Tom Jones - Sex bomb

That's SIR Tom Jones. Also, I think he says 'infrared semen' which freaks me out a bit.

Top 5 double albums that are better than the White Album

On the way home from Thanksgiving dinner I had to listen to the interminable "White Album Listening Party" on NPR. And I had almost made it the whole year without hearing one fucking Beatles song. Fortunately I made it home before side 2 was complete. Unfortunately I had to hear Paul McCartney completely smarm up perfectly good ska and John Lennon be all pretentious and self-referential.

Anyway, it got me thinking about the top 5 double albums that kick the crap out the White Album. Here they are.

1. London Calling
2. Zen Arcade
3. Quadraphenia
4. Double Nickles on The Dime
5. Live from Budokan

X - The New World

Oh yeah.

DEVO--Uncontrollable urge

Mission of Burma--That's when I reach for my revolver

Attentat--Jag hade en gång en båt

X--White girl

Radio Birdman--What gives?

Timbuktu--Fantasi

Proof that at one time they WERE cool

Waste

pollution is a result of the inability of man to transform waste. the transformation of waste is perhaps the oldest preoccupation of man. gold, being the chosen alloy, must be resurrected--via shit, at all cost. inherent within us is the dream and task of the alchemist.to create from clay a man. and to recapture from the excretions of man pure and soft then solid gold.

Ebba Grön - Were Only In It For The Drugs

This is addictive.

I guess if I were her I'd date her too.
