ha! i love that line, too. good words, but you´re right. the only song i know is "smiley faces," one of my favorite tracks from the album ("just a thought," "go-gi gadget gospel," and "st. elsewhere" being the others).


Those are precisely my other favorites from the album as well.

Just got this week's tracks, which include the new Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, and George Michael singles.  A good day to be gay, I suppose, but the GM track is a disaster on first listen.  Will report back on the rest if folks are interested.

"New Madonna" meaning something that's not on the current album?  Always interested in what the PSBs are doing. GM... notsomuch.

No, just her current single ("Get Together").  Indistinguishable from her other Desperation on a Dance Floor offerings.  PSBs issued their worst song ever a few months ago, "I'm With Stupid," so I'm coming to the new one with lowered expectations.  And I keep wanting to defend GM but he keeps giving me reasons not to, which is my summary of his career since 1999's Songs From the Last Century (and that's being generous).

Hey gang,

With choler.com sadly out of commission, I've had to create some quick 'n' dirty webpages via my earthlink account to host my indulgent links to articles and reviews.  Here's the current product:

http://home.earthlink.net/~jmccombs/

I'll eventually make it more robust, or else I'll hire some 12-year-old to do so for me.  I'd rather have drop-down menus than endless scrolling, but my HTML knowledge is limited.  Still, the goods are there, and they're almost up to date (I'm just missing the Stylus Singles Jukebox and a few other stray links).  Not turning you guys into my QA team, but if you should glance through and notice anything that looks wrong or just bad, please let me know.  Thanks!

Gaz

Ageist fux0r!   :wink:  Chris Cornell is older than both of us.  (I still have that album, btw, though I haven't listened to it yet this decade.)

Merci buckets to you all and I'm glad you like the stuff.  (I'm using a pic from 1998; is that gauche?  I'd like to think I haven't aged too visibly since then.  Forget I asked.)

Ageless and timeless, bub.

I was gonna say "boyish" but that was once code for "gayish".
