WotWs was another one I got when I was very young.
I'm listening to the Horsell Common bit right now. The soft guitars at the start are still way creepy.

I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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.

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

Incidenjtally, discussion of the new Fiery Furnaces has inspired me to dig out Gallowsbird's Bark. If it really is such a leap forward, I'm officially very excited. Not out here until September, alas.
You want a copy of the promo?
Blasphemy! some bits of WotW are ace - Phil Lynott as the mad preacher, the storming title track. Back me up, Hec. But I admit it's best when you're either 8 or very very stoned.
I wish I could say that all of you are nuts, but I haven't heard it since I was a stoned (very, very) teenager, so maybe it's me. But I doubt it.

I wanna say something, but I just can't get past that whole "A stoned teenager? Mocking something? Has the world gone mad??!?" reaction.
David Essex trying to emote is pretty cringeworthy, but the parson is very cool. And, hey, Richard Burton.

I know! That's what gives me pause. Because usually my targets were just that accurate that all these years later, I can say, "My name is Hayden C, and I endorse my stoned teenage ramblings."

If you don't mind, that'd be fab. I'm racking my brains to think of something reciprocal you won't have - Lorca?
Anyway, jim@eatonterry.com.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
