LOVE SONGS SUCK: A FAIR AND BALANCED VALENTINE’S DAY JOINT

About a century ago, I hosted a radio show called “Beautiful Music For Ugly People”, which was basically two hours of me playing whatever I figured I could get away with playing on a college radio station in a conservative military town. One annual feature of the show was, of course, the special Valentines Day edition, in which I would play songs that weren’t exactly in the spirit of the holiday. Songs like “Love Hurts”, “Love Kills”, “Love Is Pain”, and so on.

Because Jesus, SOMEBODY had to.

Anyway, after enjoying bedsitter23’s excellent Plastique Valentine series last year (and this year), which expresses the same sentiment, I decided this year to share my hate with you all in the form of a totally illegal podcast/comp thing.

And here it is.

THE GOP: UNITED BY HATE

You know it’s going to be a fun election year when Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter say publicly that if John McCain gets the GOP nomination, they’ll support Hillary Clinton.

Though at least Rush is a bit more honest in his motivations:

“The reason I'm raising money for Hillary is because, apparently, my party, the Republican party, is relying on fear and loathing of Hillary to unite the party.”

The thing is, he’s probably right. Unless Ann Coulter’s not joking. It’s really hard to tell with her.

Best. Presidential. Campaign. EVER.

LOVE SONGS SUCK: THE SATANIC VERSES (MTV VERSION)

For those of you who have downloaded our complimentary fr0gcast vis a vis Valentine’s Day and were wondering about the relevance of the Peter Cook/Dudley Moore entries, please see this scene from the 1967 movie Bedazzled for visual reference:

BACKGROUND: If you haven’t seen it, but have seen the remake with Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley, it’s basically the same thing, only funnier, and with Cook playing Hurley and Moore playing Fraser. And this is the scene where Dudley Moore wishes he could be a famous pop star to win over the woman’s love. As usual, Satan gets the girl. It’s brilliant stuff.

And yes, actually, the original is better. Sure, the remake has Elizabeth Hurley, but the original has three minutes of Raquel Welch in her bra and panties.

It’s no contest, really.

And with that, I’m off to Barcelona for work purposes again. I’ll file missives when possible, but I don’t know how that’s going to go – partly because this time, I’ll be bunking with my boss.

Yes. I can’t say I’ll be looking forward to that. For one thing, it’ll mean no watching Spanish cable TV porn at night. Oh well. So long as there’s two beds in the room.

Move it on over,
