sure snack?

Apr 09, 2006 22:53

Okay, so this is still boggling my mind. This is a direct screen capture, from when I was earlier updating my Amazon feed-the-Nema list. (Hey, they added stuph, and I was bored. What can I say?)



Say what now? Yuban, okay. Snack chips, I get. SURE DEODORANT?!? Since WHEN is Sure Deodorant a snack food???

So they're doing punk this week over on audiography, and I'm so frustrated that nobody's posting any FEAR. I'd post some if I had any in electronic form. Maybe that's part of the frustration.

But someone posted some Subhumans, and it flashed me back to my Alternative Tentacles car tape, featuring that same exact song.

Turns out Wiki's just like eBay--you can find anything on there. Including the tracklist, plus a little history behind, Let Them Eat Jellybeans.

Damn. Good stuph. Tasty early underground punk, yo. (Though, considering I first got the tape in 1986, a few years after its release, it was still pretty damned fresh and current and new.)

You don't want to know what I was searching for originally...but does it worry anyone else that a company called Texas Correctional Industries sells bullwhips? Is this a facet of Texas prison life of which I am unaware?

Also...yes, guys, I'm still working on the Year in the Life plot, but I may have to--at some future point--write a story around this song.

Or, well, maybe I already did that with my Jay-as-Rentboy epic. Unfinished epic. Damn it, where are my Russian notes...

Also? This blend of the Scissor Sisters and the Electric Light Orchestra works better than it has a right to. In fact--this is the really sad part--I actually like it better than the original. Somehow, the moody building orchestration really works when the original vocals are slowed down. Came from a fan site, the ELO Network.

Couple more fashion shots, 'cos my usual source has been slow to update.




Be the best-dressed cultists on your block.

Guys? Really. Just a little color, would it have killed you?

This one's just...odd to look at. It almost looks like someone's standing behind her, with a larger green garment, holding out their arms. Headless.

While she's standing there smiling in that kicky red tunic, armless.

That's...really odd.

Thing is, I kinda like the green part of it. I just don't like the red bit.

*looks at pic again*

Really, really odd.

Hmm. Nope, still positive that Sure shouldn't be a snack food. Baaaad idea for a snack food.
