The funniest costumes I’ve heard and saw were:

-Captain Crunch
-John Denver with Kermit the Frog
-1970’s John McEnroe (short shorts, long socks, headband, wooden racket and all).

I also have a Dinosaur Jr. CD which was put out by the BBC and has a bunch of live songs. I don’t have it on me and can’t remember the name, but it is definitely worth buying. I’ll let you know later. It’s got a black cover with a weird picture of a round fanged face. The liner has a nice introductory comment of the album.

No turntable, but a CD changer (60 disc). Don’t worry it’s not all full.

Jane’s Addiction – Jane’s Addiction
Wilco – Being There
Billy Bragg – Back to the Basics
Richard Thompson – Small Time Romance
Richard Thompson – Rumour and Sigh
Stephen Malkmus – Stephen Malkmus
Jimmy Eat World – Bleed American
Incubus – Make Yourself
Elvis Presley – Greatest Country Songs
The Smiths – Louder than Bombs
Radiohead – OK Computer
Lots of others to satisfy the mood I’m in at the moment.

I vaguely remember one of my screaming tree albums as being an SST album. They’re earlier albums are great.

Agree with the Prine song, here are those lyrics:
Black faces pressed against the glass
Where rain has pressed it’s weight
Wind blown scarves in top down cars
All share one western trait
Sadness leaks through tear-stained cheeks
From winos to dime-store Jews
Probably don’t know they give me
These late John Garfield blues

Midnight fell on Franklin Street
And the lamppost bulbs were broke
For the life of me, I could not see
But I heard a brand new joke
Two men were standing upon a bridge
One jumped and screamed you lose
And just left the odd man holding
Those late John Garfield blues

An old man sleeps with his conscience at night
Young kids sleep with their dreams
While the mentally ill sit perfectly still
And live through life’s in-betweens

I’m going away to the last resort
In week or two real soon
Where the fish don’t bite but once a night
By the cold light of the moon
The horses scream- the nightmares dream
And the dead men all wear shoes
‘Cause everybody’s dancin’
Those late John Garfield blues

[mikekane]

He’s got more balls than a big brass monkey
He’s a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
Sly as a fox and crazy as a loon
Payday comes and he’s howlin at the moon

John Prine

[mikekane]

I’m the killer of people
You look like a meatball
I pull out your toothpick
And ask for your giveness

Jane’s Addiction
