Sorry you’re so tired, AndiF! Better rest up for the long drive to Cincy! Nice list, most of it I don’t know, but from the ones I do know I’m guessing overall it’s pretty mellow.
I have no reason to be tired but I have a huge desire to go to sleep.
Yeah, the list is mostly mellow, at least in the sense that there’s nothing loud or really rocking.
My kinda list, and…
Don’t resist the urge to rest!
(I think I’m up on the Joseph Campbell “follow your bliss thing” here. Feel free to quote me!)
Just wondering how a nice chilled glass would feel on my hot raspy throat? Will the alchohol kill the germs down there?
with the right drugs, you won’t care if the germs die or not.
That’s all the encouragement I need!
As someone once said, what doesn’t kill you only makes you feel stronger! And I agree w/Andi, if you combine the wine with the right drugs, you won’t care you’re sick!
I’ve missed ya lately hon… we haven’t closed down the FBL together in a long time!
Thanks, IVG! Finishing up the daily ration of chilled chardonnay, I certainly haven’t noticed any harmful effects… yet.
My son and I are currently watching the Pink Panther remake… stupid, stupid, stooopid… but DOES make one appreciate the inestimable Peter Sellers. It’s kind of a conundrum since you have to know the original to get the jokes but if you know the original, you know that his doesn’t even come close…
I figured since that PP movie kept getting its release date changed, it must have been a stinker. Which was confirmed when they finally let it out of the can… What a waste of a good Steve Martin.
Then again, who am I to judge? I thought Super Troopers which we watched last weekend was a total hoot! And then again… I adored Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle as well… no accounting for taste.
Do yourself a favor and get THIS from the video store this weekend, but make sure you ONLY get the NC-17 version, not the R rated one!
😉
Well if that prompts worries, you better stock up on the hair coloring, because those are pretty mild choices for me. Hehe. I’m a connoisseur of the bizarre, outrageous and just plain weird stuff. That only scratches the surface. But A Dirty Shame is a hilarious movie … best John Waters has done in several years.
Especially if recommended by someone who agrees that PP is a total piece of shit. Though… earning a few chuckles from my son, I might add.
I’m a connoisseur of the bizarre, outrageous and just plain weird stuff.
We’ve kinda figured that out … you’ve been revealing pieces of your inner wierdness all along … just don’t spring the big one on us all at once, keep it gradual like you’ve been doing … 🙂
And I can’t imagine what you’ll link when you get hi speed. 😛
I know! What are we going to do about this guy?
Try that movie… that will change his perspective on comedy, heheh.
You’ll keep him line, right? 🙂
Don’t know that this is a one woman job, O!
The whole cafe might have to be involved … 🙂

This should clear up any confusion about my sexuality. Or will it?
Impatiens
larger
but I can — inadequately — play her. Yes, it does settle it. The gaydar is having a seismic reaction — it’s registering full flirt mode.
I don’t think it’s me who’s confused about your sexuality. ;p
:::sigh::: our little futon tryst remains but a distant dream.
when I’m glad to see Marilyn Manson so I know more than just Anita Baker and the Guess Who.
Is this a throw your FRT over the wall and retire type evening or are sticking around for a bit?
You must at least recognize the DK!
::hangs head::
I’ve heard the name. I know absolutely nothing about their music.
With Punk you can always fake it, just think incoherent yelling with thrashing guitars and a bad attitude.
lol, exactly right.
I am only halfway functional, so more of the former than the latter.
But putting American Woman in there just jogged a brain cell in my hot (due to weather) head…
American Woman Butthole Surfers
Sometimes (I Feel Like Fletcher Christian Mekons
Hamburger Martyr Killdozer
K-Mart Wardrobe Was (not Was)
Goo Goo Muck The Cramps
Flashback Danielle Dax
Detroit Rock City KISS

This Flight Tonight Joni Mitchell
That last one is dedicated to my favorite Andi! (Ok, so she’s the only one I know, but I still consider her my favorite!)
since the Joni Mitchell is the only song I know on your list.
