FEMA Rap. For kidz. But I like it, too.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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.

That was indeed an appropriate transition from the Cramps to Richard & Linda T. And I did get your email.

I hate to disagree with hec, but Smell of Female is the one Cramps record you should buy - "Live from the Peppermint Lounge!". It's up there with Weld, Rank and Live at San Quentin in the history of live albums.
I haven't watched much Deadwood, both cos Penny hates Westerns and cos I just can't get my head round the reinvention of McShane. Did Lovejoy ever show in the States? It was huge at the turn of the '90s, the BBC's top cosy Sunday night drama, with McShane as a lovable rogue antiques dealer. I can't think of an exact equivalent, but it's on a par with...Bill Cosby turning up as a foulmouthed killer.

Here's a High Hat idea: The Wire and Kanye West:selfconsciousness, the twin pressures of the street and academia, preppie thugs, crack dealing as social protest...

I enjoyed Lovejoy quite a lot, but Deadwood is a real tour de force with McShane at the centre of things like a big malevolent spider. It's wonderful. And, uh, the music over the closing credits is usually appropos and interesting. (whew)

Huh, that used to show over here on A&E, before it devolved to the war channel. MST3K had a field day with a bad American made for TV movie with McShane as the bad guy, who they kept referring to as "Lovejoy".

SEXY BEAST must have been quite the head turner, too, what with both McShane and Ben Kingsley in that kind of role, and McShane seducing James Fox at one point.

Jim, I would love to read and(dare I say write for?) such an endeavor. Even though that was not meant for me, but for the face of "High Hat" himself.

I have another Wire-related pitch which I can't write myself - about how complex the relationship between fact and fiction is in Simon's work (for example Jay Landesman: he's a real cop, was fictionalised as Munch in H:LOTS, then his name was given to an entirely different character in The Wire, but half the dialogue Bunk says in The Wire is stuff lifted from the real Jay Landesman). The way stuff intertwines is really odd - and I haven't even read/seen The Corner - and someone who has access to all of Homicide should explore it.

"Cutty" in "The Wire" couldn't exist without some of the stories in "The Corner" in fact, as far as I could tell, all of Season 3 owes it a major debt.(I'm not sure if you've seen it over there Jim, and I suck at the whitefont, or I'd go on, at some probably tiresome length.) Gary D' Addario(the sometimes model for Giardello) appears in many H:LOTS as, if I recall correctly, the leader of the Quick Response Team.
