    (I think they're equally great.)

    Perhaps - but Gloria Jones doesn't render me impotent with weary contempt for the sick comedy of it all.

    But if I was stocking my own personal torture chamber, it would have to be Philip Glass. Einstein on the Beach, the repeat button locked with super glue and you’ve broken every law of God, Man and nature.

    Or if you're feeling particularly mean-spirited...

    Raise you some John Barrowman. :-)

    I see your 'Barrowman does Cole Porter like a proper time-travelling omnisexual ho-bag should" and raise you "John Barrowman gets more excited by Carol Burnett than you'd think possible".

    It is - for the next few days at least - the greatest album ever released:

    I'm trying to imagine what the auditions were like. "You have thirty seconds to make at least twenty different plausible orgasm noises or this adorable kitten gets fed to this not-at-all cute puppy. Three, two, one, GO!"

    I think we need some Proclaimers here somewhere. How about with this recent novelty video?

    When it comes to David Tennant doing a Dennis Potter, you can’t go past the bizarre majesty that is __Blackpool__…

    Oh, and anyone who says show tunes are stupid can BITE ME in triple time.

    And one song I love for reasons I can’t quite fathom, because it also scares the shit out of me? This Mortal Coil’s cover of ‘Song To The Siren’… (WARNING: CLIP NSFW AS ONLY DAVID LYNCH SEXY TIME CAN BE.)

    And this from the series finale of 'Twin Peaks' -- Little Jimmy Scott will see you in the Sycamore Trees. Nice knowing ya'...

    I know some people have special feelings about Tears for Fears' 'Shout'. But it is horrid.

    Not as horrid as 'Head Over Heels', which just adds that pinch of extra awfulness to Donnie Darko (which really really doesn't need it):

    Bloody disco bloody land.

    How I wish that was a real place…

    It is in all of our hearts.

    Obligatory posting of The Middleman’s inspirational monologue from Mr Whit Stillman’s sublime The Last Days of Disco

    And, apropos of absolutely nothing, I’d probably have more of a social life if more live gigs were like this:
