Josie Bittup - Sometimes I'm Daffy!!!

Jeffrey Gennette King Camp Gillettej Penn Jillette

I had a human head misdelivered to me.

That's a damn good record. Perhaps my favorite Sal. He's singing on this one.

You'll definitely want to hear his talking record. https://www.discogs.com/master/731387-Willie-The-Lion-Smith-The-Memoirs-Of-Willie-The-Lion-Smith

And that is what I mean about definitive work in the genre.

Is that Tradition label the same label that was a part of Everest? If so, I would always at least entertain the possibility of alternatives.

Lacks bite, but circle of self-pity duly noted! For the record, Rivers did fine (sometimes definitive) work in the self-pity mode, but that song needs edge.

"that's a real wrist-slitter." Anybody who could be talked into actual suicide by any kind of a pop record deserves their fate. Although, accepting personal responsibility for thinning the herd if to be commended, I suppose. This is more like it. Good old-fashioned self loathing rage. And living to collect the royalties!

H How much would the bet be?

I remember as a youngster reading reviews with a lot of adjectives that got me excited to buy a record and then buying that record and then being unimpressed and even disappointed because those adjectives did not come true for me. Yes, adjectives are necessary, but they are quite often subjective, personal/emotional reactions and should be handled with care. Part of the problem is that there's a lot of reviewers who do not have the knowledge to address music objectively. If a review displays an awareness of what is happening with the music itself, then I'm more than willing to listen to the reviewer's subjective responses to that. But all these adjectives...holographic word salad.

Who remembers Jimmy Boyd?

That's a whole lot of adjectives.

What a tragedy.
