Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Please please please???
It's really moody. Sure. I'm making an effort this month to make good on all my promised musical and CARE package mailings. Most of which are all-but-mailed. But that's where all my good intentions go. It's a kind of purgatory.

This is random, but I finally bought "American Idiot." (Which, incidentally, lives up to the hype, if you like this sort of thing at all.)
The funny thing is -- I had always assumed the lyric was "Maybe I am a fucking American," because it's bleeped on radio and starts with "f", right?
It's not. It's "faggot."
I did not know that was a word that needed to be censored.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Sure -- you say the word on the radio and next thing you know they want to marry each other!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Heh. I happened to read Jon's post right as I was thinking about the Scissors Sisters, and "Tits on the Radio" suddenly earwormed me. Things got even stranger from there.
Belated birthday happies to Jon - sorry I couldn't make it Sunday, but I really needed to spend the day getting the new digs into some state of order.

Good write-up for the book in the North Bay Bohemian
Also, a lovely review of X's The Unheard Music, which has finally been released on DVD. (It is, in my opinion, one of the greatest rock movie ever made. Definitely top five.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Same thing happened to me, Lyra. As far as censoring it, it's a derogatory term like "nigger," and we censor that, right?
My favorite censoring is a line from Dynamite Hack's cover of "Boyz in the Hood."
I reached back like a pimp and I slapped the ho

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The stupidist censorship was MTV forcing the band James to change their lyrics - the line was "She only comes when she's on top" and they made them change "comes" to "sings".
Especially annoying, because MTV can show women in skimpy outfits in videos, and guys can sing about bitches and hos, but they can't sing about a woman having an orgasm?

Sure. I'm not honestly surprised radio stations would bleep faggot (I think it's unnecessary editing, but suspect Michael Powell would disagree), it's just that it's not the f-word I suspect most people who hear the song on the radio or MTV expect.
That whole Dynamite Hacks song is hysterical.

I remember that. And then, I think MTV only showed that video at night anyhow. Which is too bad, because it was fantastic -- pretty English men in housedresses and wigs, plus the song is one of my favorite one-hit wonders from that era.
(Does James count as a one-hit wonder in America? I know they had a second song on the radio and --I think -- played Woodstock '95 and stuff, but I doubt most people would remember anythiing about them except "Laid.")
