10 frink pts to anyone who knows what 'parthenogenesis' means.


The story of how the Parthenon was built?   ;D

bwahahahahaha!!!  Good one!  I never thought of that.  Although other than yourself, I'm not too sure who else around here is even clear on who Harlan E. is.

it means when the offspring is not of the same species as the parent, like the nightmare Geena Davis had in The Fly.

Got dragged into an unexpected meeting; Kudos to AL on the Shriekback, a biggie on NY alt-radio that year which I haven't heard much since.

btw, wikipedia says parthenogeneisis is a form of asexual reproduction where the females eggs develop without fertilization, and the offspring will always be female in this case.

Yeah Harlan Ellison is said to have quite an ego. But brilliant writers often do. And he's certainly a brilliant writer; I recommend just about any short-story collection of his you can find.

Actually I didn't yesterday, but often do.  Tunes 3-9 were all bustouts, so that's not only 7, but 7 IN A ROW.  Moreover, other than Eurthymics, each of those was either the first or second song by that artist in the Db.

and yes, that means Dave only ever played one(!) Waits tune in the Db era.

Best 1985 set EVAH, not even close.  Kudos Annalisa!

I think Ginger played all of those, but Dave only played "Union Square", 3 times.

I'm pretty sure he played Downtown Train once, too. I have it recorded at home.

BOS Shriekback.

I'm not sure how often this happens, but none of these 10 songs reached the pop top 40.

Perhaps AL is trying too hard to please the hard core club members?
