Utter, absolute genius.  The next dimension in musical boundaries.  It should be a chart hit if you could sell it; how the hell do you divvy up the dough, I wonder.

I was born in November, 1991, the day Freddie Mercury died. And my Momma believed that every man should be straight, but still I just cried, cried, cried...

And fuck Phil Collins.

She tore a muscle "somewhere near Maryland."  Took me a minute to get that one.  Tricky, Dick!

OMGWTFLOL Bizarro Discovery of the Month -- featured on this weeks CG retro-chart from June of '71, Sakkarin (one of Jonathan King's many many pseudonyms) doing a cover of "Sugar Sugar" that actually got to #12 in the UK.

Posted this on FB too, but for posterity: the original promo clip for Murray Head's "Superstar" when it was originally released as a single in late 1969 (more than a year before the "JCS" LP appeared).  This was basically Webber & Rice's "pitch" to Decca Records when they were trying to sell the idea of a rock opera about the Passion.

The latest threat to youtube -- it's own unprofitability.

You've GOTTA (especially Gaz) check this out: a version of "The River Is Wide" from 1967 (2 years before The GrassRoots had their hit with it) by a group called the Forum.  Very Walker Bros/Phil Spector-y. NTM and something of a revelation:

Wow, this was a find - thank you!  I far prefer the Grass Roots' steam-clean of the arrangement.  This one's a little gaudy-oh!

Bwahaha! -- and TANC, since I posted the other day about Mr Gaudio's work on Little Shop of Horrors (which if you've never seen, you should).

don't know if you've seen this, and it's not normally of interest to me, but this seems pretty wild:
