Funeral Pudding

"This morning, thanks to a controlled near-death experience, I was lucky enough to meet, at the far end of the blue tunnel, a man named Salvatore Biagini. Last July 8th, Mr. Biagini, a retired construction worker, age seventy, suffered a fatal heart attack while rescuing his beloved schnauzer, Teddy, from an assault by an unrestrained pit bull named Chele, in Queens. The pit bull, with no previous record of violence against man or beast, jumped a four-foot fence in order to have at Teddy. Mr. Biagini, an unarmed man with a history of heart trouble, grabbed him, allowing the schnauzer to run away. So the pit bull bit Mr. Biagini in several places and then Mr. Biagini's heart quit beating, never to beat again. I asked this heroic pet lover how it felt to have died for a schnauzer named Teddy. Salvadore Biagini was philosophical. He said it sure as heck beat dying for absolutely nothing in the Vietnam War." -Kurt Vonnegut, "God Bless You Dr. Kevorkian"

* I won't always have the absolute most current new thing, but what you can count on me for is to pan through all the shit and bring you just the gold nuggets. If you are an artist or company who doesn't want me to post your material, please let me know and I will take it down immediately, but realize I am not here to make a buck, only to help spread your sounds. Please send news or mp3s of anything musical to the above address (contact for a postal address) but please note that I will never promise to post anything... If (I think) it's great, it'll be posted... if it's good, please don't take offense if I don't post it, it doesn't mean it's bad... Don't be discouraged, outside of close family and friends enthusiasm for good music (and a buzz) is all some of us really have left!
