Iron Butterfly, In a Gadda da-Vida. Or however that's spelled.

I can't imagine how fucked up they must have been when they recorded that song.

There is a Rod Stewart song - my sister and I were watching videos way back when - I think it's called Some Guys Have all the Luck - and we both agreed when we saw it that it was the stupidest song ever. Way to go Rod!

I would also nominate any song from Rent and Sound of Music and come to think of it, Saturday Night Fever.

You need a lesson in sarcasm. PLF is making you look foolish because he most likely already has a huge jazz collection.

Don't go toe-to-toe with him on music. That guy has a huge wealth of knowledge from which to draw, to pummel you over the head with.

Yeh, sarcasm, right, I wonder what that is. Lot of music knowledge. Yup, I can see that.

I've been on the Texas Do Not Call list for about six months and the number of calls from "unknown caller" on my caller ID has dropped considerably in that time. I think maybe I get one or two a month these days, and they all claim that I used one of their services in the past.

Beach Boys: 409

Enjoyable 60s fluff in the tradition of Chuck Berry, but apparently they used all their pennies and dimes on the car, not words for the lyrics.

She's real fine my 409
She's real fine my 409
My 409
Well I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
For I knew there would be a time
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
When I would buy a brand new 409
(409, 409)
Giddy up giddy up giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 40...
Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 409
409 ooooo
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up oooo)
(Giddy up giddy up)
When I take her to the track she really shines
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
She always turns in the fastest times
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
My four speed dual quad posi-traction 409
(409, 409, 409, 409)
Giddy up giddy up giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 409
(Giddy up giddy up 409)
Giddy up 40...
Nothing can catch her
Nothing can touch my 409
(409 409 409 409)
Giddy up 409
(409 409 409 409)
Giddy up 409
(409 409 409 409)

Ohmigod! I do exactly the same thing with the Sound of Music soundtrack. It's like we're two sides of the same coin.

Oh my god, you love the Sound of Music soundtrack? I love it, too! It reminds me of my childhood, when my mother, a former governess, used to make clothes for me and my brother out of old but perfectly good curtains and my father used to call us to dinner with a whistle.

Geez did someone pee in your Cheerios today? Why is everyone so bitchy. Do you people know that it's FRIDAY?
I'm reposting this in hopes of brightening up the place. Maybe some of you should look deeper into why you're in such a bad mood. Remembering that I'm NOT little Mary Sunshine, this is my advice to you people....

June 26 — After two months of gloomy, sodden days, Kristina Goodnough was frazzled and frustrated. The all too familiar feelings of irritability, depression and lethargy that usually plague Goodnough throughout the winter didn’t lift, as they normally do, when spring came. “If the weather doesn’t turn around, I’m going to snap,” says the 53-year-old resident of West Hartford, Conn. “A person with SAD is like a bear that’s been wakened out of hibernation,” says Dr. Martin Rosenzweig, a clinical associate in psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. “You’d expect him to be hungry, grumpy and out of sorts — not very functional and you wouldn’t want to mess with him.”

stop yer bitchin

The problem with setting up straw men and knocking them down is that you begin to look a little silly because everybody knows that it is not very difficult to defeat straw, given that straw is inanimate and generally innocuous.

Of course some bands are in small clubs because they suck. And some are there because they have little commercial potential, but are still quite good. And some are there because, even though they have comercial potential, this comercial potential has not been tapped yet. Some of these latter bands suck and some do not. I am not saying that you should only go to small clubs to see bands. I'm not saying that no commercially-accepted bands are worthwhile. I am making a different point. A point about actually LISTENING to music instead of just wading into the tepid and stagnant waters of all the music you remember from when you were thirteen. Your soul will drown in those waters. I am also making a point about peaches.

Now, I would love to write here all day, providing tips about how you all can lead happier and more fulfilling lives by being more like me, but I am an extremly busy and important attorney, so you are going to have to take the advice I have given you so far and fend for yourselves. Good luck.

Hallelujah! Amen! Praise be PLF!

I've been bitching at my wife for years about how all she and her friends want to listen to is campy 80s shit. Instead of listening to music for music's sake, I think these chicks use tunes as a sort of time machine to rewind to high school memories of getting cracked on shnapps stolen from dad's liquor cabinet, skinny dipping at (insert friend who's folks were in Europe for two weeks)'s home and then losing their virginity to (insert random guy who happened to be staying at house) before puking all over themselves. All I can do when I hear Rio by Duran Duran is flashback to trying to get in my then girlfriend's pants. Those memories, while amusing, do not make Rio a better song. I think the folks who love the 80s shit don't listen to the music at all.

HOWEVER, I would rather listen to 80s tunes than the flaccid product-rock of the last few years. MTV2 is polluted with awful bands either trying the rap/metal thing or the Creed thing. Its like there are 50 Limp Bizkits and 50 Stone Temple Pilots that make up modern rock. I guess that's an improvement from horrible sackless drivel like the Gin Blossoms and Matchbox 20, but its still crap. What kind of mind buys a Creed cd? I mean, really, what the hell is the matter with you? Do you not know just how utterly atrocious and comically bad that stuff is? If you want to hear real rock, turn off your fucking radio, drive to Tower and pick up the following:

Queens of the Stone Age
Kyuss
Sublime
White Stripes
MC5
Bad Brains
Libertines
Hell, even buy the Pearl Jam stuff

Just please, please stop listening to these idiot bands like POD, AFI, Train and all these other prepackaged STP/Pearl jam/Limp Bizkit soundalikes.

"The Rythym is Gonna Get You" by Gloria Estefan

Thank you - fortunately the following song is actually the one in my head right now, and is not soon to be dislodged.

Baby on Board -by the B-Sharps

Baby on Board,
How I've adored,
That sign on my car's windowpane.
Bounce in my step,
Loaded with pep,
'Cause I'm drivin' in the carpool lane.
Call me a square,
Friend, I don't care,
'Cause that little yellow sign can't be ignored.
I'm tellin' you it's mighty nice.
Each trip's a trip to paradise,
With my baby on board


My favorite Simpsons song after Happy Birthday Burnsie by the Ramones. I am glad Paigow is not around so I can be unoriginal.

Did anybody else laugh when they saw this?

I know, I know, laughing at puns, even unintentional (?) ones, is so unoriginal.

Some of you east-coasters will soon have the opportunity so catch a great band in an arena setting. I've never been much of a Pearl Jam fan, but they tend to hire great opening acts; either one of their heros (e.g., X, Buzzcocks) or a good band that usually plays clubs. This time around it's Sleater-Kinney (a band that happens to call my fair city home). You should go see them. NYC on July 9; Boston on July 11; Hershey PA on July 12; Holmdel, NJ (wherever the fuck that is) on July 14.

Sleater-Kinney rawks.
