Now! IMHO, Family Guy is a vastly inferior, unfunny ripoff of the Simpsons. No way in hell is it nearly as subversive or daring as the Simpsons, and the writing isn't nearly as tight. See my last post (about the Upright Citizen's Brigade). Family Guy is a step closer to the gross-out humor I mentioned there, and pales in comparison to the Simpsons.

I mean, erm, no, I don't play Final Fantasy, or get Final Fantasy music hopelessly crammed into my head for days on end, nor did I recently get intoxicated in Philadelphia and sing several themes from Final Fantasy III while walking home with my former college roommate (the enabler who brought her old Super Nintendo to school with her copies of FFIII and FFII).

Most of the Mummer b-sides (for want of a better term) actually... i wonder if this has anything to do with not being spoiled by tinkering too much? We all know the actual album tracks were recorded, re-recorded, mixed and remixed ad infinitum. And to be honest: some of the tracks have suffered from this. But "Jump" and most of all "Desert Island" - the best XTC castaway track ever? - stand out from that crowd in their simplicity and almost sketchy starkness.

Anyway, back to my (almost non-existent) point: >You threatened/promised to do Skylarking - have you? <<end of Jane Snip>> With me so far? Well DONE! If not, refer to the archive 6-172. Alternatively, if you've any sense, hit page down now! Here goes: Skylarking c the Dodgy Lyrics: Summer's Cauldron: Breathing in the boiling butter. I ask you. Have you heard of heart disease? Saturated fats? And you want to BREATHE this stuff? Grass: Too easy. The Meeting Place: Hmmm. Let me see. "But When I get you on your own we'll see...You're a working girl now". So, you're pimping for her? Is that the deal? That's Really Super, Supergirl: Changing all the world's weather and the effects on global warming were commented on in 6-172. I'd also like to point out the carcinogenic effects of indiscriminate use of your x-ray eyes on us humans. On a positive note, well done on stopping the universe dying. Ballet For A Rainy Day: Hard. Would advise DIY enthusiasts against varnishing in water. Doesn't really keep the wet out. That's all. 1,000 Umbrellas: Even harder. I'll have to resort to that age-old warning: "You'll have someone's eye out!" Times 1,000. Season Cycle: Pushing life up from a cold dead ground sounds good in theory, but I'd advise a closer watching of all films about zombies/mummies/the undead before embracing it wholeheartedly. Earn Enough For Us: Hurtful comments from the boss? What planet are you on? SUE THE BASTARD! And as for that house? Was that all in the surveyor's report? If not, see comment re boss. Big Day: So, your fingers have been burnt by the touch of gold, eh? Note to best men: Do NOT heat rings with a blow-torch. If you can prove this has happened, take action as per boss above. If best man is an impecunious layabout, remember the church is also liable. Another Satellite: Nothing to say about this one. A perfect lyric. Mermaid Smiled: Mermaids DO NOT EXIST. If you're seeing them smiling, seek professional help. I mean it. The Man Who Sailed Around His Soul: All drunken captains are bad, but Ego is the worst of a bad bunch. Even other drunken captains won't sail with him. Steer well clear. Dying: To be avoided where possible. Particularly to self. Sacrificial Bonfire: As if we don't have enough problems with adults breathing in saturated fats, we now have child obesity caused by (scape)goat meat? What lesson does this teach future generations?

Probably because everyone thinks that the bulk of both albums will be on Fuzzy. Also, with CDR's becoming more common folks are probably burning copies and then putting them on the block to make back their money. Skylar said: Now YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART the Skylar King loves XTC and KNOWS they are brilliant and creative and he only dreams of writing songs as goos as they do someday, but for St. Pete's sake...if I ripped off a song that blatantly, I would never hear the end of it. It's very easy to forget where you've heard a melody before unless someone else points it out to you. I can't tell you how many tunes I've picked out on the acoustic only to realize that someone else wrote it (and did a much better job than I did). More than likely if Colin nicked it he probably did so without realizing it. Thanks Nathan-- >Seeing as I haven't the foggiest how I'd go about resurfacing a plastic disc on my own, I'd sure shell out a few bills to have a skippy CD fixed. Of course, I'm positively pathological about the careful handling of my discs, but then you'd only expect a posting like this from someone that anal anyway. I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one that pathological. Yes, you're right the device essentially uses friction to smooth the surface. The laser can then read the 0 and 1 that are so prominently featured on the surface. What? You've never seen them? Look closely there are secret codes on every CD.... Final note--I personally love Jayne the Worrier Queen's posts. Great sense of humor Jayne! (Did you come up with your nickname yourself or did friends provide you with it? In my case my kids did....)

