I actually dig that type of stuff barely. it reminds me of staying up late listening to HFS on Sunday nights. here are some of classics in that vain:

King Missile - detachable penis

Dead Milkmen - punk rock girl

barnes & barnes - fish heads

[doclinkin]

Still not sure if I like them, but can't get their grooves out my head. The Phenomenal Handclap Band sounds like if Morcheeba played Woodstock.

You'll Disappear.

Glad you like. Yep, me too on the HFS Sunday nights. There's a show on hmmmm I think PBS that details the history of Washington DC through various eras. It's cool listening to the history of how HFS evolved and the impact it had on the city.

As far as King Missile, although I liked "Detachable Penis," I frackin' loved the album before that -- "They." He Needed, and Farm Song, and Mr. Johnson.

Great quote from that album:
"And now, I would like to speak about fish. I have never spoken about fish before, at least, not as I can remember."

And my favorite:
The Leather Clown

Back in elementary school, fourth grade I think it was, I had this friend -- Ethan.
During lunch hour, we used to go to eighth street for pizza and jelly donuts.
Sometimes we got an orange Julius instead of a donut.
Sometimes we got the donuts, but instead of eating them we'd put them out on the street
And wait for cars to drive over them.
But the most fun we ever had was, after eating, sitting on a stoop exchanging sexual fantasies.
Sometimes they involved one of our classmates;
Sometimes it was a movie star;
And sometimes it was our teacher, who we both suspected was sexually repressed.
Sometimes I claimed my stories were real, like the story about the leather clown.
She had short, spiky black hair;
Small, but perfectly formed breasts;
And was always kitted out In the same outfit:
Leather skirt,
Fishnet stockings,
Floppy shoes,
A big, red nose,
A pair of leather wrist bracelets...
With spikes,
A big, red smile painted on,
And a big, shiny horn Which she would honk and honk during sex, until she had an orgasm.
Whenever the circus would come to town, I would tell Ethan all kinds of kinky clown-domination stories involving the leather clown.
Like the time she forced me to have sex with her In the little car.
Or the time she kept spraying me with the seltzer bottle,
Until I obeyed her every command.
Ethan and I, we laughed and laughed at these tall tales.
But I could tell, deep down, he was wondering whether the leather clown was really real or not.
And I would let him wonder.

[barelyawake]

Excited. Just got tickets to my favorite math rock band -- Maps and Atlases. Since I've listed all my favorite songs of theirs already in this thread, I'll post this newer one to celebrate:

Maps and Atlases - You, and Me and the Mountain
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcoR_s2wg3k

BTW, they are playing with Frightened Rabbit at the Black Cat.

Gotta plug my friends the Midnight Kids (electro rock). You can download their album for free for a few days more. I think Barely might like them.

Edan - Echo Party

I'll admit that I haven't really followed this thread all this closely, so my apologies if this has been covered, but I've been listening to this for the past few days and I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

Not very accessible, but if you can appreciate hip hop as an art form this may be for you. Late 70s/80s hip hop, funk and some punk, getting the sampler treatment blended with distortions, kazoos and all kinds of other crazy stuff thrown into the mix.

[barelyawake]

Moments like these make me love this thread. No idea how I slept on Edan. But, ty for wakin' me up. In the short time I've heard him, he's bounced up to Busdriver, Last Emp, Sage Francis, El-P, Mr. Lif and Aesop Rock territory (my favorite modern hiphop artists). I'll certainly have to check Echo Party. He's even been around awhile. I'm embarrassed.

RIP, Alex Chilton. Big Star was a truly great band. For some reason, they were labelled "alternative" and didn't have tremendous commercial success. For the old-timers, Chilton was the lead singer on The Box Tops during the "British Invasion". Here's one of my favorite Big Star songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsPKKuQm ... re=related
