| Foam-O-Graph© - taking the Intelligence out of Artificial! |
For regular visitors to th' IoF©, the annual Metallic Pastry™ award ceremony is the red carpet event of the year! Yes, friends, prestige-wise, this gathering of the glitterati ranks above even the Eurovision Song Contest, and is hotly competed for by musicdom's finest!
Deriving from a cryptic crossword clue signifying Steely Danish, the costly trophy, hand-hewn from repurposed Styrofoam®, honors the band to most successfully replicate the standards of musical excellence and ironic collegiate style of that much-missed combo!
This year our deserving winners are Canuck swing sophisticates Monkey House, whose poolside mood perfectly evokes those lovable varsity troubadours "Walt" n' "Don"! We all "joined in the fun" [above- Ed.] as sultry, pouting marine biologist Kreemé presented them with the coveted award!
Their recent long-playing LP album Crashbox [left - Ed.] is a surefire deck party favorite, and the latest in an extensive catalog stretching back to the Diefenbaker administration!
Youthful Don [no relation - Ed.] Breithaupt [94 - Ed.], the band's lead piano player, was kind enough to grant th' IoF© an exclusive interview in which he waxed loquacious anent th' band's fascinating and oft controversial beginnings high in the snow-girt Canadian Rockies!
FT3 Heyyyy! Donsie baby! Great to have some folks from Canadia on th' isle!
DB Can I ask why every sentence in this piece ends with an exclamation mark?
FT3 Except for that one, which terminates in a query!
DB Gee whillickers, you're right!
FT3 Ha ha!
DB Ha ha!
FT3 Well, thanks for swinging by th' IoF©, Donsie!
DB My pleasure!
FT3 Seriously though folks, I think you do really well, seeing as how English ain't your first language.
DB I had to translate from the original Canadian, of course.
FT3 Did anyone ever tell you the band sounds like Steely Dan?
DB Steely who?
FT3 Steely Dan with someone who can sing. What I can't understand is why it took me so long to discover you guys.
DB I blame Grimsdale.
FT3 Right! And on behalf of th' Four Or Five Guys©, I pinch your claws, dude. Awesomeness!
DB How do you pronounce that little © again?
FT3 ©.
DB Anyway, please give away all our albums. You have my permission.
FT3 I'd love to, but I can't find that first album.
DB [frowns] Did we make one?
FT3 Ha ha!
DB Ha ha!
Today's deliverable is all their albums except the rare first (now linked in the comments by Splendid Fellow Easily Confused), presented in easy-on-th'-ear @193! You will certainly not regret downloading this swell collection! Run - don't walk! - to your neighborhood record store and buy them all!
It's joke time! There's a trend for "Dad Jokes" right now, which paradoxically ain't about Dads at all, but any boffo gag is welcome! Smoke 'em if you got 'em!
ReplyDeleteHere's a Canadian Dad Joke, to get this ball o' wax a'rollin'!
ReplyDelete"I was frying some Canadian bacon, but it kept curling!"
"What did you do?"
"Took away its little brooms!"
My twin brother called me from prison.
ReplyDeleteHe said: You know how sometimes we finish each other's sentences...
The police came to my house last night.
ReplyDeleteThey asked me, "Are you familiar with the letters HB?"
I said, "No I'm not."
Then they asked , "How about LS?"
I said, 'No."
Next they asked, "What about JD?"
I said, "Am I a suspect or something?"
They replied, "No, these are just initial enquiries!"
😂😂😂🥱😂😂 ... 55555 ... as said in Thailand!!!!!
ReplyDelete"Monkey House" are so good, I even paid for their albums.
ReplyDeleteYou mean ... *strangled voice* YOU KNEW ABOUT THESE GUYS AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?
DeleteI is disgustipated.
DeleteI thought everyone knew. I'm reliably the last to find out ANYTHING.
DeleteHere's that rare first album, at a convenient 192:

For this act of saintly altruism, I have decided you will bear our love child.
DeleteAlas and alack, I am promised to another!
DeleteVoici-voilà le link du jour, connards!

Did you hear the one about the drum kit that fell off the cliff?
ReplyDeleteBa-Dum-Tss
(only joke I can ever remember)
An eskimo is trying to repair his snowmobile in a storm.
ReplyDeleteAn engineer passing by helps him to check the engine and tells him
"Looks like you've blown a seal, mate!
Eskimo goes
"No. it's just some frost in my moustache..."
Bat
Best Of Show, so far!
DeleteIs my feeble memory playing tricks on me, or do I recall you (Farq) mentioning once that you would like to get your well-manicured mitts on Rain Parade's Crashing Dream (Expanded version)? Well damn me if it hasn't just fallen into my sumptuous lap.
ReplyDeleteIf you want it, here it is. If you don't want it, here it still is. @320. Someone may be desirous.

Gor blimey guvner! You're a right toff an' no mistake! Me an' ol' Grimsdale bless his cotton socks will 'avin' a right old knees-up tonight! You mark my words!
Delete(Incidentally, Mr. 'fused, if you'd care to have your Major Seventh comp FoamFeautured™, I'd be pleased to supply a cover.)
Dang! That would be an honour! But don't you like my cover? It's on my BB - tinyurl.com/easilyconfused if you haven't seen it. If you don't deem it Foam-worthy I'll understand.
DeleteI also got a Vol 2 all ready to go!
I didn't see it! I scrolled past it and only later thought, gee whiz, that's a heck of an idea for a comp! Put a link for both right here, if you care to, and I'm sure your covers are groovy. I'll only step in if I think they're repellent..
DeleteHere are the links to my Major 7th comps, @320
DeleteVol 1 https://workupload.com/file/6e8uEGsHXP2
Vol 2 https://workupload.com/file/NA692QsbkRF
A FLAC version of Vol 1 is available on my BB. Vol 2 FLAC will appear there at some stage.
Actually, I'd be interested to see your covers anyway. So feel free.
Thank 'ee! FoamFeatured soon!
DeleteThanks for the Crashing Dream (Expanded version) Mr.'fused.
DeleteWell I'll Be A Monkey's Uncle. Never heard of the band but I look foward to the Hearing.
