Chris Gene Pitney: The great Amercian who destroyed his own career by promoting the British Invasion.
Always a big fan of his oldies hits playing in the grocery store… and later finding out all the songs he wrote for other pop sensations. Remarkable.
My favorite collaboration of his was the dirty unreleased song he sang with the Rolling Stones (w/ Graham Nash and Allan Clarke), about Andrew Oldham (the Rolling Stones ex-producer)…. Andrew’s Blues.

Lead singer of [tag]Clem Snide[/tag].
Sounds like Clem Snide less three people.
Overall a pleasant album with quirky and ironic songs.
Not many could get away with indie-countryish song with lyrics about rap video ho’s..
That was my ass you saw bouncing
Next to Ludacris
It was only on the screen for a second
But it’s kinda hard to miss
And all those other hoochie skanks
Ain’t got shit on me
And one of Nelly’s bodyguards,
He totally agrees
My mother cleaned the homes of weatlthy people til teh day
She died and so to california
I did make my way
I tried to finish nursing school
I really wanted to, you see
But all those boken bodies
Well, they really got to me
And they all think I’m stupid
I can see it in their eyes
But I know whats inside their hearts
I penetrate their lies
Sometime it gets me crazy
But I’ll keep my feelings hid
Because i know deep inside they’re only
Freightened little kids
And If I press my breasts together
And arch my back just so
I can ask for pretty things
And they will not say no
No one should have to suffer
No one should go with out
Don’t hate me ‘cause I know just what this world is all about
Don’t hate me ‘cause I know just what this world is all about
or my personal favorite:
You look so pretty when you have been drinking,
I don’t care that your friends say you’re a mess.
You laugh at all my jokes no one else does.
So I’ll feel it’s only right I must confess.
You see I wasn’t really drunk, I was just pretending.
Because I wanted so much to feel the way you do.
You know this party seems never ending.
And I would gladly sip my champagne from your shoe.

i’d like this cd.
it’ll be nice when springtime comes,
sending winter in one thick rolling migration of displacement, condensed and heavy,
back into the freezer in the ardmore wawa, where my grandfather once said it went,
when green birds, whistling, make melodies.
This site is about 5 years old now… I’ve always been impressed by Audubon prints. The details are remarkable. To think they were all done without the aid of cameras. What patience and determination you must have to follow all types of birds (or to catch them) for the glory of documenting north american ornithology! What grandeur!

as most of my friends call me Flann
you should learn about the real Flann, the Irish Writer Flann O’Brien

As it bein’ Irish season and all…
I thought I’d help promote my friend’s Irish trad punk band…
They have an album coming out soon. Listen to them at:

Mark your calendar.
i dont know how i came across the band but they dont suck.
and its not just because i like real shorebirds (the birds themselves).
similar to the oranges band, but not as good.
In searching for information about Tommy Dorsey… i found some information about Billy Lustig and the Scranton Sirens
Canada’s Songwriters HOF – Finally inducted Leonard Cohen in February.
The HOF has only existed for 3 years, but seriously who could be ahead of Leonard Cohen? Glad you asked, apparently Gordon Lightfoot, legend Hank Snow, Pierre Juneau, Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman (The Guess Who)…
seriously WTF?
Have you listened to a Guess Who or BTO song lately? I mean sure I’ll always hold them to regard in my classic rock heart but WTF? Gordon Lightfoot? What? Gord’s Gold ain’t all that Gold. Theres a few winners but WTF?
Its also an insult for Leonard to have to share the night with Anne Murray. Seriously “Snowbird”? SHE DOESNT EVEN WRITE HER OWN SONGS. Which I’m guessing is normally frowned upon by the SONGWRITERS Hall of Fame. She’s just as bad as Joe Cocker.
Canada, GET A FUCKING CLUE!
what can we say? can assume uconn is overated… or is villanova that good?
its still hard to say, but it sure is fun finding out.
