It's Working!

My reprogramming of my Yahoo! LAUNCHcast station is starting to take effect. When Loretta Lynn is followed by Ladytron's "Seventeen," which is then followed by Freddie Hart's "Easy Loving" (hadn't heard it before, but I like it), all is right with the world.

Basically, I want the station to veer from extreme to extreme - kinda like this blog.

Found this quote at Stylus magazine:

"[Helen] Marnie also avoids showing much emotion on “Seventeen”, the album’s most immediate pop hit. The song contains zing but without any eagerness to show how catchy it is. The chorus, 'They only want you when you’re 17/When you’re 21/You’re no fun' should be a wake up call for all supermodels or everyone to realize that, after your teens, you are just getting old."

And here's an interview.

And here's an unrelated biography of Grandpa Jones. The only similarities between Louis Marshall Jones and Helen Marnie is that both of them wore makeup.

I put two thirty second snippets together here. One's an old love, and one ain't. It works on my computer with Windows Media Player; not sure if it will work elsewhere. Courtesy Best Buy.

In which we enter the alternative universe in which police always believe dreadlocked individuals

I previously raised the question about whether Interference Inc. was prompt in letting the authorities know that the so-called bombs in Boston weren't bombs. Now a new question has been raised - was Peter Berdovsky prompt in letting Interference Inc. know that the guerilla marketing campaign had gone sour? And should he have informed the on-scene officers that there was nothing to worry about? The issue was raised because Berdovsky videotaped police at a (supposed) bomb site. This is what the Associated Press said : One of the men criminally charged after placing blinking cartoon advertisements around the city videotaped a police bomb squad removing one of the electronic devices, but did not tell the officers the object was harmless. Surveillance cameras caught 27-year-old Peter Berdovsky videotaping officers removing what they thought was a possible bomb. But Walter Prince , Berdovsky's new layer (replacing semi-guardian Michael Rich ), puts a different spin on the whol...