Didn’t want you to think you were left out in my random thoughts! I do have a folkie secret past ya know … before I morphed (but I still love that stuff, to wit, my comment downthread to Raging Hippie about the McGarrigles.)
Is “Too Drunk to Fuck” a sequel to the Jimmy Buffett classic “Let’s Get Drunk and Screw?”

I love that Queen song.
I hope you’re starting to feel better. Queen is just fabulous. Good music and one of rock’s great voices in the late great Freddie Mercury.
Hello everybody. I don’t have a top ten yet. I’m running real slow this afternoon and I’ll put together one in a little while.
It’s because you and your friends have been busy.
I’m too lazy to do a FRT anyway, so I did a FRFlower.
Me and my friends busy. Do what ya got to not to have a headache. 🙂
How’re ya doing this pm?
I”m doing well – no more headache!
No more headache. You must have had a busy schedule. 🙂
I have friends too.
Ya gotta have friends. 🙂
I certainly don’t have as many as you. I have yet to achieve that level of enlightenment.
I must still be worn out, because I’m lost. 🙂
Whatcha got going this weekend? Looks like it’s going to be in the 90s here so I’ll be hanging around in the AC all day.
I think family might be coming in, but I’m not sure.
I think I’m going back to nap land for while, see ya’ll later.
Be sure to hang out at katiebird’s cafe. I feel bad that it’s her first (well first substituting for maryb) and I won’t be here.
I’m so glad she’s coming back. I missed her. I’m sure I won’t be able to play Andi with any authenticity, but I can be authentically annoying as myself. I’ll stop in for coffee and a cinnamon roll with extra cream cheese frosting.

Nice to see you pop in! Putting Anna McGarrigle on there made me think of a review I read today Rufus Wainwright Does Judy Garland Concert .
I learned from this that he’s the son of Kate McGarrigle! And I’ve had their music since oh, about the last ice age back in the 70’s. Somewhere in the stacks of vinyl I still have a very good copy of Dancer With Bruised Knees which was their first (or maybe second) album. Been meaning to tell Andi this for ages, but now you got me reminded. Thanks!
How’s life treating the Raging one tonight?
a love for both Joni Mitchell and the McGarrigles. Do you have the McGarrigle Hour CD — if not, you should get it. The whole family is on it (Kate, Anna, Loudon, Rufus, Martha)
Yup, that. And dogs. And critters. And the woods. And yours and Jim’s photography. Good enough for me!
The Anna McGarrigle tune is from the soundtrack to “The Squid and the Whale,” which is a way damn cool soundtrack album. The movie’s worth watching, too–but I knew halfway through the film that I had to have the soundtrack.
As for life and everything, well, I’m just grateful that a cold front whooshed through today and took the edge off Denver’s June heat wave. Hot weather makes me very testy.
Yeah, I’ve been getting reports of that weather from dada lately. Well if it’s any consolation hon, we have your heat now. And supposedly (and I’ll believe it when I see it) tomorrow is supposed to be cool and rainy. Screws up my weeding plans, but everything is so parched here that even with my watering, stuff is wilting horridly.
I hope you get more rain than we did. Just a quick splash and out of town she blew.
they are either folks that I have too (etta james, kate & anna mcgarrigle, phil ochs, r.e.m, richard thompson) or I’ve never heard of them (except aimee mann whom I know thanks to BtVS)
There are quite a few songs that reside on my iPod because I heard ’em on a Buffy ep. Hell, there’s a Buffy ep on my iPod (“Once More With Feeling”).
Dead Can Dance is required listening for Pagans (along with Loreena McKennitt). Leftover Salmon is required listening for Colorado hippies.
Why are Dead Can Dance or McKennitt required listening for Pagans?
McKennitt’s music incorporates quite a lot of Celtic mythology. Dead Can Dance also work with mythological themes. And it’s all very trance-y stuff.
It is celtic music as well or just using celtic mythology?
How’d your erranding go?
to tell you about my haircut!?!
