If I had one, that is. A reader cruelly sent me a ghastly link to the Christian song stylings of Lil' Markie.
Cthulhu, take me now. My psyche is scarred.

Feeling musical this morning? Stephanie Ching sent me links to some lyrics. An old User Friendly cartoon combines Cthulhu, zombies, and brains, and then there's the unspeakable: this guy has written a song for John Tesh. If anything is going to rouse the sleeping Old Ones that lie in lost R'Lyeh,…
Grrlscientist is pushing another of those online quiz thingies—What's Your Theme Song?—and it was quick and easy, so I took it. Now I'm horribly scarred. Especially compared to my fellow science bloggers, I got a result that disturbs me deeply. I may end up getting kicked off scienceblogs over this…
One century, you've got Bach, another century, you've got Li'l Markie. Christianity has really gone downhill from its prior status as the font of funding for culture and art and intellectual endeavor to being the being the bottom of the barrel source for kitsch and crap. Case in point: Denyse O'…
There are intelligent true believers, deluded as they are, but there also a few of them out there who will simply take your breath away with statements of such pretentious stupidity that you wonder how they manage to tie their shoes in the morning. Case in point: David Klinghoffer. If you're…

It could have been worse. On my initial scan of the article, without really reading it, I saw Biz Markie instead of Lil. Think about how horrible that would be and shudder.
And then imagine him doing xtian songs.
Scarring.
On the bright side, I imagine that if one were high, this would be nothing less than the best thing ever.
Not that I condone that sort of behavior.

No. Trust me. No.
Did you read the live journal blog? Bleeeeech.
The scariest thing about those songs is when the falsetto falters, and you hear his real voice come through. Rather like the strange, inappropriate questions in the teenagers' chatroom revealing that "Becky, 12" is actually "Norman, 40". Horripilation!
Oh. I finally got up the nerve to try the songs, and see that the livejournal is made of the lyrics to the song. Now it's even worse.
I think Biz Markie would be better.
Speaking of ipecac...

I've run into Mark Fox before. I always got e-mail about him when I put him on my audioscribbler.
If you're interested here's a video. Don't say you haven't been warned.
OH, and if you're interested, an old video from the early 1990's turns up here and there on e-bay. Finding his cds (titled vol. 1 and vol. 2 respectively) is a bit harder. If you snoop around on the WFMU blog, you can locate the rest of the album.
Here's the link again since it doesn't seem to be working.

Wow. Just wow. I don't like to post obscenities using my employer's server and computer so I won't comment further.
I'm going to have to put on some Gregorian chant, followed by some Hildegard, the Bach B-minor Mass and Jesu, meine Freude, the Mozart C-minor mass, the Verdi Requiem, the Britten War Requiem, the Penderecki St. Luke Passion, Ligeti's Lux Aeterna, some Sacred Harp singing and maybe Judy Collins' recording of Amazing Grace and/or Joan Baez doing Swing Low Sweet Chariot at Woodstock when I get home to purge this from my system. This will easily take me into the wee hours, but it will be worth it. Indeed, I feel like I have little choice.
How can anyone look at literally millenia of wonderful Christian religious music and turn around and send this out into the world? Is it possible it's a really out-there satire and I'm just missing the point, like those guys who think The Onion is for real?
Best, Marc
"Why did you kill me, Mommy?"
Makes me laugh every time I hear that. My favourite local morning radio show ran that as part of bit for some time. I laughed every time they played it. Still is funny to me.
