"Cottleston Pie"

I am frantically working on digitizing the original Muppet Show Cast Album (which was released on Arista Records in 1977 and is long out of print). Here’s the first taste: Rowlf the Dog singing “Cottleston Pie.”
You’ll enjoy it, I’m sure.

"Scanners" Scan to XTC!

(Cross-posted to Chalkhills…)
Gang,
I’ve been relishing in a bit of a David Cronenberg movie-fest lately. It’s been fun, what with the freaky exploding heads, buggy Jeff Daniels, Christopher Walken, and all…
In any case, tonight I decided to watch “Scanners” again, and what to my wondering eyes should appear but a “Drums & Wires” promo flat [...]

“Say It Ain’t So, Grammy”

"You Have Killed Me"

Of course Morrissey has a MySpace page. Eeeew. MySpace is creepy.
In any case, I’ve made an MP3 of “You Have Killed Me,” the upcoming single from his upcoming album, Ringleader of the Tormentors. I don’t know if I like it yet, but I certainly don’t love it like I love “I Have [...]

U2’s performance was fantastic, as [...]
