This is my first post to this list in like...a really long time so if you
don't like reading two months of accumulated spewage, don't read on
First of all, the most incredible song as far as lyrics go has to be
"Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice On Ice Alright". For those of you who don't
read lyrics sheets and haven't learned to understand Isaacs wailing
(that's wailing in a good way), here are some excerpts of particularly
high quality:
"You'll be drowned in boots like mafia/But your feet will still float like
christs"
"I'm in heaven trying to figure out which stack/They're gonna stuff us
aetheists into/And Peter and his monkey laugh/And I laugh with them/I'm
not sure what at/They point and say/We'll keep you in the back/Polishing
halos, baking manna and gas"
and from "doin' the cockroach"
"My mind is all made up/So I'll have to sleep _in_ it"
(not on it as someone else said)
Second order of business, this damned survey, which I feel oblidged to
fill out to sort of get reacquainted with the list.
