i always found it odd that massive attack covered "light my fire", but then
again, the doors were known for the same sort of dark (what's life w/o a bad

my favorite though is the 9 lazy 9 track that i mentioned earlier "monk's
dream". it's one of my favorite thelonius monk tunes--i like to play it at
my straight jazz gig, just to see if anyone notices...
