Roxy Music
I thought of all the American pop culture icons, Marilyn Monroe: selling cigarettes or beer with a glamorous image. But it was a bit off-kilter as well; there was something a bit strange about it, futuristic as well as retro. All that, instead of a picture of the band, in a dreary street, looking rather sullen. Which was the norm. Bryan Ferry

SONG OF THE DAY: The Features - "Kari-Anne"
Often credited as Kari-Ann, this song has been around a long, long time. This version is from the import release of Exhibit A. For a bit of the song's history, check out Damage Is Done.
"How can you choose between Bryan Ferry and David Bowie? They're gods."

The Features "Kari-Ann" Live @ The Boro May 2nd, 2002
I talk about the May 2nd, 2002 show a lot on this blog, and that's partly because I consider it to be one of the best shows they've ever done, but also because the band did something like 30 songs at that show (I am at work and do not have my database handy; yes, I WORK). That means that when all's said and done, this one concert is gonna be responsible for a ton of the tracks on this site.
Also a note on how I'm deciding what to post everyday. I've tried to get it down to a science, one that is objective and not based only on OMGMYFAVESONGSOHMAN. In my database I have a list of every Features song in my collection. Next to the song is the total number of versions I have followed by the number of versions have been posted to this site. From that I get a measurement of the percentage of song versions every song has posted on the site. I sort it with the lowest percentages first and post a version from that lowest-ranked song every day. That way I won't burn through all of the versions of "Harder To Ignore" (of which I have 4) when I still have plenty of "Kari-Anns" to publish (19 total). To keep things from getting stale (AND APOLOGIES IF THEY ARE!) I try to only post a song once every 30 days (this rule gets tossed in event weeks like Acoustic Week).
Like I said previously, there are still around 20 or 30 songs that have still not been posted to this site, including one big'un that I have 14 versions of and have post nary a one to the site. Can you guess which one that is? Mysteries!
