Clown Porn
It's sort of crazy at work now trying to transition out of this job and get my replacement hired. I got so many resumes over the weekend that I had to sort through and send the best ones on to Susan.
After work, I finished a demo of the "clown porn" song that Shitting Glitter is working on for our friend Ginny McMath's one woman show, What Not To Do. We'll be writing the songs and performing them with her during the show if all goes as planned. Amy and AJ are writing most of them but I said I would do this one, and Amy wanted me to try and finish it up before I left for Kansas.
Hello 2010, goodbye junk!

"Queer" by Thompson Twins, cassette album. The story behind this is that, after years of being a die-hard TT fan, somehow the fact that they released this in 1991 snuck right up on me. I was in Wal-Mart, of all places, obsessive/compulsively checking the sections of all my favorite artists, and lo and behold - there was a brand new cassette tape by one of my favorite bands (not the only time that ever happened). I was a little embarrassed that I didn't already somehow know about it, but whatever, I bought it anyway. Now, usually when a band you loved for years puts out an album "past their prime" that you don't even hear anything about until you see it in Wal-Mart - that's a bad sign. But I LOVED this tape! It's still one of my favorite Thompson Twins albums ever. It's really a shame that this wasn't a bigger hit. There are tons of songs that could have been singles - "Flower Girl," "The Saint," "Wind it Up." Eventually I got this on CD of course, and I found quite a few random 12" vinyl singles (I think a couple of the ones I listed were singles and I have them on 12" but nobody ever heard them). A great album I would recommend. Oh, I did hear "Come Inside" on an episode of freakin' Melrose Place (if I remember right) after I had bought the cassette.
