'Dirty Girls'
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.
I'm not at all surprised that a Great Pop Things co-author would read this book; there are other people I wrote about who I'm much more squirrelly about "oh my God what would they THINK!?!"
Also, George Pelecanos, whose latest book is aces.
I totally take credit for Pelecanos being in the book, as Hec had never read him before I sent him a copy of something or other. And I told GP so, too. Of course, then I ran away, but STILL.
Go ridiculous! Choose ridiculous!
Was there any doubt? Now on the player "As the sun pulls away from the shore and our boat sinks slowly in the west, we approach the island of Lulu -- spelled backwards "Ulul". In the distance we hear Spike Jones and his Wacky Wakakians..." followed by Spike & his cohorts chanting, ululating, burping, farting, banging on stuff and doing whatever else they can think of to make funny noises. My people! Singing my song!
Jesse, I knew you were cool, but I continue to find new depths of coolness to be awed by.
Has anyone else gotten hooked lately on bands like Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys, aka the Heirs of the Pogues?

Oh, yes, me. I really love DKM--such a great, funny, rousing band, with FM not far behind. I play 'em all the time.
FM is much more Irish than DKM, but, you know, "Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced" is one of the most beautiful songs in the world.
Joe, I got the CDs. I will try to rip tomorrow and pass them right along. BONUS! the post office did not cancel the stamps (people, I cannot say this enough, almost 2/3 of the package mail I get with stamps instead of metered postage is not cancelled, it's like free stuff. When you have the chance buy and use stamps. (this coming from the person who mailed out 10 packages this week, not using stamps on any of them.)), so I will mail them out in the same envelope and pass the love along.
love the parenthetical, correct or not.