Just making sure you’re okay after it, that’s all … 😉
McKennitt’s music is Celtic-inspired, I’d say, but she does her own thing. Very ethereal stuff.
One of the NPR stations Andi and I listen to has a locally produced show that usually focuses on local (there’s a real surprise) but nongovernmental issues. Today, Sir Paul McCartney’s 64th birthday, the topic was the worst pop songs ever. Among the nominees in the order I remember them were:
Having My Baby
Muskrat Love
MacArthur Park
Achy Breaky Heart
Macarena
Young Girl
Seasons in the Sun
Ebony and Ivory
And a bunch of others that I have banished from my memory.
But I have a question for the FBC crowd. What song would nominate for membership in the worst pop song list?
I’ll nominate the 1968 classic of bubble gum rock “Yummy, Yummy, Yummy (I Got Love in My Tummy).”
Anyone? Anyone?
I hereby nominate My Pal Foot Foot by THE SHAGGS. Ashamed to say I actually own this oddity, but it was a gift of dubious distinction aimed at my irony meter at the time….
Actually owning a POS pop song earns you bonus points in my scoring system. Somewhere in our ancient LP collection I think “Muskrat Love” lurks.
I shudder to think that Andi ever listened to that song! Must have been one of yours to have Captain and Tenille around the house.
However, C just informed me that we have Menudo vinyl in our house. It’s not mine. I don’t know where it is. I don’t want to know where it is!
Our record collection had merged a few years before the C&T virus hit.
Oh Mickey, you’re so fine
You’re so fine, you blow my mind
Hey Mickey! Hey Mickey!
I hated Toni Basil for 10 years for that damn song.
Indy, you’re right… that is truly wretched. Now the damn thing is stuck in my head!
I still think The Shaggs can top it, but I’ll have to wait to find out, since I need to take leave now. C just got home and I need to find out if we’re entertaining the former neighbor kid tonight on his 21st birthday (I am hoping NOT), who has been promised his very first Hendricks martini…
See all you rowdy ones later! Ciao for now…
It’s just cruel how the worst songs are the ones that become earworms. I’ve been humming Young Girl in my head since you posted it. Nothing like an ode to pedophilia.
what, you don’t like Gary Fuckett and You-Puke Gap?
I forgot to mention that earwormosity was a requirement for consideration on the list.
Oops.
“Having My Baby” is about as bad as it gets. But “The Night Chicago Died” is pretty awful.
Back during my brief tenure as a DJ at a country station, I used to subject my poor listeners to the Waylon Jennings cover of “MacArthur Park” when I needed a bathroom break. It was the only country song I could find that was longer than two and a half minutes.
should go on.
Oh no doubt, those are worthy contenders but “Only In America” has to be up there on the list somewhere.
There are some that should be on any worst list, but aren’t. For instance the Flying Lizards’ version of “Summertime Blues” and “Money” are so bad and unlistenable they actually go straught through the Pinth-Garnell Event Horizon and come out the other side.
Every so often Doctor Demento plays a bunch of really bad stuff. William Shatner doing “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” is a perennial favorite. One year he had a bunch of songs that came under the heading of “What Were They Thinking?” which included the Who’s “Cobwebs and Strange.” “We can’t be sure what The Who were thinking when they recorded that song,” he said, “but by all accounts they had a great time marching around the studio playing their instruments.”
to the Annoying Music Show?
No, but it sounds like my cup of pencil shavings. 🙂
Stars On The Water – Rodney Crowell
Cobwebs and Strange – The Who
Harden My Heart – Quarterflash
Suzanne – Leonard Cohen
Yakko’s World – The Animaniacs
Welcome To The Machine – Pink Floyd
Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine – Country Joe and the Fish
Montana – Frank Zappa
Take Me Back To Tulsa – Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys
One Of The Fortunate Few – Delbert McClinton
How’s that?
Bonus points for having Pink Floyd and Bob Wills on the same list.
Hey, one of my favorite tracks is the Austin Lounge Lizards’ bluegrass version of Brain Damage.
Just in case anybody stop by, the 24/7 Lounge is open.
