It WAS a commercial station, Ike. That's why I was so surprised. But they did that thing Commercial stations always do where they pretend like they plucked the artist out of nowhere, and they never did anything before the station found them.

I was OBSESSED with Bad Reputation when I was 7 years old. It was on the Shrek soundtrack (it was a cover version actually) and I would jump up and down and sing along 20 times in a row if no one yanked it off. My cousin thought it was a "bad" song because of the "damn" so she would try and switch it to the Smash Mouth cover of I'm a Believer that was on that album, and we'd fight over it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 9/15/17 3:48pm BronwynB:

We listened to that album over and over and over. Snicker if you want but it introduced us (indirectly, via covers) to Joan Jett, The Monkees, and Leonard Cohen.

Thank you for the public service announcement Sheila B. Advanced cervical cancer is a terrible tragedy which you note is readily preventable. You may have saved some lives today by inspiring people to do what they need to do to check this out.

Bjork was on Colbert (the old Colbert, the Fox spoof) promoting Biophilia. Colbert was so dazzled by her that he made one halfhearted attempt to stay in character (grumbling that "science is bad") before giving up altogether and just being the gushing fanboy he was.
