I don’t know if I have actively bad taste in music or I am the musical analog of Tom Lehrer’s old mess sergeant whose taste buds were shot off in the war.<br /><br />I am reminded of this because ’tis the season to rag on “Little Drummer Boy.” Granted that a drum solo is not what a new mother needs, but I like the sound. I liked it when the Hairy Simian Chorale did it, I liked it when Johnny Cash did it, and now my favorite is the doo-wop version by the Tokens. I also like “MacArthur Park,” melting cake and all, though I prefer the Waylon Jennings & the Kimberleys version to Dumbledore’s.<br /><br />Oh yes, and I think that pineapple, unlike cruciferous vegetables, is a nifty thing to put on pizza.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=supergee&ditemid=2463621" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/2463621.html taste public 7 https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/1979883.html Fri, 04 Aug 2017 09:33:33 GMT https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/1979883.html <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2017/jul/26/club-tropicana-kitsch-everywhere-summer-pineapples-flamingos-inflatable-lobsters">Pink flamingos</a> are back.<br /><br />Thanx to <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/">Metafilter</a><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=supergee&ditemid=1979883" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/1979883.html taste public 0 https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/1748300.html Mon, 22 Aug 2016 10:31:40 GMT https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/1748300.html <a href="http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/the-death-of-flair/">TGI Friday’s</a> goes minimalist.<br /><br />Thanx to <a href="http://www.metafilter.com/">Metafilter</a><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=supergee&ditemid=1748300" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/1748300.html taste public 0 https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/1341486.html Wed, 17 Dec 2014 10:36:54 GMT https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/1341486.html <a href="http://jalopnik.com/5724684/virginia-dmv-revokes-worlds-greatest-license-plate">Virginia DMV Revokes World's Greatest License Plate</a><br /><br />Thanx to <a href="http://avedoncarol.blogspot.com/">Avedon's Sideshow.</a><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=supergee&ditemid=1341486" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/1341486.html taste public 5 https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/944693.html Sat, 09 Feb 2013 11:54:38 GMT https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/944693.html <a href="http://freebeacon.com/greatest-living-president-is-also-fantastic-painter/">Apparently serious newspaper</a> loves George W.
