t trying hard to hold my tongue
I'd rather support Moog's company or the soon-to-be-established foundation in Moog's memory than some dude looking to cash in on Moog's death.

To clarify, I find the content a bit tasteless as well, but there have been many deaths for which I've passed on a tasteless joke, so I can't criticize. What I object to is the profiteering.
After having heard Rhett Miller tell the story of Black Francis hearing and liking Satellite Rides, I think of him as Charles now. As in "It's sort of like the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, you know? I mean, Kurt Cobain is dead. And even if he wasn't, he'd defer to Charles, because he was in the fuckin' Pixies!"
Martha Wainwright's stuff is good if folkier than Rufus's. (And yes, he is quite the showman.) She's better live than on record so far, I think: I haven't been crazy about the production on her CDs.
Insent and thanks, Hec - as Sugar Shock is about the only tape I own that MrsJim genuinely loves, that'll be a present fot both of us. When I remember and am at home, I'll send the Chris Morris Pixies parody to Buffistarawk.
Ah-ha-ha, Ah-ha-ha, muy Madre es un Whora/Ah-ha-ha, Ah-ha-ha Muy Espanol es muy Pora.

Funny as hell (as well as a dead-on parody). But definitely NSFW.
Have they got the REM Whale one? I think that's if possible even funnier.
No, but you might want to look at the third thing on the list on that page I linked to above.
Yeah, I will - I had never heard of him before, and he sounds amazing.
is it my turn for Buffistarawk's unconventional love songs yet? I finally figured out what I'm putting up ...
Thanks so much for that "Pixies" song!
I will, though it's not an unconventional love song, post the REM one.
Huh. The Lothars are an Editor's Choice on the front page of AllMusic.com today. Refresh the page a few times if it doesn't come up right away.
This explains why the Lothars website generated two sales this AM....
