Ben, Dave, Milo, Chris, don’t be a condescending prick, this is your last hope, just consult your brain trust, put on your headphones and hit record.

First the acrostic reviews, and now this gem? Man, Glennny, you're on a roll this week.

I'm looking forward to hearing these.

No, Glenny, no song cycle. Need time and inspiration for that. Titles with song-cycle potential are rare. "Cable Beach," "Robot Candidate," "Anomaly," and "Gray Rainbow" are the only four I've ever come across in my time on SF.

Peace sells..but who's buying? of course. I am almost forty, ya know.

I just recorded a little two-line song, that I may or may not tack on the beginning of my entry as a lead-in to the subject matter (if the rest pans out.) I like it more as a poem, though: "When we were young/we turned the dial/to hear some oldies/but now we're old/and click the wheel/to hear the phonies."

EDIT: Inspiration has struck, thank goodness. Theme selected, tentative intro, outro and chorus lyrics/melody written, and now I'm going to bed. I'm actually starting to enjoy this process.

That's actually a cool link. I was planning on mentioning it in my blog, but I've got a review for "Jewel Of India" to post tonight.

Haha well I've been holding onto the link for about 3 days, so I'm just 1 day behind Fluffy. :p I think I saw it on GorrilaMask originally.

There's also a site that lets you add cow bells & Christopher Walken to your MP3's. But that's even older news.

Nope, hadn't seen it. I don't think unicorns are a good fit for my blog....unless they sing or start a band.
