Had a strange dream last night. I was on a spaceship infested by aliens. Kept on having to clean up their turds.

There's one simple reason I have so many damn records: I don't only like good music -- I like bad music too. I'm listening to a ridiculous early '80s Christian hair metal/AOR/prog record right now, and, well ... I'm enjoying it.

So, what comes after Generation Z?

Another day, another donut. And another "Tape Hiss" too. Tomorrow, anyhow –– between noon and 3:00 ET (extraterrestrial time). With noizes from History of Unheard Music, Le Tombeau, and Xerobot, plus the comp "Mother's Night in a Turkish Bath."

From today's New York Times: Toronto "children have taken to a schoolyard game called 'Cops and Rob Ford'."

Look de Bouk goes hip hop, in 1992

Saw something in a Portland record store today that would definitely fit right in on an episode of Portlandia: Young parents taking their 6- or 7-year-old son vinyl record shopping. His picks? The Smiths and Tom Waits.

In the Court of the Crimson Frog

René Joly : "La Cour Du Roi Musicien" - (1969) French version of "In The Court Of The Crimson King" Lyrics Peter Sinfield adapted by Eddie Marnay

Should I keep the copy with heavy ring wear? Or the one with tiny cat-claw puncture wounds? Decisions, decisions.

¡Ay, caramba! I'm on the radio in 30 minutes, playing longhair music, shorthair music –– and a bit of bald music too: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/53150

A bizarro musical factoid I learned today: There were two British musicians named Lindsay Cooper. And they both played on Mike Oldfield records.

Los Beatles

Profesionalismo y pasión en cada tema interpretado por estos chicos encantadores. Una canción hermosa haciendo el cuadro perfecto en la presentación de Rubbe...

My tribute to Samantha Fox takes off in 22 minutes, right here: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/53040

It's "Tape Hiss" time again, this tomorrow from noon to 3:00 ET. Here's what I've got planned: an "Ode to Samantha Fox," plus cassettes by Left Hand of the Nursery Man (attn: Alexander Ross) and Wallmen (thanks, Matt Moses!). La voila: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/53040

I'm just chillin' to the hits of Chicago this Saturday morning. My particular faves are "Mother Beat Tomars," "Anxie Ty's Moment," and "Satu Roay in the Park."

"She hated being asked to twitch her nose." –– a line from the "Bewitched" expose I just gave up watching after two minutes.
