Incognito

Stumbled into this little compilation of “Best One-Hit Songs of the 2000s“, and I’m happy to say I’d only ever heard two of them:  Are You Gonna Be My Girl by Jet (can’t help thinking that Prince would have murdered this one), and Wherever You Will Go by The Calling.

Now when I say I “heard” them, it’s not that I ever listened to either of them all the way through — no, it’s just that a few momentary notes happened to stick in my brain when the songs played in some store or other, or blasting out of some weenie’s souped-up Honda Civic at the traffic light.

Small wonder that all the above are one-hit wonders.  Completely unmemorable at best;  totally shit otherwise.

And now we return you to our regular programming.

That Maintenance Thing

Loyal Reader Mike S sends me a missive entitled:  “Sharpening Bayonets Takes Time”.  Well, yes;  indeed it would…

By the way, I’m lacking a bayonet for my M1 Carbine, so if anyone has a spare knocking around, drop me a note.

I suppose that means we’ll be stuck with the Kardashians and Lizzo forever.  Hand me the pills, Simon.


a.k.a. the “Frozen” Syndrome.


it might have been even worse had we actually seen Gaga’s well-trodden pudenda.

And here’s Marilyn, just so that everyone can see what I’m talking about:

Not even close.
