This is most unexpected, and most appreciated!
I (HEART) YOU ILXOR GUYS! Who else could make parsing the syntax of an elderly rock critic or debating the merits of a free skate mag seem like the most nail-bitingly exciting thing to do on a Friday night in Tokyo / Paris / Berlin / London? Who else could make me check into internet cafes in Patpong, Bangkok, just to see how the threads are going? Who else would huddle round screens with me to co-write 'The Tragickal Historie of Michael Jackson'?
Thank you thank you thank you and, again, SOB!

We're gonna let 2nd grade out early todayWhich made little Mikey kinda blueHe just turned 7 years old that dayAnd he thought he'd get a party at schoolHe walked back home and he's taken off his guardThere's chairs and tables all over the yardAnd his friends jumped up and they hollered real hard,"Happy Birthday to You!"
CHORUS:
It makes me think of the good old daysHappy birthday to youYou sure grew out of your baby waysHappy birthday to you(7th 23rd, 92nd) birthday we wish you many moreHealth and wealth and friends by the scoreCut the cake and let's eat some moreHappy birthday to you
Now Mike's 22 and he's working for his PopAnd his head's full of business thru and thruHe was planning out a whole new system at the shopAnd he forgot he had a birthday dueHe drove back home and he's taken off his guardThere's chairs and tables all over the yardAnd his friends jumped up and they hollered real hard,"Happy Birthday to You!"
CHORUS
Now it's old man Michael in a rocking chairAdmiring the viewHe's still got all his teeth and he's still got all his hairAnd today he's 92He turns in his seat and he's taken off his guardThere's chairs and tables all over the yardAnd his friends jumped up and they hollered real hard,"Happy Birthday to You!"

Today, on your birthday, I saw your wisdom in a country music song. Canada's Country Music Television was playing at my gym, and I heard the unmistakable sound of a Roland CR-78 drum machine providing the rhythm for the track, which is apparently a Top 20 country hit here in The Great White North at the moment... What do you want to bet the guitars were GigaSampler or physically modelled versions?
I look forward to hearing what nails you have hit on their heads with Oskar, your birthday present to me today!
Cheers!

yesterday, while i was having a look at a small cd shop in naraspecializing in french pops and shibuya-kei, in walked two japanesegirls looking for momus cds. the owner sold them a copy of 'oskar'calling it 'kanari saikou' (~pretty supreme), and tried to sellthem a vinyl 'poison boyfriend' but the girls only wanted cds.

he was also raving to them about a barbarella soundtrack, but theydidn't bite. in short, one gloriously psychological little cd shop, made all the more psycho by the fact that his wife was sitting therein a pretty insane looking red hat and dress.
