I think asking erinaceous to get a sex-change operation is a little too much for a mix CD, Jon!
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.
'Serenity'
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.

Who was wondering about "Of Montreal"? I downloaded one of their earlier albums off Emusic and was deeply, deeply disappointed, considering how good "Disconnect the Dots" was. They were, I hate to say it, twee. Ugh.
That was me, erinaceous. And yeah, a lot of their earlier stuff might qualify as twee, whatever that is. I didn't think it was my thing at first, but it really grew on me. Which album was it? I love a lot of stuff off the older ones like Cherry Peel, Gay Parade, and Coquelicot. I own Bedside Drama, which probably isn't as twee as the older ones (tommyrot, you heard some of it; chime in), and if you like "Disconnect the Dots," you should love the rest of Satanic Panic; it's great. Though the other songs are more songs than trippy atmospheric jaunts, though in typical Of Montreal fashion, there are some bizarre interludes. But it's more electronic and sample-based than the early stuff. And very catchy. And oh so good. Mmm.
But yeah, if you don't like twee, I guess you should stay away from the earlier albums. Even if there's some brilliant stuff like "Penelope" and fun stuff like "Don't Ask Me to Explain." Ooh, and fun story songs like "Nickee Coco and the Invisible Tree" and "Ira's Brief Life As a Spider."
hums "Jacques Lamure"

Also on [Soundcheck], Brazilian vocalist Cibelle. She serves up tropical electronica inspired by the likes of Nina Simone, Tom Jobim, Bjork, and Ella Fitzgerald, that’s a wide leap from ‘60s bossa nova.
They left out the "samba Nirvana." Seriously, she just covered "About a Girl".

Huh. She's coming to Ann Arbor soon. Or in the next few months, at least.

David, Mick Rock is on Fresh Air. It should be archived later today or tomorrow if you can't listen when it's on. I think you'll like the photo on his homepage.
Iggy's very limber. Ouch.

Oh yeah.

He's very bendy. Remember when Motorbooty did an article about a fake Stooges museum in Detroit where you could get Iggy Salt and Pepper Shakers which poured out of his chest wounds?
I still want those salt and pepper shakers.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
I bet you could talk to the Archie McPhee people and they'd have their guy in China whip them up. I mean, really, who WOULDN'T want Iggy salt and pepper shakers?

If I were a rock star millionaire this is how I would be spending my money.

I'd kind of like to have Iggy containers for my peanut butter and glitter.

Yeah, but with Iggy containers they'd be dispensed through his COCK.
