We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan  

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.

The naughty lady of Shady Lane
Has the town in a whirl....

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Recent fun from Harry Shearer's "Le Show" (in Real Audio):

"Profiles in Kerrage: McCain bows out" (Kerry and McCain discuss McCain being a "Super Sized Vice President". "Let's not misunderstand each other, John: I said you could be like a non-evil Dick Cheney running any- and everything you wanted to.")

Dick Cheney confidential--*&%^# yourself" (Cheney & Powell in a neo-noir.)

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Ted Nugent sings "Trouble Down South".

Actually, I can totally hear him screaming, "REVENGE IS A RED FLAG SOAKED IN A BROTHER'S BLOOD!"

I can also hear him calling the Contras "freedom fighters" without a trace of irony.

Check out this week's Le Show, Hayden. Way more elaborately produced than most episodes. There are a bunch of skits done in the guise of old films/vaudeville. Very Firesign Theatre-ish (as opposed to Shearer's old group, The Credibility Gap.) Speaking of which... since The High Hat is still on pause could you send me the Firesign Theatre article you told me about? Shoes for industry, compradre.

Another bad cover: Nana Mouskouri doing After the Goldrush.

I've got one of their albums. It's got a cool Jackson 5/bubblegum parody on it.

Just want to make clear that my Credibility Gap comment had to do with style, not quality. I really dig them. Weird trivia: David L. Lander, a.k.a. Andrew Squiggman a.k.a. Squiggy, is a baseball scout.

A sneak preview? Well, maybe, since you're a contributor and all.

FYI, everyone else, between my home computer crashing (in which I lost my copy of Dreamweaver) and half the editorial staff quitting due to lack of time, the HH is taking A LOT longer than originally estimated. In fact, the guy who's supposedly finishing up has been incommunicado with the rest of us for about a month. So, soon, soon.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Well, I just trawled through hundreds of posts. I missed the Beatles love-in (I too am large with the Revolver love), the Bowie-fest (I only have his 2-CD Best Of, and yet there are only four artists who account for more music on my computer) and of course the Kylie-pimping of "Your Disco Needs You" (such a fun song) and "Red Blooded Woman". Sigh. I always miss out on the good bits. Because I don't participate in this thread. So, ok, it's all my own fault. Don't mock me!

I'll vote for "Dig It Up" by Hoodoo Gurus.

I hve not heard this one. When did they release it?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Billytea, I keep forgetting to ask you, did you like the Absolute Beginners soundtrack?
