Sure, this gets posted, but my transgressive reframing of Shoah with 9 hours of “Yakety Sax” just brings lawsuits.

You’re really giving the Kanye’s mom coincidence the time of day? Come the fuck on. (For the record I have enjoyed more Kanye than TS but have no attachment to either.)

Yeah, I assume he thought of the metaphor first and they filled in the justification later.

TBH it sounds like a sweet gig. They do maybe 3 days work in the entire show. Plus there are plenty of them so I'm sure there's no trouble with extended vacations.

It's not exactly that no one else can see him, more that he happens to wander off whenever Barnaby tries to show him to anyone else.

Daniel Pinkwater is a genius. Young Adult Novel messed me up a little bit as I was not yet a Young Adult and didn't expecting that level of gleeful nihilism from the guy who wrote The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death.

I also highly recommend Jansson's books for adults, particularly The True Deceiver and The Summer Book.

Yep (see my avatar).

well one of them just drove a car through a crowd of counterprotesters so maybe that works as proof you disingenuous shithead?

Oboe solo in Roxy Music's "Ladytron." And I second the clavioline in "runaway"

iirc there's some debate about who's responsible for the Sympathy solo.

was gonna mention St Elmo's Fire - splitting ions in the ether

Mama lil's are indeed what's up.

I think it's pretty great, though I can only listen to it at certain times. "Take Care" for example - I don't know if I know of any song that's so brutal and beautiful at once. The tune is so gentle, and the narrator really cares for the person he's singing to, but the message is to be careful not to get in any…

What I find so nifty about Krazy Kat is the way that he combines the odd dialect of Krazy and the short, gruff voices of Ignatz and Pupp with this spacey, rambling, but eloquent narration, eg: http://cowboylands.net/blog…

A couple years I discovered the album cover for Jo Jo Gunne's Jumpin' the Gunne, which if you haven't seen it - well, let's say it's a literal take on the title, done in the most tasteless and bizarre way imaginable: http://www.1973rocknroll.co…

The musical segments that aren't "Fool on the Hill" are great, the other stuff though…

Pretty sure Nasai regularly gets in trouble with the health department too.

This show has such a loathsome name that I've never even given it a chance.

Mekons.
