Elderly Lesbians Choose Their Album O' Th' Year Dept.

 

Goytrude (left) and Oyma on th' cusp o' th' musical zeitgeist, yestiddy.

🎅🏼Longtime grifters at th' IoF© may remember, if their meds have kicked in, our regliar Yuletide feature hosted by saucy sapphic seniors Gertrude and Irma, wherein they choose their Album o' th' Year. So, what have our sexy scissor sisters been turning on their hearing aids - and each other! - for this year?


Irma: I liked that one album by that fat girl.

FT3: Adele? I think that was last year?

Gertrude: We did her already, Irma.

Irma:  (giggles) We should be so lucky.

Gertrude: (gestures) Elbow deep in that bi-

FT3: (cutting in) So! Have you liked any new albums this year?

Irma: Garcia's People.

Gertrude: (raises fist in solidarity, rips out I.V. drip) Solid, Jackson!

FT3: Garcia Peoples.

Irma: What?

FT3: The band's called Garcia Peoples.

Gertrude: (farts audibly, sniffs) That makes a shitload of no sense.

FT3: (fanning air) What about the difficult second album by Fernweh?

Irma: Fernweh? Fernmeh, more like. I think I speak for us both in lamenting the shift to a harder-edged sound and losing the ruralist influence that made the first album so special.

Gertrude: Blow it out yer ass.

FT3: She just did. Any albums by broads? Sorry - chicks. Dames.

Irma: Lana Del Rey moistens my oyster.

FT3: But the records? Seriously? Can she even, like, sing?

Irma: Who gives a shit? Nobody, apparently.

FT3: What about the new Neil? World Record?

Irma: Not as good as Barn. 

Gertrude: I think ... I'm having a diaper failure ...

Irma: Without me? Again?

    1. I have hopes for the new Harvey Mandel. Not spun it yet.

      Delete
    2. ditto for the Harvey Mandel. & awaiting FZ's Waka/Wazoo!

      Delete
    3. Looking forward to that Zappa, too. Hasn't shown up yet.

      Delete
    4. I played it, too. Doesn't sound like the Mandel I was expecting & only 28 minutes long? Wouldn't want more though, as it all sounded about the same (not good, IMO). Much prefer HM & the Snake Crew from 2008!

    5. Is it deliberately meant to sound so lo-fi? 28 minutes of mud.

      Delete
    6. What I used to love about his playing was his melodic sense (and tone, of course). None of that here.

      Delete
    7. "28 Minutes of Mud" would make for a good title...Truth in advertising!

    8. Harvey is not a well man, and sadly it shows on 'Who's Calling'.
