  7:31am FEMA EMERGENCY ALERT (:

Our alert system has detected a potential danger coming towards you:

<< Mariah Carey's 'Visions of Love' song from the 7 inch single could be played in the next few minutes >>

As a protective measure -during the lenght of the song- create a barrier between you and the potentially contaminated sound:

* Cover the sound source with duct tape plastic.
* Take your family and pets outside.
* Seal all windows, doors and air vents with 2-4 mil. thick plastic sheeting and duct tape.
* Take shelter or stay in a mass care facility operated by disaster relief group.

Irwin,

I've sent you the Pritt Stick MP3 song, considered one of the 'worst rated songs'* from the times when mp3.com was the king of the internet (late 1990's)

* In WFMU terms that would mean 'a great f*cking song'

FrFr: Sounds familiar. Did I air it?
Avatar 9:55am Crutchtar:

I don't think so. Because once you fall in love with the song you can't stop playing it again and again and again.

I just hope my friend Steve isn't strokin'! When I spoke to him on the phone from the ER last night, at least his sense of humor was intact, although he couldn't remember what year it was. In a clouded mental status, the patient often is unaware of the seriousness of his condition, which is kind of a saving grace if you look at it from his perspective. Just like it is immediately after shock treatment, where the patient doesn't remember anything going back years, but is just fine with that.

"At 33 rpm, the single is too slow, but the slowness seems to fit Jimmy's lugubrious, demented delivery, so that's the speed that the FMU staff settled on back when this record was in heavy rotation. Jimmy's real name appears to be James Dean, the record label is Fatima Records, and he seems to be from Los Angeles. The sleeve of the single says "Demand The Album!" in tiny type, but these are the only two songs from Jimmy we've ever come across." blog.wfmu.org...
