Star Trek VIII: The Search For Spock's Hammer

The essential and always fabulous Planet Xtabay links to the motherlode of celebrity vanity music in mp3 format, Spaced Out: The Very Best of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner (a complete oxymoron if I ever heard one), and Shatner's ultimate vinyl freakout, The Transformed Man. So if you've got a taste for audio torment, download Spock's tuneless crooning on If I Had a Hammer, or the Shat's wiggy post-modern rendition of Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds. That must've been one bad trip, baby!

And if you're feeling suicidal, for god's sake don't listen to Nimoy reciting Desiderata, which for some bizarre reason, was retitled Spock's Thoughts. It's sappy and stupid enough without the sincerely insincere reading that blasted green-blooded Vulcan saddles it with.

[sniff] Now I miss the Captain Kirk Sing-a-long page.

Thanks, and a bowl of virtual chicken soup to the Bubblegumfink who unlike me, still finds great links even when he's sick.

Tammy Faye Go Away

Just in time to celebrate its 1-year "blogiversary" and right in line with the subject matter of my last couple of posts, PCL has released a free musical comp entitled Christianity Vs. Satanism: 20 mp3s of songs and spoken-word recordings that includes such gems as the Church of Satan's founder, Anton LeVay, performing the old Billie Holliday chestnut, Gloomy Sunday and über-creepy Christian ventriloquist's dummy, Little Marcy, singing Devil Go Away.

But for my money, the most bizarre cut on this comp has to be Tammy Faye Bakker's The Devil's After Me, which she delivers in an incredibly annoying, high-pitched squeal of a voice that puts me in mind of a manic Shirley Temple, whacked out of her gourd after having consumed a bit too much of The Good Ship Lollipop. As far as I'm concerned, having to endure listening to this ought to immediately qualify me for sainthood.

So stop by PCL to wish Sebastian a very Swedish "Hipp, hipp... HURRA!" on his bloggy birthday, download this puppy, and choose which side you're going to spend all eternity with.
