They're totally naked

The dominant note of the day was spending nearly three hours at urgent care when I expected to spend about half an hour tops, after which I came home to unavoidable capitalism and passed out on the couch, but [personal profile] spatch has shared with me the Wallets' "Totally Nude" (1984), a piece of catchily accordion-based pop-art punk it is impossible to be depressed through. The video may not be safe for work, but also riffs on Marcel Duchamp. I was delighted to discover the band's bassist had also been part of Marbles, with the result that I am now alternating the naked accordion with "Red Lights" (1976). By obvious association I have been put in mind of Busted Statues' "Red Clouds" (1988) and thus Consonant's "What a Body Could Do" (2002). I already had the same album's "Buckets of Flowers, Porno Mags" stuck in my head this morning, which made a change from the jazzily circling little riff I learned from Mad Love (1935). I have not yet managed to re-set the car's radio settings since last month's adventure in dead batteries, so I have to create my own late-night college station.

OMG I love this story so much! Now I need to try to find "Unsung Kansas Boy"! (Both Cocky Fox and White Clover are great band names)

Sure, absolutely you can tell him the story. And then when he tell you *his* story, I hope you post about it--or get back to me privately, whichever you prefer. I'm interested!

I just wish I could duplicate for you the face of that kid. "You? listen to Kansas?" And I was so overall music ignorant that I just had no idea what he was even getting at.
