Thank you, Am*zon Reviewer! Unfortunately we couldn't find any Ronnie James Dio ablums here on th' Isle O' Foam©, so here's swell UK freakbeat combo The Creation with their definitive collection Action Painting, instead!
This post re-published because frankly I've run out of things I want to write about, except my book, which I'm spending about six hours a day on. My last bid for overnight success!
To qualify for your personal stealth link, simply copy-paste the lyrics to any song by popular pop combo Black Lace here!
ReplyDeleteSpray! Macho man!
DeleteAmazed (no less) that Black Lace means anything more than "WTF??" to you lot over there. Thanks to all for the entertaining blog.

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©.
DeleteGroucho the protopunk: ONE TWO THREE FOUR! I don't know what they have to say, it makes no difference anyway...Whatever it is, I'm against it, No matter what it is or who commenced it I'm against it.
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 ...)
ReplyDelete"Ag-a-doo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree"
ReplyDeleteI ain't never heard either The Creation, OR, Black Lace. NO clue to any lyrics. Maybe, they used the words, " hey baby love fun go up party travel spoon" in a song somewhere? Just a guess.
ReplyDeleteWayyy too much here, but a cherry pick will result in a great album:

Farqs old bean I do hope you've insured yourself for asking questions like this especially given you failed to recommend that readers be 'trashed in Torremolinos' before contemplating the dregs that are 'Black Lace'. A standard health warning is required, Listening to their low rent drunken drivel is likely to cause brain bleeds. The image of paralytic Brits staggering around Spanish seaside resorts in conga lines loudly slurring the lyrics of these muppets offerings is the stuff of nightmares. But anyway 'your wish is my '.... etc etc
ReplyDelete"We're having a gang bang
We're having a ball
We're having a gang bang
Against the wall
We'd like you to join us
It's part of the fun!
Oh a gang bang is the thing to do
But it takes more than one
A gang bang is a game we play
It's something of joke
It's lots of hokey-pokey
Less hokes and lots of pokes
It's for the girls and for the boys
It livens up the night
It's better when you're crowded
And when you're packed in tight"
PS Ta for the Creation its just such a shame they never enjoyed even the success of those aforementioned musical vagabonds
Black Lace was just one of the many chart-topping pop acts the UK produced in the seventies. Carve their names with pride: Lieutenant Pigeon, Brotherhood Of Man, Middle Of The Road, The Tweets, and countless others raised the spirits of the nation! While the poor old US of A had to suffer Little Feat, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Frank Zappa, Neil Young, the Allman Brothers and countless other grim, plodding, talentless showbiz combos, dear old Blighty enjoyed a right old knees-up in the great end-of-the-pier tradition! Whoops-a-daisy Missus!
DeleteDelightful re-visit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for making sure we continue to suffer from "talentless showbiz combos," along with commentary.

Here's hoping your book becomes an overnight sensation. It must be quite hard what with Kreemé strolling about Th' Isle O'Foam© wearing her inadequate clothing, I don't think I'd be able to concentrate for six hours a day.
ReplyDeleteTheng kyew! Writing a book is easy and fun - it's getting somebody else to read it that's miserable hard work.
