Yeah. It's just too quiet and I can't keep from thinking, so instead I'm going to go through some of the random music in here.


Hey, Gogo, there's a band called Fast Food Rockers. Which reminds me, we need to go to McDonald's again. "Say Cheese" (lyrics) ...soon.

This is supposedly from some opera or something. Maybe I should start going to the opera, because I can't help but find myself agreeing especially with the 'act of love' line. "Every Last Motherfucker Should Go Down" (lyrics)

Okay, what is it with all the Nick Cave shit here? Is there some law that EVERY FUCKING BROADCAST has to have at least one Nick Cave song? Did he go here or something?
Nick Cave and Anita Lane, "Bedazzled" (lyrics)

Elfen Lied, "Lilium" (lyrics). Latin? We've got songs in Latin here? The layers of pretension really just do keep SPIRALLING TOGETHER here, don't they?

I know I've heard this song on WART. At least twice. But apparently some guy called Paul Westerberg ran out of his own spewings and decided to inflict his mangling of it on us all. "Make Your Own Kind of Music" (lyrics)

And while we're on the subject of derivative imbeciles regurgitating the bland gruel they've spent their lives absorbing, here's Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, "Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard" (lyrics)

It's just ever so lovely to hear Dar Williams rambling about how "Southern California Wants to Be Western New York" (lyrics). Sheep! Who cares what herd you're in if YOU'RE STILL SHEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And from the "I am a unique and precious individual just like all my friends!" bullshit section, Fountains of Wayne "Red Dragon Tattoo" (lyrics)

Okay, what's this... Birthday Massacre's "Video Kid" (lyrics)

...

*sound of CD being splintered with a certain oft-seen hammer*

*semi-coherent cursing and shrieking as the next string of tracks is played without comment*

Donna the Buffalo "Living in Babylon"

Amen "TV Womb"


O.T Quartet "Hold That Sucker Down [Built Like a Skyscraper Remix]"

They Might Be Giants, "For Science" (lyrics)

Kaiser Chiefs, "Na Na Na Na Naa"

Summer At Shatter Creek, "Worlds Away"

E-Type, "Life"

David Bowie and Trevor Jones, "Magic Dance" (lyrics)

*deep breath*

I never knew there was a band called Defenestration. It's a good word. Too Hopeful "Thrill Of The Chase"

And for the numerous woe-is-me types with your hands stapled to your foreheads, these are JUST FOR YOU!

Wumpscut's "Wreath of Barbs" (lyrics)

Rasputina "Mama Was an Opium-Smoker" (lyrics)

Node Out, "Everyone's Free (To Wear Black") (lyrics)

Groove Coverage, "Poison" (lyrics)

Marianne Faithfull, "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" (lyrics)

Emiliana Torrini, "Gollum's Song"

Remember, kids, Rippy the Razor says "it's down the road, not across the street"!

Anyway, the next regular broadcast is Gogo and Professor Lupin, so whine to them if there's something specific your little world hinges up inflicting on us all.

johnny c, radio
