[net.music] Rotting Food for Thought

    Was anyone else blown away by a song entitled "Bits of Paper" by
    the former Sam the Shammer Percy Faith? Has anyone heard the album?
    As long as I'm in the asking mood, are there any DK freaks out there?
    Something about manic, frantically paced, paranoid music warms my heart...
    "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables" tickle anyone?
    How about "Woman" by Anti-Nowhere League?
    "Hatred" by Tonio K?
    "No Feelings" by the Pistols or Bananarama?

     How about your favorite line from a song?

Tonio K!  Yea!  I love Tonio K!

H-A-T-R-E-D is marvelous...I think the best part of the song is:
 
   I wish I was as mellow
   as, f'rinstance, Jackson Browne,
   but "Fountain of Sorrow" my ass, motherfucker,
   I hope you wind up in the ground!

The other one that I love off that album is The Funky Western
Civilization.

Actually, though, he has one marvelous song from, I believe, his
follow-up to the album "Life In The Foodchain" called "Amerika"
which is called "Cinderella's Baby."

Well, I could go on all day, but I think I'll just sit back 'til
the government falls.

 it would surely upset them." -- Tonio K

ALL RIGHT!  I was wondering if anyone else out there had ever heard this one,
or of Tonio K (Steve Krikorian) at all!  (Has anyone noticed how much Wang
Chung's "Dance Hall Days" borrows from TK's "The Funky Western Civilization"?)

How about "I wish I could be as mellow/As for instance Jackson Browne/But
'Fountain of Sorrow' my ass, zbgureshprxe/I hope you wind up in the ground!"
(from the aforementioned "H-A-T-R-E-D") or "You just grab your partner by
the hair/Throw her down and leave her there" (from TFWC)?
