Dreams Of Noise

HI TOM MY NAME IS SHOEBOX AND I MAKE SONGS SOMETIMES MY CAT SITS ON MY SHOULDER AND NUDGES AWAY THE COFFEE CUP EVERY TIME I TRY TO DRINK OUT OF IT AND THEN I HAVE A LOUSY MORNING AND CAN ONLY TALK IN UPPERCASE WITH NO PUNCTUATION OKAY BYE

From:

Obviously, ShoeBox has been making friends with Mister Triple Ripple Frappaccino w/ extra Jolt. I think, amigo, that the cat actually saw the caffiene waves boiling off the surface, and was only thinking of your welfare (or else that if he got ahold o' that shit, the mice are screwed -- the ol' Jean-Tom thing from Gay Purr-ee (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008MTY9/tomsmithonlin-20)).

WASHINGTON - Famous for its fall foliage, quaint towns and covered bridges, the state of Vermont — and its charm — is threatened by a corporate behemoth, a nonprofit preservation group warned on Monday. The alleged culprit: Wal-Mart.

Because of plans for several new Wal-Mart Supercenters across the state, the National Trust for Historic Preservation has placed the entire state of Vermont on its 2004 list of the most endangered historic places in the United States.

Hmmm. Their official website (http://www.fruvous.com/) hasn't had a "significant content update" since June 28, 2002.

From:

Q: How many Früheads does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: None. We all insist that the old, burned-out bulb is just "on hiatus."

I saw Früvous' last public performance (February 2001 in Toronto) and I am afraid that it'll probably prove to be their last ever. I'd love to be wrong about that. I'd go anywhere to see them perform again. I'm still going to put my parody of "Boo Time" on my filk CD.

I was thinking about doing a They Might Be Giants version of this...

I had a really hard time deciding between Meat Loaf, the Ramones, and the Cars...but song title wise, there was really only one choice.

Describe how you love: IGNORANCE IS BLISS (alternate and possibly more disturbing: PET SEMETARY)

Share a few words of wisdom: EAT THAT RAT

From:

And now I'm REALLY glad I didn't pick Meat Loaf. This response wasn't here when I originally started composing mine.

I kinda guessed when I heard "PQR" and "Heat of the Blood" that you were probably a Meat/Steinman fan.

Awesome.

From:

For all future references to fear of my impending fatherhood, please reference the song "I'm Gonna Procreate," available for download here. And buy my CD. Yeah. :)

From:

Remind me to tell you how I got to sing a duet with Mr. Lee Aday himself, sometime!

From:

During the Storytellers tour, I'm guessing? He did a lot of interacting during that one. :)

From:

>Describe how you love: IGNORANCE IS BLISS (alternate and possibly more disturbing: PET SEMETARY)

.... Bloody furry!

From:

No, actually.

It was during the "grand finale" of his show at the Mandalay Bay this last November, when he was doubling with Cindy Lauper (who was pretty good, herself, even if she didn't sing "Good Enough").

From:

No, I'm most DEFINITELY not a furry. That's a viking hat and a mullet in my picture, not a Yak costume. :)

From:

Ah, coolitude!! I saw him on the tour with Cyndi Lauper as well (though I missed most of her set in favor of having a nice long dinner.) I was kinda disappointed by his voice on that tour...and some of his song selections...but at least I got to see him on what's supposed to be his last world tour.

So how did you end up dueting with him, dammit?

From:

Parody of "Boo Time..." hrm...

Shrew Time? Spew Time? Jew Time? Shamu Time?

But if it's on a filk CD, I'm thinking Groo Time. :)

Oh, and a TMBG answer to this question would rock.

From:

Hi! I remember you! You have all the hair in the friggin' WORLD! My humble mullet bows before your follicly affluence.

I really wish I had some cake right now cuz cake is good.
