likeable cheez

Listening to some late '80s/early '90s pirate radio techno and marveling that Sesame's Treet was ever considered underground :P But then, Alvin and the Chipmunks style vocals and the rrrrrring hoover was both pretty standard for the genre ~15 years ago and unlike anything in the then top-40. Besides, context matters - it makes more sense at high volume on a late-night dancefloor than it does on an average home system.

Likewise, Adam Ant's "Apollo 9" is pretty catchy even though the lyrics make no sense. The video is amusing too, if only for the first documented appearance of "man pink" and a Benny Hill cameo. Besides, young Adam was awfully pretty ;)

the first photos are up!

Florence 2008 is here, and I'm tagging by site where the photos were taken - the first round is from the Stibbert. It includes 15th-19th century dress and both East and Western arms and armor (smallsword/rapier enthusiasts, I took a LOT)!

Enjoy and feel free to comment - my own descriptions are peppered with questions and I'd love feedback!
