Just for kicks, I filled in the form on the SW page that went up today asking for notification when they’re in. Wonder how long it will be before I get a call from them....

"Hello?"
"Is this Mr. Friday?"
"No."
"MCF?"
"Yes."
"Sorry. We assumed that stood for Man Crush Friday."
"..."
"Anyway, this is Markus Esa at Mesa-Boogie. You asked to be notified when the Subway TT-800 bass amplifier was available."
"Yeah, I did that just a half hour ago."
"It's available."
"What? Can't be! Who is this?"
"Look at your caller ID, sir."
"Anyone can spoof things."
"Who else would know and have your number? Anyway, seriously. It's available."
"Now?"
"Now. Would you like to preorder?"
"Wait. Would I like to what?"
"I asked if you would like to preorder. I just need your credit card number."
"And how long until I would have the amp in my hands?"
"Not long at all!"
"Precisely how not long?"
"Well, I'm not 100% sure."
"OK, approximately. A week? A month? A year?"
"Oh, easily a matter of weeks!"
"Mmm hmm. How many? Less than 26?"
"I would hope so."
"Call back when you can guarantee me less than two." <click>
<ring>
"Hello?"
"This is..."
"I know. Why are you calling back so soon?"
"I can guarantee you less than two."
"How?"
"You just wanted one, right? That's less than two. Now if I can just get your..."

Agree.

And despite being a pop-tart, or probably more accurately a former pop-tart*, Britney Spears actually has some great songs. There is a reason that there are so many covers, including metal bands. A good song is a good song...




* What would you call a former pop-tart? An expired pop-tart? Do pop-tarts even have an expiration date?

I love both of those versions!

:) Thanks Miles! I searched and found many versions by many artists - it's one of those songs that lives on through other interpretations. It is probably Dusty's most famous song, and she had a lot of them. You know when a song is identified with an artist when it is played as a 'walk-on'. (for the Queen no less!)
