Probably the influence of the Hawai‘i sign across the street, but I could swear the song on the radio was “My Kind of Lava”

Phoenix Rhyme
I still think this Aimee Mann lyric should be:
Got out of Phoenix
Just in time
A box of Kleenex
For the rhyme
…instead of the real words, which finish with “for the ride.”
Scary Fragile on CD
When Butterfly Boucher’s new album, Scary Fragile, came out in June, I didn’t really pay attention to format. I just bought it as an MP3 album for convenience. I didn’t even notice that it was digital-only at the time, but I just got an email for the “physical release” of the album on September 15 and a new concert tour.
The newsletter was a bit confusing, though, because we bought a CD at her concert in June so that we’d have something for her to sign! I guess she must have had a small run printed just for the summer concert tour.
Skipper Dan
“Weird Al” Yankovic’s song “Skipper Dan” has been stuck in my head on-and-off all weekend. Living near Disneyland makes it that much more funny. And did I mention there’s a video?
Hero, Headlines & Spam
- Just learned “Holding Out for a Hero” is cowritten by Jim Steinman. Explains why it keeps turning into “Good Girls Go to Heaven” in my head
- Writing for Twitter
- Spam vs SPAM. I suspect it’s way too late to close the barn door on this one. Kinda like “hacker.”
