Spike ,'Sleeper'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Done! Thank you.
I'd write "eta" but I don't know what it stands for.

What people don't realize is that he was as brilliant, if not more brilliant, a vocalist as he was a uke player.
Oh yeah, the guy who was writing about him specialized in early crooners and was far more interested in him as a singer.
And I checked my laptop and I've imported into iTunes so I should be able to zap you up a copy in no time. Though I did no special tweaking, my digitization of it sounds better to my ears than the one on Jig Time. They left it at that very high volume that makes it fuzz out a bit when the band first starts wailing. I think it was that way on the Human Orchestra as well, but I toned it down just a wee bit so there's no cut out.
Is there any agreement out there on what "Meat Puppets" means? The Meat Puppets took their name from the song "Meat Puppets," from the album Meat Puppets. I can't make out a single word on that song; I don't know if there is one.
Perhaps the most obvious interpretation is sexual, but for some reason the name has mostly had an abusrdist association with me. Sorta' like, "We're just meat; we're not in control of our lives like we think we are."

That's basically it. As I recall, the phrase "meat puppets" was being bandied about in that era before the band took it. I always presumed there was some underlying Burroughs quote backing it, but I don't know what I base that on.
I guess I could just email Derrick Bostrom and ask him since he contributed to the book.
It's from that famous William Gibson book, IIRC.
ETA: no, I'm apparently wrong, the group predated Necromancer.
The book's name is Neuromancer.

The late 90s reissues had a lyrics sheet for the first album. I'd be happy to look that up for you sometime this week, but it's pretty much as David said, to my recollection.
Does anyone have recommendations on how best to mail CDs? They aren't in jewel cases, but in slim round-ish plastic cases that aren't quite as rigid, I don't think.

I just use padded envelopes and they go through fine.
Right on, thanks. Now to see if I'll ever be able to get to the damn post office when it's open.
