Mission Statement: "To do very little, for very few, for not very long." Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. "History is Bunk" - P.T. Barnum. Eudæmonia, hermeneutics, phenomenology, ontology, chronotope, heteroglossia and mnemetics out th' ass! Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat Camp for the Mind! "Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost." Proudly Content-Free since last August!
The rest is history. A lesson to today's wretched, whining, blaming, do-nothing "woke generation" that it only takes unlimited wealth, talent, and weapons-grade handsomeness to achieve your rock n' roll dream!
Today's Smörgåsbörd ö' Surf™features an overview of Jet's career up the mid-seventies, when he did absolutely the right thing and relocated to the mythical continent of Mu, today known as ... th' Isle O' Foam©!
My research team has located some extra Merrell & The Exiles tracks, so I need to grout them in somewhere before I loadup! Gee, what a swell package of value for youse bums we gots today!
ReplyDeletethose exiles jackets must still exist. i must have one!
Deletealso the name of their barber.
Corben and Wrightson got blackbagged, did they
ReplyDeleteIn a prepared statement read today from the steps of the Tiki n' Tapas™ Lounge, IoF© CEO Farquhar Throckmorton III said:
Delete"Is this on? *taptaptap* *kaffkaffkaff* Some of the Four Or Five Guys© have noticed the swift deletion of a recent post featuring the graphic work of Messrs. Corben and Wrightson. This is due to a number of reasons. Firstly, on reflection, we felt that the piece fell short of the standards of excellence for which th' IoF© has become an internet paradigm [are you sure you mean paradigm? Searching for paragon - Ed.]. We here at th' IoF© have made consumer satisfaction more than a slogan - it's a catchphrase - and we refuse to compromise our Terms Of Service and disappoint our loyal customer base by providing sub-par content. So there's that. But mainly it was pulled because someone accidentally and totally deleted the relevant files. We hope that today's swell signature piece on Merrell Fankhauser will be more than adequate recompense, and answer the demands for quality what we rely on so much from our loyal customers. Questions? You sir, at the back?"
you oopsed corben and wrightson?
DeleteWell, that's what happens when you let Kreemé out of the wellness area and into the master control room.
DeleteLike, oops.
That's a relief! I wondered if nefarious forces were at work.
Delete"Is heavy petting on the first date okay?
DeleteIf both parties are agreeable I mean, of course......"

No and no.
DeleteI was referring to 3D buttons worn by fans of Jet Thrust.
I recall Mr. F published an ad in GOLDMINE magazine...for several years, it seemed...back in the late 80s/early 90s...selling MU and FAPARDOKLY LPs by mail order.
ReplyDeleteIs it me, or does Fapardokly sound like a euphemism?
ReplyDeleteHow did I not realize the fabled and fabulous False Memory Foam Island© was actually the mythical land of Mu this whole time?! No wonder I keep getting lost
ReplyDeleteIt is also, in a very real sense, The Land That Time Forgot. Doug McClure has a timeshare here, and will host an upcoming feature.
DeleteThis kind of archival work is above my pay grade. Th' Fankster has a complex discography with overlapping lineups and irregular releases. The Exiles stuff is all over the place (including the Fapardokly album, where it has no right to be). The Magic Band connection is thre, of course, but the thing about th' Mer-Man is how he managed to avoid real stardom (love that word) against all the odds. He stood as much chance as anybody and more than most. Probably inked the wrong pacts at the wrong time.
ReplyDeleteLess is Mu
