Play Some New! Dept. - Th' Electric Looking Glasses

Gals! Who's your fave 'Leccie? Write us and win a dreamy date!

Y'know, pals, we here at Fabulous False Memory Foam Island© pride ourselves on being "down with the kids" and hip to the latest "happening" sounds! So get ready to be whiplashed right into the twentieth century with Th' Electric Looking Glasses! Yes, the madcap lads from La La Land have rush-released their first long-playing "L.P." record album [last year - Ed.], and man, is it ever groovy! In fact, it's electric! Their lively combination of Top Ten tunefulness and a swingin' party beat means we'll be seeing much, much more of the "Lads Electrical" in the future!

Take an in-depth look at the 'Leccies!*

🎸Arash Mafi likes Chinese food and au-go-go chicks in mini skirts!
🥁 Brent Randall digs drive-in movies and sunset strolls on the beach!
🎸Johnny Toomey enjoys goofin' around on his Honda™ Monkey 125!
🎹 Danny Winebarger likes sharing strawberry Popsicles™ backstage with fans!

Support the band by attending their "electrifying" live concert appearances or buying the three remaining copies of the album!

  1. A couple of these guys played with/were The Pansies, antecedently FoamFeatured©. If you dig them (and Green Seagull) you'll go ape over this.

    But there's a catch - to qualify for this loaddown you have to upload more data to the IoF© data fracking mainframe computer by asking it a question. Not answering, nor expecting an answer (which may or may not come). Ask something you'd like to know.

    1. That's a swell question, Arcmay! I could also ax - why is a carrot more orange than an orange?

    3. Never figured you as a fan of the Nuge, Farq.
      Tho the intro riffs to "Journey" are hella exciting.

    4. I'm very far from being a fan of the idiot. I always found the Amboy Dukes track to be an unwelcome outsider on Nuggets.

      But I can tell you why a carrot is more orange than an orange - it was genetically modified/bred to be that way by the Dutch (who then, as now, had nothing better to do) as a mark of loyalty to the House Of Orange. Previously it was a rich shade of purple.

    Seriously? Two creeps and a pair of nerds. I wouldn't do any of them, even with Kim Kardashian's "Georgia O'Keeffe".

    My question for the IoF© data fracking mainframe computer: Do I sense something homoerotic, about this post?

    1. Thanks, Babs! To answer your first question ("seriously?") - no. In fact, what little humor there is present here arises from their creepiness and nerdiness. Now you're gong to tell me *you* weren't being serious, and I fell for your ironic approach again. D'oh!

      To answer the second, if you sense something homoerotic here, then that's something only you can answer, your erotic sensibilities being mostly opaque to the rest of th' 4/5©.

  5. My question:

    Where did I put my pocketknife?

    1. If you're like me, you put it somewhere unusual so you'd remember where you'd put it.

    2. Actually, the more I think about this the more enraged I become. I don't think I've ever kept a so-called "pocket" knife in my pocket. They should call it a drawer knife, or a bowl knife. The cutlery industry should be held to account.

      Delete
    3. Many people carry a knife around with them here - France. Usually an Opinel or a Laguiole. A friend of ours - about 84 - always has her Opinel with her in her handbag.

    4. I still have a beautiful Laguiole, limited edition, from when I used to walk my dog in the Bois de Boulogne (daytime) with some cheese and saucisson for our lunch. Miss that dog.

      Funnily enough I was just trying to get my Epinol to work yesterday. It'been great for about ten years, but I now need a pair of pliers to grip the blade to open it. Soaked the hinge in 3in1 but still too stiff to open.

    6. 3-in-!©? Nah, mate! You don't wanna use that! You want WD-40, mate!

    7. Should it move, but doesn't?
      WD40

      Should it stay in one place, but doesn't?
      Gaffer tape.

    8. I'm happy to hear that when you were carrying your knife into the Bois de Boulogne it was not to reduce the local population of hookers and other assorted sex workers.

      Currently drying it out on a radiator, I think the wooden handle has swollen and makes the blade stick. Gaffer taoe to make it stay in place? No need, the clever metal bit that slides round holds the blade in place. These Frenchies they have thought of everything.

      Vive La France (other genders are now available).

    10. I'm delighted Mr. Nobleman has apparently found the fault with his knife. And as an addendum to Mr. Shark's comment above, I'd suggest the inclusion of a pair of vice-grips, that together with a stout ball peen hammer, will complete one's emergency repair kit. And, Mr. Throckmorton, I certainly hope you won't seize upon "vice-grips" as the armature for some indelicate wordplay.

  8. Does the glass look electric or is it a looking glass powered by electricity ? The title requires clarification.

  9. I've just sampled the band on YouTube - a little bit Jellyfish, a little bit XTC and with electric 12 string...sounds good to me!

    1. the beauty--a word I do not use lightly here or anywhere--of "Louie Louie" is that lit-er-al-ly anyone can play it. Eben on accident.

    3. The problem is that almost everybody plays the wrong chords.

  14. So was that a UFO in the sky in that photo Farq posted a few months back?

    While we ponder that, I have about 40 minutes of the Gerry Anderson UFO tv series library music by Barry Gray ripped from vinyl, the sound is great. I'm sure will bring back fond memories to some of the 4or5 guys.
