I'm Suddenly In The Mood For Melba Toast
This is mondo dopey, I know. But I'm excited. I found "Sardines" by the Junkyard Band! A song that I haven't heard since I was maybe about 14 years old when the kids in school would stride down the halls clapping their hands and chanting "Sar-DINES! Pah-pah-pah-porn and beans!" Anybody remember that old jam? No, not the greatest song in the world. But we all thought it was hilarious back then. Sardines, y'know? Inherently funny. Coupled with pork AND beans. That's just comedy gold right there.
New improved Blogger Beta 2000 isn't letting me link a damn thing lately so here's the url to the yousendit file if you wanna hear the track. It's an m4a file and only up for 7 days:

And I finally found it on this recent release:
DJ Mike Sky presents Bring Da Beat Back: Crankin' Old School Go Go Mix which features tracks by other great Washington DC go-go legends like Chuck Brown and Rare Essence, to name a few. Anyway, I gots it now. And Joe makes a face every time he hears it. But it's nostalgia. And it kind of makes me hungry when I hear it. I actually quite like sardines. And pork with beans. Hmm. Time to break out the ole blender.
A few other purchases this week:
See how woefully behind I am with what all the kids are listening to these days? I am finally in the possession of TV On The Radio's Return To Cookie Mountain which includes about a bazillion untitled tracks so I'm not sure what goes with where and the what and ahoy-hoy. Haven't even had time to listen to so I'll get back with this one presently.
Boris, Pink. Another one that's been making everyone's best of lists from last year, and I really like what I've heard so far. Arty experimental metal that reminds me more of free jazz than something that sprouted hybrid-form from the rock genre.
Krautrockers Can's newly remastered Monster Movie, which sports a pretty boss album cover, and luckily plays on my computer since it's a SACD hybrid and I never bought on of those before.
And lastly The Chameleons' Script Of The Bridge, which I owned on cassette back in college because I thought the album cover was so cool, and later bought on vinyl. And now CD, which I had no idea even came out in this format. In fact I bought both this and the Can CD used off a kid who was trying to sell them back to my store and we couldn't take then, so I slipped him a few bucks out of my pocket for these two. Nice album. Wasn't quite as good as their other disk Strange Times (which also sports a rad cover and I still have on LP) but once again, nostalgia and all that. It's been that kind of week. A very, very strange week indeed.
