Bwooop!
The trio vs. the pirate-ladyman Recently lis opined that no native Utard remembers Lighthouse 20, the kid show that was broadcast on UHF channel 20. Now I have a slight dispute with lis, in that I remember the pirate on the show was played by a woman, and she recalls someone very different (a man, I presume). Now Lighthouse 20 was not by any means my favorite show (hell I think it replaced Gillagan's Island!), but I do remember it--not really fondly but I remember it. The real purpose of my writing is that I made the comparison of Lighthouse 20 to Hotel Balderdash--a show that apparently ran for 10 years on channel four here in SLC. Now this show was the bomb; not only did it start at 6:00 am 6:45 am and show nothing but 30's-late 40's Warner Brothers cartoons (you know, Bugs and Daffy, but not Porky Pig and certainly not that crap WB churned out from the 50s onward.) These cartoons, of course, were made for adults and the humor was mostly sophisticated in a slapstick kind...
how do you blog songs/song clips from Last.fm? is it tricky?
ReplyDeleteThey just added the feature (well it is the first time I've noticed it). Basically you click on the song and it comes up on a page. There is a code right beneath it that you can copy and then paste it into the blog.
ReplyDeleteI have this CD! Actually I bought it on iTunes. Do you have any of their other stuff? How about the Wailing Jennys?
ReplyDeleteI might note that I had the BGTs which I purchased from iTunes, and then felt guilty about killing off Orion, so I bought it there too.
ReplyDeleteDamn ethics interfering with my economy!
I love Orion's, and I buy and have bought my share of cds there, but I also feel like them and their ilk (I add to them The King's English) need to get with the times, man. Nostalgia for the past is great, but I love being able to download music.
ReplyDeleteI'm adding to that that I shun iTunes because of their i-hegemonic practices. Emusic, man. I love 'em.
ReplyDeleteOrion is trying to respond. Still. Still.
ReplyDeleteThey have George Clinton coming on Monday. Should be fun.
