If you're wondering what the little blue icon is in the browser above, it is the 'favicon'. I had no clue what the crap a favicon was, so i found a picture of cool blue guitar and then blogger shrunk it and stuck it there..... What a super world we live in.

I was trying to eat lunch at work the other day, when I heard the telltale double E played by Kurt Cobain in Smells Like Teen Spirit. It was that made me poke my head out the door to see a guy I work with listening to an ipod. I heard a few lines of Teen Spirit, the double E and then the song morphed into something else.

While I stared out in shock, it morphed back to Teen Spirit. It wasn't KC singing, or DG drumming or KN on the bass. The guy holding the ipod looked at me and said 'cool, huh?'

I replied. 'What the holy hell is this?'

'It's a mash up of SLTS and a song by Johnny Cash.'

It was balls on a stick and this guy, 21, thought it was the shiznit. . . .

I was dumbstruck, but he continued. 'You like the Chili's? I remember you telling me....'

'Yeah,' I interrupted, filled with dread. 'I love them. Why?'

He looked at the ipod and skipped a few tracks. 'You'll love this.'

My heart dropped. Someone was about to ruin a classic RHCP track, i knew it, dammit, i knew it. Sure enough the opening of Under The Bridge started. Badly. (not All Saints bad, it was still rock music after all).  But the weird thing was, the vocalist sounded a hell of a lot like Anthony Kiedis.

I can only assume that the owner of the ipod took my stunned silence as solemn, centred adoration because he offered to burn me disc of  'this song and a whole bunch of similar stuff'.

I said yes, only to discover the enemy. Am I an undercover rock cop?

Incidentally, I finally heard a Melvins track that I like. Goin' Blind from Houdini is excellent. Worth a look.
