I needed a couple of days to digest that barbecue.
No fucking kidding. I was sick the next day, and I wasn't sure if it was the bbq or the stomach virus that had brought down the rest of the family. Or both.
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry, I didn't play it, and didn't notice it was only 12k.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
WFMU has the Bollywood video clip "Jan Pehechan-Ho", seen at the beginning of Ghost World available for download here.

You do know that we (a) own Ghost World on DVD and (b) one of the features on the DVD is the "Jaan Pechan Ho" video in its entirety, right? Not to mention that I've had it on tape since the early 90s.
Not that you shouldn't love Tom Scola forever and ever. Though if you really loved him you'd send him that Bone figure already.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My new guilty pleasure (after arguing many times that I don't feel guilty about musical pleasures) is Spacehog.
First of all it's a bad band name.
Second of all, everything they do is both derivative and a bit shallow.
That noted, they derive from Suede and Bowie and Roxy Music and they do the huge guitar crunch and swoopy chorus vocals beautifully. They really sound epically, fantastically glam rock.
They're easy to find in the cut out bins.
Resident Alien and The Chinese Album are both worthy.
AMG sums it up pretty well on The Chinese Album review:
"In the Meantime" was a huge hit, and Resident Alien went gold, but Spacehog's debut earned them no critical respect. At any other time, the group's glitzy revival of Bowie, Roxy and Mott the Hoople would have earned kudos, but it arrived at the height of Brit-pop, when other, more celebrated (and, frankly, better) bands were dominating the media spotlight. So, when it came time to deliver their second record, Spacehog knew they had to make a big splash, and The Chinese Album delivers on that promise. A faux song cycle layered with details and hooks, The Chinese Album is a big album conceptually, but the band doesn't quite have the gravity required to make it the sweeping achievement they desire. That hardly means that the album isn't enjoyable, however. Royston Langdon's mock-Bowie baritone is damn near irresistible, and when they have the right hooks and melodies, the result is a gaudy guilty pleasure.

Huh. You can watch videos at AMG now. You have to watch through a brief commercial first.

Yup.
and (b) one of the features on the DVD is the "Jaan Pechan Ho" video in its entirety, right?
This I did not know, owing to you being the one who bought it and neither one of us having watched it since the boughtening. And IIRC, the tape is mighty grainy and scritchy and many generations removed from the original movie musical shininess.
Though if you really loved him you'd send him that Bone figure already.
Dude, it's been ready to go forever. You had stuff you wanted to send him, so it's been sitting in its box all lonely and waiting for its care-package companions. Poor little thing.
