What's the bad in remembering all the words to "Some. One. Keeps. Mo. Ving. My-y-y Chaiiiiiiir."?
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

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 see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Oh no, its not bad. It's just that, for me to literally remember almost an entire album after years, that part of my brain must be very powerful. If I had control over what it knew, just imagine how much better off I'd be!
Because, there's only one thing that I know how to do well, and I've often been told that you only can do what you know how to do well, and that's be you. Be what you're like. Be like yourself. And, so, I'm having a wonderful time, but I'd rather be whistling in the dark.

Perhaps your powerful brain section is remembering those lyrics for a reason. You never know how much truth and knowledge is contained within "Minimum Wage."
I'm moving on to phase 2 of making The Handsome Charlies a Dallas sensation. Bar-owner guy is going to add them- won't know the exact date for a couple of weeks, but I want tons of people to go see them. I figure if I can describe them well enough to make people interested to either come to the show or check them out on the web and then come to the show when they see how totally awesome they are. Is there any of you who are fairly good at describing what a band sounds like who would be willing to give a song or two a listen and help me out with a good description? So far I've been saying punky-poppy, but I'd like something more exciting or accurate than that.

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

If you have to devote your powerful brain section to remembering the lyrics to Minimum Wage, your brain needs to ramp up the juice.

No no, the powerful brain section is remembering the album lyrics on its own. I think it has its reasons.

Yeah, that one took me a while. I think what scared me most was when I knew most of "Letterbox". That one's damn wordy.

Hec, the Dresden Dolls will be playing at Café du Nord (which is where I saw Tegan and Sara!) August 20. Go.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Current listening: a bunch of Fiery Furnaces singles thanks to Soulseek. Right now, their overly chaotic cover of The Fall's "Winter" just ended and their drenched-in-analog-noise cover of the Clash's "One More Time" (which mixes in the dub version, too) is just getting cranked up.

Psych! I love Cafe du Nord. It's in the basement of the Swedish American Hall and it used to be a speakeasy. It's where they hold Dark Sparkle on Wednesdays, and it's also where I like to see Lavay Smith and the Red Hot Skillet Likkers. (Note to Teppy: The Swedish American Hall is where I saw Big Sandy play.)

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Okay, the CD fairy came to my mailbox today! Hec, your package o' wonderful arrived, Thank You! And so did the long-rumored Angus and Moonlit CDs! Yay!
Oh, and Hec, I was playing the Glamourdolls while ripping it, sitting next to LB (who was drawing Batman, as per usual) and he said "this is good Batman music." I believe the song that was playing was "Do You Like Boys." I will let you draw your own conclusions.
Oh, and Friday, while I was on the phone to the OTHER radio host sometimes discussed in this thread (Joe's "favorite"), somebody came up to him and handed him "Blueberry Boat," right as I was talking to him about it. Funny.
