This was supposed to be mainly news about our novelty/oddity websites, and the novelty industry in general,
but then I got way into novelty music and set up Restless Mouse Radio, so now there's links for that, plus I post the ocassional joke, and, well,
it winds up like most blogs... a hodgepodge of nonsense.
Fortunately there are topic tags so you can find relevant posts easily.
Don't mess with Santa, kid.
...I dug up Brenda Lee's "I'm gonna Lasso Santa Claus", I think it came out before her manic "Rock around the Christmas Tree" hit. In IGLSC, Brenda tries to pull some Robin Hood crap on Santa, I don't think that went over well. It's bad enough that she yanks on his beard.
Just got this "Colonna" CD, mainly to get the classic cut "Bell Bottom Trousers (coat of Navy Blue)" - It's one of the few tracks I can actually listen to on this CD, the guy rrrrrolled his R's too much. The other one I like is, "Hey Barmaid!" (Can you guess why? No R's in it)
I was hoping there would be some interesting tidbits about this guy, he looks like a circus strongman for some reason. But alas, sparse liner notes. Also I am having trouble ripping it to MP3.
I want to get an MP3 player for my mom who is in her 80's... She has to be able to figure out the buttons, and they can't be horribly tiny like the Creative Labs MUVO I gave her a couple years ago. It will be streaming jazz, she likes all of stuff I plan to put on it, so searching for tracks won't be an issue.
Is the Ipod the only good options? I listen to music on my Palm Tungsten at work, and a lot of people call THAT an ipod because I am listening to music on it. I suspect their brand name is going the way of the "Band-Aid" if Apple doesn't nip that in the bud.
Folks, you should check out some of these "trade for points" websites. Get DVD's, CD's, VHS tapes, Books Etc. In exchange for ones you don't want anymore. All it costs is postage for the ones you send. My favorite one is TitleTrader.com
Yesterday I got a Jimmy Dean CD specifically so I could add a certain song to my collection of novelty music... "I won't go hunting with you, Jake, (But I'll go chasin' Women)"
I must say that for the most part I like those Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage patties better than his music. (Notice I phrased that very carefully)
