Noting Young Matt’s latest Friday Top Ten (particularly his “Favorite Song,” which certainly falls very high on my own list as well), I thought I might attempt to illuminate. Or, no… not illuminate. What’s that other word…?
Sartre once said, “Hell is other people.” (He said, exactly, “The Infernal is the peoples others.”) He was quite right, in that I, Neddie Jingo, am, by definition, other people. I can’t be you, can I? You have no idea what it’s like inside here. It’s, well, hell.
Let’s put on our Maurice Chevalier skimmers and twirl our bamboo whangees, describing a gentle buck-and-wing to the following, remembering the founding precept that “Dair’s no-seeng, like lee-tail gairls!”:
Ain’t it just like the night to play tricks
When you’re trying to be so quiet?
Oui, si t’heure ce-te-rondette
D’eaux oui auldouine hart baise-tu dit n’aille y-te
En Louise eault s’a enfeuille au-vraine
Tontine y’eux tu dit-faille y-te
L’aille-te flic-q’heure on-dit au poisite l’auffe
On-dit ce-reume dit-y-ce paille je scauffe
Dit-con tristé chien pliet-sauf
Boutaire n’eautine, rit-lui-n’eautine
Tout-heure n’auffe
Jus Louise
En-heure louvaire s’eaux Antoine!
En dix Visions au Johanna
D’anneault qu’on qu’eur maille maïn…
Well….
If you can figure that out, you deserve a cookie.
Enjoy the funniest prank call I’ve ever heard: Tom Scharpling and Jon Wurster’s “The Music Scholar.”
Wurster, the drummer for Superchunk, calls in to Scharpling’s WFMU radio show pretending to be the most pompous Rock Snob ever, claiming to have seen the Beatles perform live in 1964 when he was six — and declaring the rot to have already set in.
I know guys like this.
I may even BE a guy like this.

Jon Wurster. Jesus. I AM back in college. That is something to treasure time and time again. Think of the intestinal fortitude it took to keep it going that long without losing it.
“YOU know him as…”
What a genius. “Meat Puppets….what’s the difference between that and Hotel California…”
You have to hand it to that poor DJ. “Have you ever heard 45 minutes of silence…? Oh, my God…you haven’t lived…”
“Oh, son, you need to go back to school big-time…oh come on, son…you need to listen and shut up…why’nt you play something from Bridges To Babylon…”
“I’ll be back to take you to school one more time…”
I thought it couldn’t get any funnier and then he goes on with the horrible, horrible ’90’s rock. Oh, my god is that funny.
Let’s all listen to this a lot so we can quote it like Tap or M. Python.
Guy actually makes me want to hang out with drummers. A motherfucking plus.
Pepper:
No cookies for me. But I almost punched out a guy at a Mission of Burma show at the Fillmore. This 20-year-old cretin was standing there yak yak yakkin’ about the band. He claimed to have seen them in Boston when he was a twinkle in his momma’s eye. Oooooh … he almost caught some Pepper Wrath.
The lead singer of Superchunk also almost caught some Pepper wrath from me once … oof.
Matt:
Thanks for sharing that clip, Neddie — it’s hilarious, and brilliant.
