Skimpy post, with twice the irony & minerals...





THE GREAT KAT "Blood" mp3. A 39-second blast of pain-- the Juliard grad Kat (real name: Katherine Thomas) lets us know how much she hearts the feel, taste, smell, and everything else there is to like about the thick red stuff. Total time on this EP from '98 is a whopping 6 minutes. She uses third-person in interviews, and claims to be (among other things) God, and the reincarnation of Beethoven. So Beethoven was God. And just in case you're wondering (not really): she's a patriot, too (YouTube)! Does she scare me? Yeah.


I don't think you quite understand-- she really wants to drink our blood!


So who will come and save us?!!

UNBUNNY "Wonder Woman" mp3


That's right-- she's in her satin tights, fighting for her rights, and the old Red White and Bluuuuuuuue! (Opening credits via YouTube) Okay, so they're both patriots. How about a dissenting superheroine for a change?-- anyone in comic book world?

THE GLANDS "Two Dollar Wine" mp3. From Athens, GA-- the last track for side A. I managed to catch the Glands live once, at what used to be the High Hat (now the Firehouse). It must have been one of the last shows ever there-- and I think Patterson was still working the soundboard. Anyway, twas a spectacular set. This is the song that led me to them. Oh god, and that album cover! The homeless guy was something of an Athens legend, I don't know what happened to him, if he's still there or not... But when I first moved there, I had to get a job right away, which was at Mickey D's on the East side (of course). This guy would come in and sit all day, drink his coffee. One afternoon, a co-worker had to clean up the restrooms where he'd left some wonderful fingerpaintings on the stall walls!
