If I had one, that is. A reader cruelly sent me a ghastly link to the Christian song stylings of Lil' Markie.
Cthulhu, take me now. My psyche is scarred.

Kate's out of town for the weekend, leaving me here by myself (well, not counting the Queen of Niskayuna), needing to find something to do to entertain myself. My first thought was "big long bike ride," but it's raining, and I'm just not that committed to bicycling.
During a promotional interview for the creationist propaganda piece Expelled, Ben Stein asserted that "science leads to killing people." In the new film The Happening, by contrast, toxins released by plants cause people to off themselves in a

It could have been worse. On my initial scan of the article, without really reading it, I saw Biz Markie instead of Lil. Think about how horrible that would be and shudder.
And then imagine him doing xtian songs.
Scarring.
On the bright side, I imagine that if one were high, this would be nothing less than the best thing ever.
Not that I condone that sort of behavior.

No. Trust me. No.
Did you read the live journal blog? Bleeeeech.
The scariest thing about those songs is when the falsetto falters, and you hear his real voice come through. Rather like the strange, inappropriate questions in the teenagers' chatroom revealing that "Becky, 12" is actually "Norman, 40". Horripilation!
Oh. I finally got up the nerve to try the songs, and see that the livejournal is made of the lyrics to the song. Now it's even worse.
I think Biz Markie would be better.
Speaking of ipecac...

I've run into Mark Fox before. I always got e-mail about him when I put him on my audioscribbler.
If you're interested here's a video. Don't say you haven't been warned.
OH, and if you're interested, an old video from the early 1990's turns up here and there on e-bay. Finding his cds (titled vol. 1 and vol. 2 respectively) is a bit harder. If you snoop around on the WFMU blog, you can locate the rest of the album.
Here's the link again since it doesn't seem to be working.

Wow. Just wow. I don't like to post obscenities using my employer's server and computer so I won't comment further.
I'm going to have to put on some Gregorian chant, followed by some Hildegard, the Bach B-minor Mass and Jesu, meine Freude, the Mozart C-minor mass, the Verdi Requiem, the Britten War Requiem, the Penderecki St. Luke Passion, Ligeti's Lux Aeterna, some Sacred Harp singing and maybe Judy Collins' recording of Amazing Grace and/or Joan Baez doing Swing Low Sweet Chariot at Woodstock when I get home to purge this from my system. This will easily take me into the wee hours, but it will be worth it. Indeed, I feel like I have little choice.
How can anyone look at literally millenia of wonderful Christian religious music and turn around and send this out into the world? Is it possible it's a really out-there satire and I'm just missing the point, like those guys who think The Onion is for real?
Best, Marc
"Why did you kill me, Mommy?"
Makes me laugh every time I hear that. My favourite local morning radio show ran that as part of bit for some time. I laughed every time they played it. Still is funny to me.
