I heard They Might Be Giants on the PA at a grocery store. Istanbul (Not
Constantinople) at that.

Of course, then they played Heaven Is A Place On Earth, to which I
improvised an extraordinarily gay little dance that I believe has a couple
of my coworkers fearing for their safety. But hey, I heard TMBG in a fuckin'
grocery store! Cool!

Well, I heard Renaldo & The Loaf on a Metro bus yesterday! Sure, I was
wearing headphones & playing my IPod, but still...

Actually, I would've started a new thread with nearly the same subject
header had not Dougie beat me to it (*fucker*...), so here goes...

******************************************************

HOLY FUCKIN' POOP!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna C&P from an e-mail I just received from "United Musicians:

Aimee Mann Newsletter

Aimee Mann songs have a literary quality to them--sharp, short stories set
to music--so it was probably inevitable that she would one day make a
concept album, the musical equivalent of a novella. The Forgotten Arm, her
fifth solo release, is exactly that: a dozen songs that tell, rather
loosely, the story of John and Caroline as they meet, fall in love and road
trip across America.

The Forgotten Arm is in stores May 3rd but if you pre-order at
aimeemann.com you will have the option to receive a limited edition large
format oversize 32 page lyric book with all the illustrations and photos
from the album



Listen to the The Forgotten Arm now at www.aimeemann.com

Three new songs posted every Tuesday

***************************************************



Whee? You'd better believe it, Boo-Boo...

Somebody at the store bought a bottle of Rinaldo wine tonight. Does that
count? Also, a couple weeks ago, a guy was buying about six gallons of booze
and fuck knows how much evil party food. I asked if I could go back to his
house. He said "Sure, it would be great to have you, Meat Loaf!"

I really need to drop a few pounds. Two outta three ain't bad my ASS.

No, fuck HIM. Or whoever. I'm not sure anymore. Just call me Mr. Loaf.

Only to ten, Mudhead (J.D. and Wilcher will get that).

I also feel a need to point out (although I know I have before) That "Songs
for Swinging Larvae" (by R&tL) is maybe the most aggressively *stupid* album
ever made, so much so that it's actually fuckin' *beautiful*...

What a fuckin' asshole. I mean, if ya know somebody, it's one thing, but
that is a very thoughtless, mean thing for that guy to say. Fuck him in the

I haven't listened to it since you sent me a transfer. I just pulled it out
for later reference. It IS fucking insane, I do remember that.

Nah, he wans't my type. Besides, I about shit myself laughing. Especially
since no one else around got it. Ever have to explain who Meat Loaf is to a
clueless 22-year old and a 50-year old Jesus freak?

I listened to it again today, and...uh..."fucking insane" is an attribute
more applicable to the Weather Channel in comparison to this bizarre load of
psychotic skullfuckery. I must have been zoned out in some kind of bad
bourbon haze when I listened to this album before, because it should have
made a MUCH stronger first impression.

If The Residents suddenly decided that their entire back catalog had been a
weak experiment in cloning 1910 Fruitgum Company outtakes and it was time to
record something REALLY weird, then got hired by David Lynch to provide the
score to a sequel to Eraserhead filmed from inside Raoul Duke's kit bag, it
would STILL sound like Jewel on Prozac next to Renaldo & The Loaf. Come to
think of it, this shit sounds like the stuff I used to do on my four-track
ten years ago. I'd forgotten just how beautifully annoying a ring modulator
could be. Boom boom crash crash, motherfucker. Metal Machine Music? Shit,
that's goddamn folk music, you puss.

In other words, buy one now.

You too, eh? I have to admit that as far as shit jobs go, this one is pretty
reasonable - most the people I work with are cool and the management have
been good to me - but it's still goddamn demoralizing. The only difference
between me and the 16-year old kid that started last night is that I've got
five months seniority on him and I don't mind collecting trash every night.
"Ugh, that's gross." Yeah, that's why they make SINKS, motherfucker. You're
a goddamn bagger in a grocery store, don't pretend you're too good to do
trash, because it's obvious to everyone who can read a name tag that we are
NOT.Now stop putting cans in with the bread and help me bag these 786 jars
of baby food. What kid eats all this shit at once?

Don't get me started,
Dougie
(A little tip for y'all that I stole from George Carlin - next time a bagger
asks you "Paper or plastic?" reply, "Rolled steel, please."

I heard "Vanishing Girl" by the Dukes of Stratosphear in an Eddie Bauer
store last September.
I half expect to hear something by them at the grocery store, since they
already play more '60s psych stuff than anyone in their right mind would
ever expect to hear in a place like that. It's really weird. I'll be shoving
a spoon up my ass while Wake Me Up Before You Go Go is on (because if I'm
going to hurt that much, I'm going to do it to myself) and next thing you
know, on comes Journey To The Center Of Your Mind or Blue Cheer doing
Summertime Blues. Time Has Come Today maybe. We've got this weird mix of
'80s shit (well, some shit and some decent stuff, which is more than I can
say when they were running nothing but '80s music and it all seemed to be
one big Rick Astley/Tiffany marathon) and '60s stuff. I was hearing the
Beach Boys every third song for a few nights straight, and I WON'T complain
about that. But to hear They Might Be Giants anywhere other than my own
house or between PBS Kids shows kinda freaks me out.

I once heard a rather safe, formulaic radio station play Neil Young's Crime
In The City, all eight minutes of it. I heard that the DJ nearly got fired
for that. :)