I love the way the song jumps all over the place from this pounding rush to a quiet, almost coy admission: "I've been in love before.... But it's never been as HOT as this. Crawling on the floor ... " And calling on Mister Fireman is too ... cool. For many of the same reasons I love "Beating of Hearts." What a fabulous love song! BTW, what is the chant between verses? Sounds like "get it up, get it up." OK, I'm calm now. Please convince me about Human Alchemy ... which scares the !@#$ out of me! Peace (and quiet), Annamarie

I was just listening to my recently acquired copy of The October Project's Falling Further In,(used, three bucks, one of the best small investments I've made in a while)and there's a song on it called "Funeral Of The Heart"(what a title, huh?) that isn't just sad, it's heart-rending, but in a beautiful, therapeutic, and spiritual way. Whoever writes their lyrics has already undergone a lot of therapy and done a lot of spiritual and religious research, the lyrics of the whole album(and their other album which I used to have but lost in a car accident) are full of intelligence and spirituality and religious imagery without being preachy or overly clever. I can't get those lyrics or lead singer Mary Fall's voice off my mind. If I had a choice that would be the voice I'd want singing at my funeral. There's many others I could think of if I inspected my collection further, but nothing else I could add could top what others have suggested so far, with the exception of one rather odd choice: "Mother Says" by Air Supply. If I hadn't treated my wife to an Air Supply show a couple of years ago I would never have heard the song, it's a very simple and rather bleak yet strangely hopeful song, and sounds nothing like those awful hits they had in the 80's that made me want to run screaming from the room. It's from the point of view of a small boy who's trying to make sense of his mother's death, of her lying dead in the next room while he tries to understand where she's gone yet trying to find new ways to deal with the monsters in his closet mother used to protect him from. My wife found the song so upsetting she still won't listen to the album it came from voluntarily(their most recent at the time a couple of years ago, I've actually played it on occasion for that one song and that the rest of the album is actually quite listenable in a Moody Bluesish sort of way).

Sad songs: Nowhere Man Waterloo Sunset Tired of Waiting OK, that's enough from me. See ya, Mike

Kat Tumeys (TumeysKat??) mentioned "Hey You" by Pink Floyd. IMO there are other songs on The Wall that are better for bringing the old lump to the fore if the mood takes - in particular: Goodbye Blue Sky - Mail me off list on a scale of 1-10 about how pathetic I am that I "lump up" the moment that little kid says "Look Mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky . . ." Oh, and "Nobody Home" - "I got a strong urge to fly . . ." *** The debate about the bonus tracks in Mummer - while I agree that stuffing them in the middle of the CD does jar the senses of those of us brought up on the vinyl version, consider the alternative. Cue the fade out of Funk Pop-a-Roll, with Andy yelling "Bye bye" (or even "Buy buy"). "A-ha," you think, "the end." Errrr, hang on, here comes another track . . . and another . . . oop, and another! Still rather glad they released them though! *** Skylar King made some good points in his message about the Standing In For Joe/Barrytowm similarities. The only thing I would take issue with was his comment: "And for all the talk about how he doesn't want success and all that tired rhetoric Andy swipes the K-Tel "Today's Current Hits" guide to studio production for this song" Not sure about that me old mate - I don't recall Andy EVER saying "I don't want success" or even "I don't want to sell records". OK, he doesn't feel the need to tour, and yes, he seems reasonably RESIGNED to a lack of commercial success - but I think if you challenged him with a question like: "Hey, Andy, you don't really want to be successful or sell lots of records and make pots of money do you" . . . . . . he'd probably laugh his arse off and give you very short shrift.
