Spanxzilla: Annie. Slutting on broken glass.

I started writing this post on 11/9/09 to comment on how Annie Lennox, "Walking on Broken Glass" gets mixed in with anything. But I stopped myself from saying anything because I could only vaguely think of a couple weird connections. So I have been waiting Elphians until I had a solid case. Today is that day.

- Ms. Lennox will understandably play between Aqua, "Barbie Girl" and ATC, "Like a Drum"

- But she will also jump in between kids songs "Hakuna Matata", Tim Rice and The Sounds of Sesame Street "Elmo Would you Drive My Car?"

- And to top it off today, she came up first in the queue which is great. Even if that song is kind of Pandora-slutty it's nice to listen to. But she was used to lead into a grinding, squealing guitar run starting with "Ratamahatta" Sepultura and ending with Rob Zombie's "Thunder Kiss '65" (which has become my all time favorite squealing, guitar song because of the solo that he does at the end of the live track).

To some up, I have nothing against Annie Lennox. I'd just like to hear more of her music. And I think it's strange that broken glass has a list of genomes with such a high level of versatility. I wonder how many other songs exist like this.

Addition:

- she has also showed up between indie artists (feminine men singing with guitars) Damien Jurado, "Inevitable" and Iron and Wine's "Sodom, South Georgia".

I've got to know. What does that song have that makes it so matchable and are there other songs like it?

Please, help us complete rule 34.


There's not a lot for these guys to do except once a year and even then they don't really do most of the work anymore. After they went corporate they've had reliable stand-ins and they have had the chance to step back from the action and enjoy the years hard work they put in. The problem with these guys is that they have been breaking into people's houses for years. They have a skewed sense of morality to say the least. Making this rule 34 was actually their idea.

Please, help. Even the music in my head is emo.


Tragic. I know. What's the point of anything really. Let's all climb inside our own cradles of filth and confess things to our dashboards while we're looking for our new found glory. Tragic.

I know.

Please, help. Is there anyway to tell if a relationship is actually working?


They just seem so mismatched. And maybe that's the beauty of it. Maybe.

Please help. I'm a werewolf in sheep clothing.



It's funny how you can never escape from your own experiences. I was raised in the American Church Conglomerate by a wild pack of fundamentalists. Our sect was different than other versions of American Christianity in that it was stressed that the Bible was, in fact, literally true. We were steeped in the gospel from birth until I left home. Yeagh.

Fast forward to the present where I live very far from that world and that life. I'm the King of Elphia for Christ's sake. I mean, really, how much farther away can you get? From anywhere, truth be told. So I got a weird sense of nostalgia when I climbed into a cab and the driver began to proselytize me. Weirder still, suddenly all of the scriptures that I was made to memorize for candy and promises of heaven came rushing back, pouring from my mouth like sweet water from a rock. I wish that I had had an outside perspective on this situation and that the only thing was actually coming from my mouth was, "baa, baa!"

Pleez help. He didn't level up proportionately.


A friend of mine, the Earl of Delsdale (if you must know), caught (or had caught (it's hard to tell with the Earl as he is quite capable but often lazy for the sake of laziness (no offense, EoD))) a Perfulgeon. He must have had someone else catch it because they didn't seem to notice it's obvious birth defect. Actually, that was probably why they were able to catch it (normally a full grown Perfulgeon can move at a speed of 156 kph in the water); this guy was doing slow figure eights with that sad sack expression. The Earl named him Charlie McFearson because he felt so sorry for him.

pleez help. i iz purty shore they leff-ted me out hair


No one ever told me what a snipe looked like. I was just supposed to go out and find it. Remind you of anything? What is Life? is correct! We're all just out hunting snipes. Whatever they are.

Please, help. It only looks like I'm crazy!


Multiple personality disorder is no joking matter. But it is kind of funny to watch Yoda change his voice 15 times during a half hour conversation. It's so involved, his face awrithe with twitches and spasms.

Wilf: Charlie Bit Me - Remix





This is great! I did the standard youTube thing and went on looking for a particular thing and then ended up 5 videos later at this one. Sometimes the trip down the rabbit holes pay off. You can search for the original if you want to see it but I think you get the drift.

Please, help! I thought they knew.


I swear, they act they didn't notice that my voice was muffled and my lips never moved. I have very observant friends.

You may have noticed, the Internet, that that color has come fully into effect here. There is the occasional black and white day but, for the most part, it's like this all the time now. It stops hurting your eyes after a couple of days.

Spanxzilla: Throwing up clef signs.

This was super amusing to me when I was at work and on a long rap groove.
It ended after an hour or so with Coolio's, Gangsta's Paradise and then switched quickly to Partita for Keyboard No. 5 in G Major by Johann Sebastian Bach. My feeling is that Pandora was probably following the genome of heavy orchestration combined with obvious attention to recording quality.

Please, help me make it through a winter of mornings.



So far this is my absolute favorites. I am such a fan of horror movies. I got to watch Rob Zombie's "Halloween" on the 31st. It made my evening absolutely memorable. He did a great job. I thank the Maker that we get Netflix in Elphia.

Get a print of this cartoon.

Please, help. The machines have given me a 12' x 12' cubicle and I'm "happy".

Spanxzilla: Black and white unite?

Having some many genomes in Spanxzilla makes it a little schizophrenic. Like it's talking to itself and then responding. Like this morning "Swervin" by The Coup (a song about how the african american community is being kept down by the government and most of them have no choice but to sell drugs and go to jail) which was responded to by Jimmy Eat World's, "Middle" (which is an upbeat and pop-y reminder to middle class tweens not to give up because everything just takes some time to come to fruition).

Update: As I was writing this entry, Spanxzilla responded to JEWs, "Middle" with Nappy Roots' "No Static" (detailing how he actually has no problems because he has a gun and "too much of anything can make you an addict").
