November 24, 2008Megapuss “Surfing”
November 24, 2008This is yet another silly rock album for people that enjoy the relevance of being irreverent. It’s not my cup of tea, but Megapuss would be better served if they were ground up and percolated anyway.
“Crop Circle Jerk ’94” is no “Pop Song ’89.” I like the horns at the beginning, but the title is so fun that the song just falls flat in general because of the inflated expectations. It’s fine, I guess.
“Duck People Duck Man” is cute. This is the one the kids will like. It has a guy talking in a funny voice about stereotypes, duck ones specifically. I am sure there are inside jokes abound in this song, but even without getting them, it’s still fun. I mean, it talks about hummus, for crying out loud.
I like “A Gun on His Hip and a Rose on His Chest,” although there is a ton of swearing in it, for those of you scoring at home, goddammit. Very thought-provoking lyrics though.

November 20, 2008The Internet must know this
November 20, 2008Sometimes I search for things that remind me of my youth on the Internet, and when I find nothing, I get depressed. This is key stuff, people! If I think of enough of these, I may create a new category for them all.
At any rate, when I would listen to the Alex Bennett show in the early 1990s, he would have this cellular phone guy on. I think they were in Marin County. Was it Parrot Cellular? It could have been. Regardless of who it was, the phone number was an easy-to-remember one, in that the numbers spelled out a phrase. I don’t remember the original phrase, but I do remember the phrase that Alex Bennett and/or his listeners thought of: 1-888-RIB-STEW.
Also they were located next to a Double Rainbow, so the slogan was “buy a phone, get a cone.”
Now when people search for “buy a phone get a cone” on Yahoo!, they will find this post. That makes me feel better.
