George W. Bush allegedly
avoided the Vietnam Era
in a 'champagne' unit.
Yes.
An entire Era.
I mean entire war.

Never has such weasely
aristocratic behavior
sounded so poetical.


1. Little Anthony and the Imperials "Shimmy Shimmy Coco Bop"

2. Chemical Brothers "Playground For A Wedgeless Firm"

3. Loretta Lynn "Have Mercy on Me"

4. ? cannot remember Buloululba

5. Killdozer and Alice Donut cover "Aquarius"
from "Hair".
I know it's the same with all Killdozer covers, and this is no exception, but the cookie monster singalong
coupled in this case with the hippie feelgood vibe is nice, even if it does go on a bit too long.

6. Go Home Productions Chunk: Who, Stooges TV Eye

7. Ridiculous Trio "No Fun", Stooges cover. I think a kazoo might have been involved.

8. Mambo Kurt "Waiting Room", Fugazi cover.

9. Richard Hell and Voidoids "Blank Generation"

10. Wendy Carlos "What's New, Pussycat?",
Burt Bacharach wrote this song.
I'm afraid I'm becoming a fan of Burt Bacharach, like the middle aged woman
played by Eric Idle in Monty Python's Meaning of Life
who is choosing a topic of conversation in the restaurant in the afterlife.
And run on sentencing like an athletic judge.

11. Munsters theme song, seague way into

12. Go Home Productions
Chunk: Munsters Theme + that new york band I can't remember+LCD soundsystem+ Kaiser Cheifs + Pere Ubu - nonalignment pact+Beach Boys. And Peaches is in there too. With swears.

13. Marilyn Monroe Happy Birthday to JFK

14. Flaming Lips "The Big Bug is the New Baby"
recomposited from the four Zaireeka CDs. It's a bit overdriven, sorry.

15. Go Home Productions Mashup 10cc and Marvin Gaye

16. Brian Eno from Another Day on Earth

17. Brian Eno "Bone Bomb" from same.
I think this song is about a girl with an eating disorder, don't you?

18. Sebedoh "On Fire"

19. Go Home Productions Mashup of a Rod Stewartless "Maggie May" and Stevie Wonder's "Uptight"

20. Concert for George, Clapton, Billy Preston "Isn't it a Pity?"
The DVD is available. The Seattle Library has it. It seems like a great opportunity of grandstanding and maudlinisity. However, I found it quite genuinely touching. Except for the Ringo singing part. See it, and you'll know.

21. Beck "Debra" "Step inside my Hyundai"

There are a lot of mashups on this mix, maybe too many.

I'm not sure Photoshop's Liquify filter is useful in terms of design or art.
It appears (to quote the late, great Nan Cauthorn) to help you make bad art faster.
But I do think it could save lives and bitter confrontations.

Avoid those pesky court fees, restraining orders and prison time.
Work out your problems with an image of your ex wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, boss, inlaw with Photoshop.
Pucker and bloat the pain, anger and resentment away!

Excuse me while I compose an infomercial pitch for Adobe:
