Peter & The Test Tube Babies Thursday, March 29, 2012 Reggies Rock Club I see that this punk band Peter & The Test Tube Babies is coming to Chicago. This piques my curiosity, so I have to do a little investigation, maybe I want to see this group. Wikipedia says: "Peter and the Test Tube Babies are a punk rock band that was formed in the small town of Peacehaven, England in 1978 by Del Strangefish and Peter Bywaters. Due to their humorous tongue-in-cheek lyrics, they have been considered part [...]

Dearest Friends, you may recall that last Christmas Santa FiL got a bit too full of seasonal spirit(s) and utterly disgraced the red suit. It's true. However, I'm relieved to say that this year he's stayed off the egg nog. Well, not entirely, but he hasn't dissolved his brain in it. That said, there's still Christmas itself to get through, and a bottle of medicinal vodka in the freezer. Just in case... Peter & The Test Tube Babies - I'm Getting Pissed For Christmas [...]
If you don't like it, you can f*** off! Mama Cass Elliot in London Mama Cass famously died choking on a ham sandwich, everybody knows that. Except she didn't. The myth started because the first Doctor who examined her after her death, a Dr Anthony Greenburgh, told the press the next day "From what I saw when I got to the flat she appeared to have been eating a [...]

As I admitted in a recent post , both "Fairytale of New York" and "All I Want For Christmas is You" rank among my faves. Who's to say which is better? It's like comparing apples to rotted out teeth that can no longer eat apples. Well I have another confession. [...]

Santa & The Klawz, NP-34 Research Station, 1/12/06 Well, the Christmas frenzy has well and truly started, but so far I've managed to steer calmly through the froth. I do apologize if this sounds a bit smug, but methinks I've already done about 90% of my gift shopping. Yep, thank you llbean.com, amazon.com, chapters.com and (Dearest Wife, avert your eyes RIGHT NOW unless you want to spoil the surprise) amazingly funky local boutique LouLou Luv! LouLou's is a wonderful girly-girl place, stuffed to the gills with fantastic handbags and jewellery. The shop itself has a real [...]
This is a post I've been wanting to do for a while. A few months back as I was listening to "Beer for Breakfast" by the Replacements, I realized that there are a lot of wonderfully stupid songs out there ¬– songs whose subject matter is so crass, juvenile, and/or moronic that they induce guffaws and/or grins. Below are some that I found. If any one of you can think of others, let me know and I'll try to post 'em. STUPID SONG INSIGHT!!! Note that [...]
