That was very quick, thanks a lot, Fibs.

I would have waited a few days and then I'd PMed you anyway, for I have seen a few posts by you mentioning this CD.

It really a twisted CD and I have laughed a lot. The idea is to repeatedly bring two lines in close proximity that just do not fit:

my heart is so full
you'd swear I had tits

or

flow, river, flow,
fuck off to the sea (I think I have seen you quoting these lines)

Depending upon the reaction I may post some more songs.

The only track that was even for my taste a bit too weird was the throwing-up song.

I remember when I got the CD I first scanned the tracklist and saw the title 'I shot Christy'. I though immediately they can't mean the one who first crossed my mind. I had my CD-player playing this track first. After one second of 'Diddle dee dee' I realised yes they can and I knew I'd like the recording.
