Random ramblings cuz I have nothing better to do... or something... :)This is the site formerly known as Anneke's Haven. Within, you will find information about my previous White Wolf chronicles, and other random gaming related stuff. I also have a blog here, where I talk about pretty much everything and anything, though it's primarily about my exciting life... the definition of exciting definitely being up for debate.
Enjoy your visit, and come back soon!

(For those who have been wondering, yes, I think this is now my official "rant about cover songs" blog.)
Add another one to the list of things I hate, despite the fact that I haven't even heard it. Apparently AFI has done a cover of "Head Like a Hole."
Now there are some songs that you just DON'T cover. "Head Like a Hole" is perfect the way it was written. It has no chance of being improved by any cover. Granted, Devo does a version of it which is enjoyable and amusing, but it's still not something that should be done. And especially by AFI. I don't care if the lead singer of AFI is a little bit cute, that doesn't excuse him.
Bad AFI, no bisquit!
In other news, I am currently reserving judgement on Marilyn Manson's cover of "Personal Jesus." I heard a brief clip of it on a commercial for his Greatest Hits (wha? How does he get greatest hits after maybe half a dozen years of making music). I was deeply offended at first, but it sounds like it could be okay. And as Thor pointed out last night, Marilyn Manson's covers do have a tendency to be some of his better songs. His "Sweet Dreams" is awesome, in my book... and I even really like the original of that song! :)
So for those keeping score, the list of bands that Dawn is extremely grumpy with are as follows:
- 311, for "Lovesong"
- Amy Lee, for "Heart Shaped Box"
- Tatu, for "How Soon is Now"
- AFI, for "Head Like a Hole"
In another category are those who Dawn is grumpy with, but might be willing to forgive based on other merits:
- Tori Amos, for damn near every cover song she's ever done... but she's a sexy red-head, and one of the few women I'd actually want to be romantically involved with, so she's forgiven
- Duran Duran, for "911 is a Joke"... because I can forgive them for one error... mainly cuz Simon LeBon is a sexy sexy man... even if he is getting old... :)
I'm sure there will be additions at a later date... :)
