I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
sorta' has the Jesus and Mary Chain Psychocandy sound to it.
That was Merritt's mission statement for the album.
He wanted "Distortion" to sound like "Psychocandy," the abrasive 1985 debut album by the Scottish group the Jesus and Mary Chain. "I feel like 'Psychocandy' is the last significant event in pop music production," Mr. Merritt said. "It’s the last album that sounded shockingly new, to me anyway."[link]

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
I dig the album quite a bit, myself.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Picked up the new Beck yesterday, and quite liked it. It's got a really melancholy tone to it, but the music keeps springing fun surprises - it's a nice study in contrast.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Mr. Jane pre-ordered it through iTunes. It was downloading when I left this morning. I'm looking forward to trying it out when I get home.
