Inflamed Vicar no. 33 (Fiery Mix)

[senoritafish]

Those of you who are moms probably remember Steve Burns as the human sidekick on Blue's Clues. I got quite used to his green striped rugby shirt, and I actually got a little misty the day the episode aired when he went off to college and was replaced by his brother Joe. I imagined him going to frat parties, getting drunk, fantasizing about emotionally unavailable professors and generally doing all the stupid stuff I did when I went to college.

Well in real life, he recorded some tunes, went on tour with the Flaming Lips, and is now doing all kinds of interviews promoting his new CD, Songs for Dustmites. Abercrombie and Fitch has one of his songs available for download (under the Lifestyles page), and I was kind of suprised to find I actually quite like it. The distorted bass electronic fuzz near the beginning bothered me to begin with, but now it's really grown on me (btw, the Jen Foster song on the same page - Used Black Cars - is really good, too).

On his own amusing webpage, he has a little song title generator, which he claims they used fo come up the the titles on his album. Some of my favorites that came up were:

Following the Wondering Iguana

Music for Geiger Counter

Several Species of Supernova Gathered Together in a Dirty Bear and Grooving with a Goat

Song for Samarium and Justine Bateman

Quote:

all of our song titles are generated by
computers powered by lobster brains.
that is the absolute truth.

So,
1. Go here
2. Click "again" (and again and again and again)
3. Tell me your favorite song title

I think I used to be a member there, but I never posted anything. I think it used to be a sister site of ChickClick, where I did post a lot in the parenting forum, before it died. After it did I couldn't find hipmama anymore. Not that I'm all that hip... ;)

Yes, Steve is cute, especially now he's all scruffy lookin'. Mmmmm, male pattern baldness.

I think the funniest computer generated name was one that GameSpy created:

"Used Man Candy"

:-D
