Don't Ask Me What This Means

If there already wasn't enough of a reason to like Nobunny (you people DO like Nobunny, right?), his "Braceface" single from a couple of years back includes a cover of MOTO's "It Tastes Just Like a Milkshake", one of the greatest hits of the 20th century. The Nobunny version even improves on the original a little bit, adding a clever little bridge ("I wanna show you just how sweet it is....") as an extra change-up to the deal. Plus the "Braceface" sleeve is a takeoff on some Elton John record, though I'm at a loss to remember which one right now. Probably the one that has the duet with Fritz Peterson on it.

I'm A Long-Haired Hippy And I Like To Smoke Dope

I know I'm not setting any new trends by posting this, just that Nobunny is playing at Cafe Nine next week (with Medication, no less-- though I may end up not going), and "Hippy Witch" is my favorite Nobunny track. Plus, #3 is my favorite of all the "World's Lousy" 7-inchers; save for the Wax Museums track, which is kind of a throwaway, everything on here is aces, especially The Romance Novels' slightly Wreckless Eric "Whole Wide World"-ish "It's All Lies". Judging by the label artwork (or whatever), it appears that I own both pressings of this. I'm stupid that way sometimes.
