OT: Your house is…….

Next we have Pere Ubu, with absolutely crazy vocals of David Thomas.

This one may fall afoul of the Geneva convention

Some Yoko Ono screeches and screams should be very fitting for the occasion:

Hey, who am I to question the musical chops of the US Southern Command?


From The Mercury News:

The invasion playlist. If there’s one thing people remember about the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989-90, it’s that the U.S. military played loud music outside the Vatican embassy, where Noriega was holed up. But what was played? AC/DC has laid claim. The Clash and Van Halen also get frequent mentions.

It turns out the U.S. Southern Command actually kept track of the broadcast and included it in the “after action report” for what was known as Operation Just Cause. (That was the whole invasion. The standoff outside the embassy was Operation Nifty Package.) The document, part of the National Security Archive at George Washington University, lists dozens of songs, many of them with titles referring to Noriega’s situation:

• Danger Zone, Kenny Loggins
• Give It Up, K.C. and the Sunshine Band
• All Over But the Crying, Georgia Satellites
• Cleaning Up the Town, the Bus Boys
• Run Like Hell, Pink Floyd
• Never Gonna Give You Up, Rick Astley (They rickrolled Noriega?)
• Eat My Shorts, Rick Dees (Seriously, Rick Dees. I’d be giving myself up right then. But, hey, it wasn’t “Disco Duck.”)

Where do you find this stuff? I assume that you listened one time through these 3 gems, but my question is: have you ever listened to them twice? I bet even Hannibal Lecter would have pleaded for mercy! Hat's off to your eclectic collections!
BTW, I was able to get through my one and only trip into all three of these beauties. Never again!

As I said, I've owned all that I posted. I had the Pere Ubu on cassette, so don't have it any more. I'm not sure I'd buy it again even if it wasn't available on Youtube. The Ives is tacked onto the end of the CD of, I think, the Fourth Symphony (pretty noisy in its own right). The Zappa is in the middle of a wonderful, if avant garde, work, which I listen to a lot.

Thanks for listening -- you're brave. Oh, and I listen to the Shaggs once or twice a year. Mostly to try to figure out what Frank Zappa saw in them. I'll admit I have a soft spot for Foot Foot.

More Frank to the rescue - I think I'd want our home invader to keep wondering all night long if that was a real Mexican Poncho or a Sears poncho? By 5am he might be trying to flush himself down the toilet.

Cruel punishment

This is twisted I’m all in. Most peeps won’t know these but maybe Payback by Slayer. Gemini by Slayer is pretty twisted too as is their version of Richard Hung Himself. But it could be really creepy to entrap them in the dark and expose them to John Carpenter’s Halloween song.

Now you know why nobody likes me everybody hates me I think I’ll eat some worms….
