Thank you, Am*zon Reviewer! Unfortunately we couldn't find any Ronnie James Dio's ablums here on th' Isle O' Foam©, so here's swell U.K. freakbeat combo The Creation with their definitive collection Action Painting, instead!
To qualify for your personal stealth link, simply copy-paste the lyrics to any song by popular pop combo Black Lace here!

On the off-chance your recent shuttering of the HOF was a mere hiccup, a temporary bout of creative exhaustion rather an actual sayonara, I stopped by to find my most fervent wish fulfilled and even improved upon: the HOF rebirthed as the MFFMFI. I get it, Farq. There'll be days when the hoots are a bit muted, when the mirth seems a little lumpy. But that's creativity for ya. I expect the Four or Five guys will overlook the occasional misfire. Keep the yoks (and bikini shots) coming. In this plague year, it's all of value.
ReplyDeleteI'm having my "sleep break" right now. I woke up from the usual "lost in a strange city" dream, the recurrent habitual scenario where I'm trying to get out/meet someone but the sorta familiar streets keep changing and I'm trying to make sense of it all, to get a fix, somewhere or something or someone I recognize ... and I wake up to the dark of this waking dream, to this new normal where nothing makes sense.
DeleteThe first FMF header (the chaotic collage picture at the top of the blog) was a subconscious thing. I had no plan, no idea ... the House of Foam in the night of cultural decay. The strange house in the dark, the explosions and upset - flying fish, monsters let loose, planes falling from the sky, people as signs and symbols, not individuals we know. and the pretense of normality - open for business! Have some money! It wasn't funny, it was dark and dreamlike and a vision of the future. The idea of an insubstantial house being home, that bricks and mortar are nothing but froth and bubbles, but something that endures anyway.
It had to go. There had to be a blue sky, getting away from it all ... a desert island. The gang's all here! If home is insubstantial, formless, it might as well be full of light ("it's full of stars!"), and a place for friends to be.
The new normal is what we wake up to every day, and the old days when we could party in the street ain't coming back for a while yet. But there is a togetherness in separation. The sun is still rolling up into the sky. Birds are still flying. Maybe we'll get it right, next time. But in the mean time, the in between time, let's allow ourselves a little fun and froth up a place to have it in. Having a good time was always what we did best, and it's a valuable skill we shouldn't forget. It's not a false memory.
Be cool. Trust in your god, or someone else's, but give him a little help. Listen to the music. Fix yourself a cup of instant java. That's what I'm going to do.
I see you have Groucho in the header. Confusing since he said "I Don’t Want to Belong to Any Club That Will Accept Me as a Member". So should we come to FFMFI or not? I'm already here, so how do we deal with this conundrum?
DeletePS: Can I hang out with Cody and Creemie?
Groucho is the foundation stone on which the House O' Foam© was built, and he's glad to get that weight off his shoulders and play in the duck soup that washes the beaches of the Isle O' Foam©.
DeleteI have to admonish that it is not nice to make fun of the mentally and musically impaired and...uh...wait a minute, it IS fun, so do carry on. Amazon, where bad advice and bad spelling race for a trophy made up entirely of tenderly whispered "Was this comment useful to you?"'s.

ReplyDeleteWas this comment useful to you?
"Was this comment useful to you?" may well appear up there under the header.
Delete(Yours was, by the way, I'm having it knitted up into a crewel-work tea cosy).
So this guy is an expert with 200 CDs. I'm sure most of us here have way more than that. I have about 7,000 CDs, but I worked in the music business for a time.
ReplyDeleteI have zero CDs. Really. No vinyl, either. I useta have a swell collection, books too, but I sold everything off when I moved to Old Siam and changed my life. I've managed to mostly recreate my music collection digitally. I figure I paid for everything twice already - vinyl and CD - so I'm owed.
DeleteI think the review was made from ClipArt!
ReplyDeleteWould a name like Lawn Gnome ease this levity?
Maybe all of the CDs are Dio! Coda...

Kwai Chang is the guy Carlos Castaneda thought he was, and owned a FFMFI© passport before they were issued. Older readers may remember his syndicated radio show Th' View From Th' Bleachers, where he described the baseball games he saw in his mind while on drugs.
DeleteI used to do that on equal parts of levoamphetamine and dextroamphetamine (old school).
DeleteCreation were better than expected. Thanks!
(Creation = levoamphetamine + dextroamphetamine)
Delete"better than expected"...I'm jealous
Rah rah rah
(Creation are pretty good btw - great crunchy guitar and hammering bass - if Pete Townshend had been their songwriter ...)
