Friday? Friday? How did it get to be Friday so soon?
This week has seemingly flown by; the Holiday Season proceedeth apace. Right now, Chez Elisson is reverberating to the pounding of the Tile Guy, who is preparing our master bathroom for its brand-spanking-new tile floor. At the very least, it should make it easier to clean up those miscellaneous spatters of makeup, toothpaste, toenail clippings, earwax chunks, and Gawd knows what else. I hate to think of all the crap that has been trodden into that carpet after all the years we’ve lived here...
But you didn’t come here looking for Tales of Earwax and Carpet. You came here looking for the weekly Random Assortment of Music as disgorged by the Little White Choon-Box. And, so, let’s have a listen...

- Ballad of Bilbo Baggins - Leonard Nimoy
Created when Nimoy was riding the crest of his Star Trek fame in 1967, and when Lord of the Rings was being rediscovered by the Love Generation. The resulting tune is such a monumental Clusterfuck of Personal Mortification, I’m surprised Nimoy hasn’t slit his wrists knowing it’s out there on YouTube for everyone to snicker at. - Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring (from Bach Cantata #1 47) - Wendy Carlos
- The Contest - Stephen Sondheim, Sweeney Todd
- Organic Love - Moonraker
- Eminence Front (live) - The Who
- Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) - Green Day
- Blackbird/Yesterday - The Beatles
From the “Love” mashup album. - The Twelve Inches (with Tom Waits) - Frank Zappa
Frank Zappa and Tom Waits. Gotta love it! - Neon Meate Dream of a Octafish - Captain Beefheart
Captain Beefheart is, of course, Don van Vliet, a longtime Zappa associate. This piece of dadaist dub poetry is from the good Captain’s “Trout Mask Replica” album, one of the strangest pieces of vinyl ever created.
Lucid tentacles test ’n’ sleeved
’n’ joined ’n’ jointed jade pointed
Diamond back patterns
Neon meate dream of a octafish
Artifact on rose petals
’n’ flesh petals ’n’ pots
Fack ’n’ feast ’n’ tubes tubs bulbs
In jest incest injest injust in feast incest
’n’ specks ’n’ speckled speckled
Speckled speculation
Fedlocks waddlin’ feast
Archaic faces frenzy
Ceramic fists artificial deceased
’n’ cysts rancid buds burst
Dank drum ’n’ dung dust
Meate rose ’n’ hairs
Meaty meate rose ’n’ hairs
Meaty dream wet meate
Limp damp rows
Peeled ’n’ felt fields ’n’ belts
Impaled on ’n’ daemon
Mucus mules
Twot trot tra la tra la
Tra la tra la tra la
Whale bone fields ’n’ belts
Whale bone farmhouse
Cavorts girdled ’n’ latters uh lite
Cavorts girdled ’n’ latters uh lite
Uh dipped amidst
Squirmin’ serum ’n’ semen ’n’ syrup ’n’ semen
’n’ serum
Stirrupped in syrup
Neon meate dream of a octafish - Brazilian Stomp - George Benson and Earl Klugh
