So I went to see They Might Be Giants at the lovely Mr. Smalls Theatre which is located right outside of downtown Pittsburgh and I overhear the following conversation behind me:
Pony Tail Nerd: “So, what are we doing after the show?”
Skinny Geek: “I don’t know, I really wanna go to the nearest International House Of Pancakes, but that’s 63 miles to the west of here and I don’t think anyone else is gonna go with me!”
Pony Tail Nerd: “But that’s a really good IHOP!”
Skinny Geek: “I Know!!”
A series of questions ran through my head after hearing that:
- How do you know it’s exactly 63 miles away, did you Mapquest it?
- Is there such a thing as a ‘really good IHOP?
- Don’t you know there’s a Denny’s right down the street?
I ddin’t get a chance to ask any him any of those questions, because immediately after he said that TMBG came on stage. Maybe he knew the girl that Lewis Black overheard at the IHOP who said “If it wasn’t for my horse, I would’ve never have gotten through that year in college,” and he was going to meet her there and they were going to discuss the benefits of equine ownership.
Don’t think about either statement too much, your head will explode and you’ll die. And I don’t want you to die.
I love you.
And I need the hits.
Anways, here’s some songs from Club Epic 5, a compilation from Epic Records that features some good dance remixes.
Cyndi Lauper – She Bop (Remix
A happy-go-lucky dance song about how much masturbation kicks ass sung by a freaky looking redhead with a crazy New York accent.
Dead Or Alive – Brand New Lover (Remix)
A happy-go-lucky dance song about needing to sleep with someone else to drown the pain of a bad relationship sung by the most androgynous man ever.
Romeo Void – A Girl In Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing) (Dance Remix
A…really weird-ass song that doesn’t belong on a dance compilation. Sung by a big chick with an even bigger voice. (I refuse to call Deborah Iyall a ‘fat chick’)
