Spinning

• Hole, doing "Teenage Whore," off their classic Pretty On the Inside, an album title which The Band always felt would benefit from the following inflection: Pretty, On the Inside. You see? Better, yes? Anyway -- you go, Courtney.
  
  
• A group that calls itself Magic Dirt, singing "She-riff," a rippin' tune off their album Young and Full of the Devil. The perfect Valentine's Day gift for your favorite right wing fundamentalist. Guess they're an Aussie outfit -- has opened for such alt.luminaries as Pavement, Sonic Youth, Hole and Dinosaur Jr. Anyone who opens for Dino Jr. can't be bad.
  
  
• The Cogs, doing "David's Mother" off of Viva! -- "I always thought he wanted more / but he just became the son of the neighborhood whore." Hmmm.....sounds like there's a whore-theme going on here....
  
  
• 7 Year Bitch, doin' "Gun," offa Sick 'Em
  
  
• and, last but not least, Lydia Lunch doing a cover of the Tom Waits tune, "Hollywood & Vine," that just, well, almost defines bitchin'! The Band heartily approves!
