The Laughing Fit brings you the first musical suggestion of the season. Any season will do. Sraight from the land of Deutschland we propose that you purchase (or download from iTunes) The Robocop Kraus' album - They Think They Are The Robocop Kraus.
While their music may not be everyon's cup of tea I am particularly fond of their lyrics. They play with words in a lornesque fashion. Check out "In Fact You're Just Fiction" for a sample of that. Enjoy the tune. For it is a tune.
From The Phoenix Review:
"Kinetic grasshopper melodies, sing-song vocal lines and group chant choruses, perky and bright synthesizer licks, skewed rhythms, and outbursts of power-strummed guitars all serve slyly cynical but inoffensive lyrics that rant and wonder about religion, terrorism, and life’s banalities and amazing improbabilities. If that sounds like Talking Heads, Devo, and Kraftwerk tumbled into a cosmic blender, well, so do the Robocop Kraus. Even better, their occasional funky underpinnings have a distinctly white European brittleness that comes off as geeky charm."

We interrupt this series dedicated to a dictionary of comedy in order to award the Madame in Charge of the Blog called Out Loud and Proud with this Oscar. The jury unanimously agreed that her unshamefaced plea for a prize as well as her "couldn't be arsed approach" to all things blog earned her the much coveted prize. She also posseses a colourful sense of humour with a few tints of sexual not so innuendos. The jury wonders out loud (and not so proud) as to the nature of the blogger's sexual deviance and hopes that our Wild Oscar that is being awarded will cause the Madame to post a photo of her in yet another flagrantly provocative pose ... a mooney would do!
Meanwhile C.S. is allowed to cut and paste the above photo award and display it on her site as the GMBD Award 2006 (with acknowledgement as to the awarding site of course). We do not really expect her to do it... but bollocks to that anyway. May all her dildos fall flabbily on the wayside. And as an afterthought... the Black Russian guise was fantastic...
