That's supposed to be the idea. According to legend.

This was used as the theme song to "Chuck". Am I the only one here who knows that?

rrg, The "legend" playing music makes people come back and buy more stuff has been demonstrated a gazillion times, most recently at the Tribeca Whole Foods. Too bad the same phenomena doesn't occur in record stores.

Girl Scout roundup sounds like something I'd like.

Girl Scouts get all the attention. No one cares about the 1997 recording of 12,000 Camp Fire Girls in Kalamazoo, singing narcocorridos.

L.O.T., what I miss from Greasy Kid Stuff is when they would sneak adult material in. And by "adult" I don't mean XXX.

Especially the dynamics! @Robbert.

Only Irwin left worth listening to.
  Wed. 10/23/13 3:31pm Listening Out There:

Robert: Yep. Anything worthwhile that's intended for kids usually has something adultish to make it palatable for the household. E.g. Bugs Bunny, Loony Toons, Peewee's Playhouse, etc.

The show I most miss is A440/Stochastic.
  Wed. 10/23/13 3:35pm jan:

@robert. The girl scout chorus would be more impressive if individually miked. Consider the 40 Part Motet by Janet Cardiff with 40 singers played back through 40 loudspeakers.

Ken - Yeah, I was thinking of that too. Oh, and hip hop.

From the horse's mouth. Joe Frank trashes his sole book:
BLVR: Do you feel your work on the written page is not fully realized? You wrote a book of short stories, Queen of Puerto Rico—

JF: I’m glad you mentioned that. I hated that book.

BLVR: Why?

Avatar Swag For Life Member Wed. 10/23/13 5:46pm rrg:

The Loss Leaders were a series of bargain-price albums, $1 per LP, mostly double-LPs plus a few single-LP and one triple-LP collections, available only by mail order (no record club involved). They were intended to promote Warner/Reprise artists who might otherwise have been overlooked, liberally sprinkled with selections by more well-known artists. Some real rarities and gems in there, along with clever and entertaining liner notes, many written by what's-his-name who is/was Dr. Demento (though not yet that at the time).

No, Droll, these were specially-prepared and packaged collections, unique. To young me they were very exciting and influential. It's regrettable that they haven't ever been re-released in any form.

WB released these all these all through the 1970s.

A good description of them here:

Gah! With delays here, I see info was beaten by Irwin's. I don't know if my friend was also a roommate of Spirit's.
