![The Rod Blagojevich “[expletive] Golden” Mix](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1400577_lg.jpg)
Everyone in Illinois knows that Blagojevich is a horrible governer and a gigantic asshole but the last couple days have still been shocking. Reading some of stuff this guy said = non-stop LOLs. The man can sure wear those tight blue pants , though. So naturally, I've taken a few of my favorite Blago quotes and made a mix out of them. "It's got to be good stuff for the people of Illinois and good for me…It's got to be good or I could always take [the Senate seat]." MP3 Lykke Li - [...]
We think we know what we're doing We don't pull the strings. It's all in the past now Money changes everything. -The Brains-"Money Changes Everything" (1979) No matter how good people feel about "Joe The Plumber" being totally discredited the ice cold fact of the matter is that there are literally millions of real Joes in the United States. They've been screwed by the Democrats and screwed by the Republicans (and those are just two very easy to find examples). Yet both parties still claim the [...]

The Flying Lizards - Sex Machine
The above lesson on the nuances of mythological avarice is the reader's introduction into "Captain Marvel Fights the Menace of Greed" from Captain Marvel Adventures #111 (August 1950). The story is a quaint piece of agitprop crafted to evangelize on behalf of the post-WW2 "enlightened" variety of capitalism while dispelling any lingering spectres of Depression Era socialist agitation. While popular mythology might lead one to think that the national consensus of the World War II period continued unbroken though the mid-1960's, the truth is that the immediate post-war years were a time of rampant labor unrest.

Summer has finally arrived, and so here are a few versions of Eddie Cochran's seasonally appropriate Summertime Blues . First a video of The Who doing it at Monterey: Of course, I can't leave out the most rocking cover version of them all: Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues (MP3). Mick Farren of Deviants fame also did a great take on this classic: Mick Farren - Summertime Blues (MP3). Instead of trying to [...]
I have spent way too much time playing Dino Run today. So much so that you're getting a quick entry, a track I've enjoyed for nearly 30 years. Hands 2 Take is a typically deadpan piece of arty post-punk pop from The Flying Lizards , a band led by David Cunningham, and occasionally featuring musicians such as the improvisers David Toop and Steve Beresford and theorist and composer Michael Nyman. It's music that's fun in both theory and practice, filling the sonic spectrum with sounds and ideas. And now I [...]

I have TONS of shit lined up right now. Yay! Or nay. A sailboat on a rocky sea, something that invokes Hemmingway. A painting of Joe Montana (for mister sportsfreak who's become a big time patron) and some stuff for a couple charity deals. I'm hoping to hear back from this one, it's a great [...]

Ron and Art and Wig In a recent Dugout Chatter , we asked for thoughts on Ron Wood's most memorable musical moment. Townswoman Sally C suggested an obscure Quiet Melon number, "Engine 4444" , and she followed up her suggestion with these notes and a track for us to enjoy. Quiet Melon, "Engine 4444" The Flying Lizards forever... [...]
Yes, Dearest Friends, that is me you see to the left, whoring myself unashamedly. I have become a brazen strumpet, standing on the corner of Independence Avenue and Groovy Musique Street, offering myself up to all who will pay. But it is for a good cause. Scratch that, it is for (as they say frequently here in North America) an awesome cause. You see, the most excellent DJ Colleen Crumbcake , curatrix of the wonderful Sandy Acres Sound Lab on East Village Radio , needs to raise sufficient funds by month-end to [...]
Woah! The Flying Lizards er eitt mesta snilldarband sem ég hef óvart rekist á... evör! Á miðjum safndiski sem átti að innihalda italo og gamalt rafmagn rakst ég á þetta breska experimental rokkband sem koveraði allskonar lög í þeirra mjög svo ódramatíska og beint-í-smettið stíl. Frekar róleg og "áhugalaus" bresk kona hálf-talar yfir frekar róbótízkt undirspil, spilað af gaurum sem eru eiginlega jafn áhugalausir og þeir eru hæfileikaríkir. Sem er s.s. mjög, mjög mikið. Fyrsta lagið sem ég heyrði með þessari hljómsveit og vissi hvað ég var að hlusta á, var koverið þeirra af [...]
While the British media are openly speculating on how many hours we have until Bush launches an attack on Iran , USA TODAY's founder Al Neuharth finally put GW Bush on the list of all time worst presidents. More on that in a minute, but first y'all get yourselves in the mood with some thematic Presidentially relevant tuneage... Paula Cole - My Hero Mr President Slackers - International War Criminal [...]
happy v-day, everybody. here's some tuneage to get yer favorite fuck buddy in the mood. Richard Hell and The Voidoids "Love Comes in Spurts" The Flying Lizards "Sex Machine" (James Brown Cover) DJ Zebra "C'Mon Fuck Me"
The Flying Lizards - Lovers And Other Strangers and Move On Up . I was about to post only the first song of the Fourth Wall album, "Lovers And Other Strangers", a true hit not far from Family Fodder or Tom Tom Club ones, but I couldn't resist to this brilliant cover of Curtis Mayfield. (Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for this post title "joke". I don't even know what it's about) Get it at gemm .
This month's DJ comp harkens all the way back to 2001 (and 21 years further back from there), from the late great program Rhubarb Cake . Here is Douglas' marathon premium from that year, titled Obey The New Wave - 1980 and all that-- UK DIY, etc. Here's how Douglas described it at the time: 23 blurts of intense, delicious, mysterious and staggeringly unusual UK DIY and art-post-punk, circa 1980. Grab this comp quick - these tracks will be up for one week only. Nancy Sesay and the Melodaires - C'est [...]
You can take the girl out of Long Island, but you apparently can't take the Long Island accent out of Rosie O'Donnell . The new host of The View guest starred on last night's Nip/Tuck as a Pensicola white trash lottery winner named Dawn Budge. O'Donnell was fine in the role, but that accent was far more 'I'm down visiting my uncle Saul' then the needed 'I just moved out of the trailer park, y'all.' Playlist: Nip/Tuck - Ep. 405 [...]
Today is National One-Hit Wonder Day in the U.S., though affection for the one-hit wonder isn't unique to the States. Just this month, New Zealand music television station C4 dedicated an episode of its program, U Choose 40 to One Hit Wonders. A viewer poll on the C4 website determined the 40 songs. Viewers were given 60 options, though "write-in votes" could be sent via e-mail. The Kiwis'
