Shame, Shame, Shame!

As die-hard fans, it's so weird that neither me, nor my sister, knew that this duet existed. I lack the words to describe exactly how awesome I think it is.

Retrospace Halloween

Please forgive me for reblogging, but Retrospace's October 2013 post,  Retrospace Radio Halloween Rewind , is beyond brilliant - it provides links to fantastically spooky vintage podcasts, which you can download (file sizes not too bad) and enjoy at your own leisure. When I listen to them, I feel like I'm time-travelling. I also found the post quite suitable for this week's musical merriment in anticipation of Halloween on Saturday. Hope you love it as much as I do (and have a look at the rest of the podcasts on the Retrospace Blog. Just as awesome; I haven't downloaded them all yet, but I probably will).

When The Sun Refuses To Shine

Winter ended with record high temperatures for August down here in SA. We knew better though. It was just too weird for Spring to kick off acting like it's Summer - and this early!? A cold front was inevitable. Last week, as foretold by our guts, the cold returned accompanied by cloudbursts. Meaning that I spent my weekend checking for leaks in our roof, and/or puddles of water in the lounge. Inspiration struck somewhere in between, and that's how I found our weird song for the week. What a trippy intro, right?

When Weird Is Good

Dear Readers, I am devastatingly embarrassed to admit that until recently I did not even know who exactly Frank Zappa was, or what his musical stylings sounds like, but then I listen to this song and forget all about my chagrin.

I thank my lucky stars that I've never had to deal with an STD, but I read in Classic Rock Magazine's  latest issue  that Bon Scott was on a first name basis with his local VD clinic; which obviously explains AC/DC's song, The Jack .

One helluva Monday! Apologies for keeping you waiting... I want you to form a deep understanding of just how weird this week's song is. Listening to the words just won't cut it, because in this case the actual lyrics sound like misheard lyrics . You'll find yourself wondering, after every line, whether what you heard was actually what was sung. Take a minute to  read them . It won't exactly set your mind at rest, but you'll feel better knowing that there's nothing wrong with your hearing.
