Bow before me, suckas! C'mon, just a little bit of bowing?

Is the straight-haired kid name Kearny, or am I thinking of someone else?

The Stone Roses - Elizabeth My Dear

Simply Red - Money's Too Tight to Mention

Edited because I totally just remembered the last one, and I was all, better post, but then I was all, Wait, I just posted, and then I was all, Crap.

The Punch the Clock reissue rocks me six ways from Sunday.

Merry Christmas, and may the New Year see you and your families well and happy. I don't post much, but I really love coming to the board and hearing about you guys. So, please, keep discussing, informing and arguing. 'Cause it's fantastic.

My holiday cheer is all used up now.

Oh, Jesus. I hoped it was just a rumor.

Maybe they'll have a big Gary Peacock-style blowout on stage. Now that would be cool.

Yay! I want them to have babies!

Love Del Amitri. One of those bands that never really got noticed in the States except for the Roll To Me single, which isn't really representative of them. Oh, Del Amitri.

It's based on biorhythms or something, isn't it?

No big deal. I'm from New England, where we call everybody 'guys,' so I should be used to it.

No problem, it was fun. Hope everyone enjoyed indulging my dorkiness.

(Laughing Crow, I dig the compliments, but I must beg to differ with the term 'bloke,' as I am merely a bird with an androgynous and unpronounceable screen name.)

Quiz has been updated. Go nuts.

I only kid because I love.

Edited because my brain is fried and HTML is smacking me around.

Well, I could hunt down some new images and add more questions to the quiz in order to show Mr. Costello in a more complex light. I'm not all that happy with the original images anyway (I suck at Photoshop), and the answers could have been funnier. I was far, far too wordy.

I pondered putting up God Created Woman, because the narrator in No Woman's Flesh isn't really badass so much as tortured and haunted, but the song scares the bejesus out of me nevertheless. I once spent a day with the jukebox in my head switching between Worried Mind and Simon and Garfunkel. That w...

I would say almost everybody in Johnny Dowd songs, but No Woman's Flesh But Hers is especially frightening to me. three years now she's been in a coma in a hospital in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma I go to visit her three times every week each time I leave I kiss her on the cheek no woman's flesh but hers ...

"I don't want French fried potatoes, red ripe tomatoes,
I'm never satisfied
I want the frim fram sauce with the oss and fay

Oh my, the professor. I am pleased. But my coconut radio gets really lousy reception.

I went to school not far from Toledo, Ohio. I always sang Toledo in the car when I spotted the name on an exit sign. This soon became extremely annoying to anyone who happened to be in the car with me. On to Clown Strike... I *heart* the bass line on this song. It's my favorite kind of Costello love...
