First: I misread your original message - "You, sir, have no soul" - as coming from James Brown rather than Jason Brown. You have to admit, that would have been an unimpeachable source on the question. Second: I do hope you have backup for that virtual collection of yours.

No - that was often paraphrased as "the best of both girls" but what he actually wrote was "in emerging from withinity and coming-forth into becomingness, the being-in-itself of propinquity requires its sustenance in a mise-en-abyme, yet always already ex post facto its own sine qua non regards itself, antiteleologically yet with phenomenological dubiety, as an ontological numinosity under erasure.

She just discovered the fifth string this morning, and, while she thought it was pretty cool, it took some explaining... and now I'm supposed to tell her there's a guy out there making perfectly good twee pop without one? And this with the Miley Cyrus thing still barely under control? They don't tell you about the really hard bits of parenting.

In case you're just joining us, the above refers to Mr. Broome's occasional complaints about overexposure to the television series "Hannah Montana" via his many pre-teen daughters, and not any untoward interest in the underage pornographic filth offered up by Vanity Faire and their corporate puppet-masters at Disney.

Sold! In fact, I was just reading about the Carolina Chocolate Drops' performance at StageCoach*. Apparently the guy from Thelonious Monster was bowled over.

And thus I labeled my (admittedly rare) 100% RH-related post as "0% LE". The Protocols may be further defined by a quorum of Fegmaniax, but only if voted on in person, with no few than five fegs gathered together, most likely in New Zealand. For the purposes of this convention "feg" shall be defined as "anyone who has posted ten or more times to the fegmaniax! mailing list during the past two years". Through a technicality (one which we are unable to correct due to another technicality), this will allow some attendees to vote more than once, as posts by socks *are* admissable, and confer upon the sock puppeteer legitimate adddtional voting power. (It's really not that much more fucked up than the Texas caucus thing.) Anyhow. Some suggest that posts be tagged by name of the "feg" (see above) most closely associated with the topic. The most obvious example would be a flag-related post, which would be tagged as "100% Dignan". Other examples might include posts about banjos ("100% Stewart C. Russell" or "100% SCR"), posts about "Hannah Montana" (sadly, "100% Rex"), or posts related to assfucking and other buttplay ("100% ET"). Concerning topics over which multiple "fegs" (see above) may claim dominion (Buffy, Rush, BSG, The Fall, Karen Allen, etc.) the various claimants will pretty much have to eliminate each other by whatever means necessary to secure their topic. Hot tip: a lot more things are legal if you can get someone into International Waters before you do them. It is to be hoped that the necessity to have every subject line include "0%" followed by the names of all "fegs" (see above) whose characteristic domains are not addressed in the post can be avoided through negotiation, but you really never know who might be manifesting a shitty personality on any given day. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 13:42:50 -0500 (CDT) From: David Witzany Subject: Song of the year From Mr. Tews: >Date: Mon, 05 May 2008 09:14:22 -0700 >From: "Stacked Crooked" >Subject: Song O' The Year > >hi, >i do believe i've heard what will be my favourite song of the year: >"Borneo" by firewater. the album from whch it's drawn, *The Golden Hour*, >will probably end up in my top ten. give it a download, won't you? > Definitely a good'un.

My SOTY is almost always from the previous calendar year; for example, last year it was a tie between "Bottle Rocket" by the Go! Team and "Common Reactor" by Silversun Pickups, both vintage 2006, I think. The big contenders this year are the 2007 release "I Want You to Know" by Charlotte Hatherley and one three or four contenders from the Von Sudenfed record, but eithert might be aced by one of the Forster-McLennan gems that've jus surfaced (which will count as a 2007 release despite the passing of one of its authors two years previous). Of course, the SOTY every year is really something from 1979, but I digress. - -Rex ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 07 May 2008 11:28:21 -0700 From: Barbara Soutar Subject: Robyn soundtrack music I rented a movie called "Sorry Haters" and must report that there's a Robyn Hitchcock song on the soundtrack.

I've been working on a "Crime Movie" mix, basically a bunch of songs that were made famous in crime movies or TV shows, and are thereby linked in popular imagination to cops and robbers and murder and mayhem. My list so far: Godfather's Waltz, Nino Rota, The Godfather Woke Up This Morning, A3, The Sopranos Across 110th Street, Bobby Womack, Jackie Brown Way Down In the Hole 1, The Blind Boys of Alabama, The Wire Working In A Coalmine, Lee Dorsey, Casino New Jack Hustler, Ice T. New Jack City Gimme Shelter, The Rolling Stones, Every Martin Scorsese movie (except Shine a Light) In the Air Tonight, Phil Collins, Miami Vice Little Green Bag, George Baker, Reservoir Dogs Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down), Nancy Sinatra, Kill Bill I'm Shipping Up To Boston, Dropkick Murphys, The Departed Live And Let Die, Paul McCartney, Live and Let Die Superfly, Curtis Mayfield, Superfly The Harder They Come, Jimmy Cliff, The Harder They Come Stuck In The Middle With You, Stealer's Wheel, Reservoir Dogs New Dawn Fades, Moby, Heat Miserlou, Dick Dale, Pulp Fiction You Know My Name, Chris Cornell, Casino Royale Layla (Piano Exit), Derek and the Dominos, Goodfellas The Fall, Blake Leyh, The Wire Any suggestions? (I am not interested in theme songs, unless they are way cool, such as the A3 tune.) - --Quail ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 2008 13:07:52 -0700 From: Rex Subject: Re: More Songs about Murder and Carjacking On Wed, May 7, 2008 at 12:10 PM, The Great Quail Any suggestions?

And ditto the Coens? The Fall, Blake Leyh, The Wire Hey, speaking of the Fall... um, no, this time I got nothing. But hey, speaking of Wire, why exactly is it that, despite there being nothing especially wrong with it, "MANSCSAPE" is so easily identifiable as the least essential entry in theor catalog (proper album releases dept.)? - -Rex ------------------------------ End of fegmaniax-digest V16 #593 ********************************
