“My best advice to anyone who want to raise a happy, mentally healthy child is: Keep him or her as far away from a church as you can. Children are naive - they trust everyone. School is bad enough, but, if you put a child anywhere in the vicinity of a church, you’re asking for trouble.”

Paul Westerberg Releases 7-Inch as Mr. F
Per a news update on Man Without Ties (via Slicing Up Eyeballs), former Replacements frontman Paul Westerberg’s latest self-release, a 7-inch vinyl record featuring new songs “This Machine” and “Foolish Hand Shake” with a bonus digital download of “Grandpaboy’s Last Stand,” is available to order now at Nimbit Music. While the origin of Westerberg’s latest moniker, Mr. F., is unclear (Arrested Development? The Letter People?), this 3-song effort might only be a teaser for more upcoming Mr. F releases, as the cover art below cryptically reveals that something called “Son of a Depression” is on the way, as well.
Supplies are limited and only one copy per person is allowed, so, if interested, order the 7-inch for $8 + shipping thataway before they’re gone.

Kula Shaker - Hey Dude
Please get me a theme like yours!!!! I love it :DDDD
Hey there, thanks! Your “ask” feature is off so I’ll reply here. I have no clue which theme this is, I think the link at the bottom of the page will get you there. I just grabbed a FZ image from google for the background. All bits of randomness. Yours is very similar, your background image is awesome.
Kula Shaker
I’d like to hear some of your thoughts on Kula Shaker.
Hey Hugh, my co-worker recently introduced me to them last week so I don’t know much. He likes anything that hints at a Beatles influence, and I think thats how he described these guys. I very much liked the first two of their first three albums. Apparently they released a fourth in June which I haven’t heard.
Anyway, my real impression was that I thought the poppy bits sounded a lot like Jellyfish. So I introduced my co-worker to them :)

Frank Zappa / The Mothers of Invention - You Didn’t Try to Call Me
You didn’t try to call me
Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try
Didn’t ya know I was lonely?
No matter who I take home
I keep on callin’ your name
And you …
I need you so bad
You’re The One, babe
Tell me, tell me
Who’s lovin’ ya now
‘Cause it worries my mind,
And I can’t sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday
Just to wait for your call
And you didn’t try to call me
Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try
Didn’t ya know I was lonely?
No matter who I take home
I keep on callin’ your name
And you…
I need you so bad
You’re The One, babe
Tell me, tell me
Who’s lovin’ ya now
‘Cause it worries my mind,
And I can’t sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday
Just to wait for your call
I can’t say what’s right or what’s wrong
But I love you
All ya gotta do is call me, babe
‘Cause I want you
You make me feel
So excited, girl
I got so hung up on you
From the moment that we met,
That no matter how I try,
I can’t keep the tears
From running down my face,
I’m all alone at my place
You didn’t try to call me
Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try
Didn’t ya know I was lonely?
Why didn’t ya try, didn’t ya try
Didn’t ya know I was lonely?
