as opposed to Shearer's old group, The Credibility Gap
I've got one of their albums. It's got a cool Jackson 5/bubblegum parody on it.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

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.

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.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
since The High Hat is still on pause could you send me the Firesign Theatre article you told me about?
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?

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

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
Who could dislike it? Bowie's and Ray Davies' best songs of the '80s? Ed Tudor-Pole? Slim Gaillard?

Not me--that was why I pimped it. I even like the Sade song, and I am not usually a fan of hers.

"Dig it up" was on the Hoodoo Gurus' 1984 debut album Stoneage Romeos.

Dear lord, the new Fiery Furnaces is.... ambitious. Lots of long songs with multiple parts. And the lyrics are really dense too. It going to take a while to sink in. I'm headed to Western Mass this weekend. I'll have to make a copy to listen to on the way.

Ha! I just checked back and saw that Hayden used the same word to descibe them. A piano and a sandbox indeed.
