By the way it isn't coincidental that Katie Perry's song "California Gurls" was spelled that way. Apparently her manager is a fan of Big Star and asked Katie to spell Girls with a "u" in honor of Alex Chilton's recent passing. So she did...hot and cool is a good combination.
I thought I'd point out Big Star's relevant song to this time of year "Jesus Christ" off their 1974 recorded but 1978 released Third/Sister Lovers. Take a listen below. I wish there was better graphics to accompany the song.
Here is an earlier blog entry on Big Star if you want to pursue.
