In other non-cock-related news: I feel like I've had a very productive day. In reality, I've been busy getting things ready to be mailed. Music things. That counts, right?
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

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.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Okay. Fiery Furnaces. Blueberry Boat. I'm not getting it, although "Paw Paw Tree" comes close. Will soldier on. Send reinforcements.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
After a solid week of leaving it at home, I listened to it twice today. It's somewhat like the Who's A Quick One, Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, and Moby Dick, but not really much like any of them. I've read all the lyrics at blueberryboat.com, but I like that the snatches that always reach out & grab me are so impressionistic and disjointed. And the music is still full of the last album's electro-country blues, but it has all kinds of buried curlicues and an incredibly baroque structure that pleases me to no end. Try it with headphones on!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've been playing the shit out of Blueberry Boat. It's weird, but it's my kind of weird. Plus large with the funny.
It does remind me of some Soft Boys songs, like "Wading Though A Ventilator", "Hear My Brane", "The Face of Death" etc. What with the constantly changing melodies and what-not....

Just a drive-by post, but David, it looks like someone is ripping off your Daisy Bang idea: [link]

Heh. I really like the Theme to the Spooky Bunch.
Like a mix of The Munsters theme, Scooby Do and Rocky Horror.
Spooky Bunch lyrics
I feel spooky Crawling up from underground I feel scary Like a monster stomping round I feel horny Like a big rhinoceros I feel kinky Good thing there’s a bunch of usGoing bump in the night Yeah it’s out of sight The Spooky Bunch Yeah yeah The Spooky Bunch Yeah yeah
I feel spooky Like I’m in the house alone I feel creepy Better not pick up the phone I feel lucky Decadent and dangerous It’s so funny Everyone’s afraid of us
Yeah yeah Yeah yeah
Yeah the Spooky Bunch Yeah the Spooky Bunch Yeah the Spooky Bunch Yeah the Spooky Bunch

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
most memorably, the elaborate multisite game launched to promote AI. So where's the Web-based fiction that does more than fool you or stealthily convince you to buy something?
This guy obviously never actually took part in the game, or he'd know it was far, far more than a marketing ploy. It was amazing, immersive, and an ingenious method of using the Web to tell a story. Hell, it even went beyond the Web, integrating phone calls and e-mails as well as real-life gatherings.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Last night I bought a new copy of They Might Be Giants' "Flood". I hadn't listened to it in years. All I can say is I want to be able to utilize the piece of my brain that makes me capable to still know almost every single word. It's not fair. I could be using that bit of brain for good.
