Perhaps the most startling thing learned at last night’s Morcheeba show at First Avenue — aside from the fact that the group has a completely different singer than it used to (above: before; below: after), which is roughly the equivalent of hearing Sammy Hagar sing “Jump” or some such thing and enraged the RBBH to no end — was the revelation from Wolves blogger Li’l Dice that rappers love Phil Collins. We had never heard this before, and we can only find circumstantial evidence on the Interwebs to support the claim, but as crazy as it sounds she swears it’s true. Maybe it’s not as far as we think from “Take Me Home” to “Just a Lil Bit.” In any event, if rappers can love Phil Collins, that can only mean one thing: anyone and everyone is in play to coach the craziest team in the NBA, the Knicks, after the new Donnie Walsh regime does the sensible thing and cans Isiah Thomas. Could be Bobby Knight. Could be Rick Pitino. Could be Cheryl Littlejohn. Could be just about anyone. We do know this: Put your guess down right now; if it turns out to be correct, you’ll be the envy of the neighborhood and win a free egg roll.
