| Foam-O-Graph© - "Mommy! Make it go away!"™ |
You'll know granite-jawed Rock Hudson from his steamy scenes with Doris Day in such wholesome cinematic fare as Lesbian Lavatory Lust, Rim Job!, Amputee Rape Carnival 2, and Mental Home Mayhem [are you sure about this? - Ed.], but did you know he's also ahead of th' R.I.A.A. curve in his passion for home entertainment, hi-fi style? That's right, subscribers!
Rock invited us into his subterranean man-cave to demonstrate his swell new audio set-up! "It's powered by a core bundle of Strontium-90 isotypes, delivering 6.5 watts R.M.S. through a modded Orbitrap mass spectrometer, enabling high-resolution native MS analysis of 0.8- to 2.3-MDa prokaryotic 30S, 50S and 70S ribosome waveforms and the 9-MDa Flock House virus. The instrument's improved mass range and sensitivity exposes unexpected binding of the ribosome-associated protein S.R.A., with a wide soundstage, crisp highs, and a firm, buttery bottom end! How I like it!"
Rock demonstrated the set-up's impressive sound with a favorite album! "I have to say, I was a little disappointed after buying it mail order [laughs] because the title sounded, uh, attractive - but it's a swell platter and I'm sure th' Four Or Five Guys© will dig it!"
Recognize long-playing L.P. record spinning on Rock's gleaming spindle? If you do, leave clew, hint, cunning allusion in comment! Don't name directly!
Since last week's Foam-O-Graph© kwiz was a little too tricky for youse bums, this one's E-Z like Sunday morning!
ReplyDeleteJust a darn minute -- they made a SEQUEL to Amputee Rape Carnival? (rushes off to check Netflix, conveniently forgetting about album cover game what I ain't never been no good at nohow)
ReplyDeleteSome fans prefer the sequel with Rock standing in for Chuck Norris as "Stumpy", others criticize the "lazy" writing and "lack of chemistry" between Hudson and Barbara Bel Geddes ("Nurse Gusset").
DeleteI thought the original was Ballardian in its dystopian perversity and its ...errr... groundbreaking use of prosthetics.
DeleteI loved it when he played Stumpy in Hemingway's Islands In The Stream.
DeleteDolly n' Kenny really nailed the theme song, too!
DeleteNot a clew about album. But I do like good hi-fi like Rock does. So may I pass on a sad/funny hi-fi story?
ReplyDeleteOh great (If you're not into hi-fi stop reading now), well my friend had a very expensive vinyl set-up in the late 90's, I only heard it once, but it sounded pretty good. Anyway short of money, he needed to sell his expensive record deck (Linn Sondek). So a buyer came round to listen to the deck fitted with its expensive moving coil cartridge, but was not impressed with the sound "Can I take a look at the back of the amplifier?" he said, took a quick look, "the cartridge selecter switch is set for moving magnet, I'll just put it on moving coil" he said, and with that, the sound coming out of the system improved dramatically. Sat down, listened again, "That's better" he said "I'll have it". My friend was rather upset he's never ever heard the deck sound so good, he let Donald Fagens Nightfly come to the end, while the chap counted out the money. Ha, ha, ha h,h,h,h huh... hey guys funny or what.
This didn't happen to me, oh no siree, I'm not that stupid to have an amplifier set for the wrong cartridge type for 2 years, and all the time thinking 'it just doesn't sound right'.
Oh have I told you the one about the time I.....
Good story.
DeleteDon't know about the nature of this record but was it recorded by ex Yardbird guitarist Jeff's sibling ?
