Nano, schmano.

He says, fatuously, after looking over story notes for an all-new RED SHIFT live show in January and already scrabbling together half a draft of its first episode, while using spare brain cycles to hammer out the episodic structure of the second studio-recorded series with Michael and also planning post-production work on the first series with Neil.

So the dog's gonna have a lung ailment, or I'm gonna have to go with an exhaling bark instead of an inhaling one.

That reminds me of Doug MacKenzie's bedtime story about Ralph the Dog who gets into a fight with five other dogs, one of whom has emphysema because, as you know, dogs are heavy chain smokers.

But oh em gee, I remember Fred Newman's book! He was a god among crazy kids who wanted to do funny things with their voices back in the 80s. I think I was the only one in my city. I checked the book out from the library many times, but sadly there was no record inside.

The new version has a CD-ROM so you can watch and learn, but really all books should come with floppy records inside, like Billy & The Boingers Bootleg.

Fun note: looking up the Wikipedia entry on Flexi-disc, which I guess is the proper name for those floppy things, I discovered that the Soviet underground jazz scene used to distribute recordings on discarded X-rays, called roentgenizdat. That is undoubtedly the coolest thing I'll read today, unless someone on my friendslist gets attacked by a ninja or something.

One of my best Napster/Soulseek/Whatever acquisitions was Cuz I'm A Boinger on MP3. However I don't think I was able to get the B-Side, U Make Me Sick (But I Love U).
