wanna track the effect of a Stern show mention, so I've checked out their latest disc on Amazon and, wonder of wonders, it already has an Amazon sales rank of 600. Now I know their previous records are these little word-of-mouth affairs, so apparently this one already has some pre-Stern push behind it. Anyhow, for now it stands at 600. Let's see where it is tomorrow morning.
