OH, SNAP: Camille:

"Bachelorette" is the high-rise, tapered, acid-washed, elastic-waisted jean of vocabulary. With a mullet."

Awesome.

Also, "See My Friend" by the Kinks appears to have been the first use of a sitar in a pop song, beating "Norwegian Wood" by four months or so. I guess I can't even claim the Beatles to have been original anymore...

(addendum, from Kim: "(oh, there was no sitar on that piece but rather "Davies sought to achieve an Indian sound, subsituting a controlled feedback for the drone, and his approach differed markedly from Harrisons")"
