Post title sounds like the name of the next Belle and Sebastian album.

Does anyone actually remember this video?

Why do I get the feeling the Republicans will put Brown and Palin up for their 2012 ticket?
Barbie and Ken....
Substance-Free (in the brain department)

After tomorrow, I imagine there will be a corporate sponsorship. The official title should be something like, "Palin/Brown brought to you by News Corp, Cigna and Chase."

So what does this all mean? (@2:35 PDT)

@5: I don't, but from that information available on the song, it was evidently issued in 1982 (whereas I was thinking it sounded more like a summer '83 song). It never charted in the Billboard Top 100. Whether it was a "bubbled under" single isn't something that can find out right now.

What online references there are on Digney Fignus or on the song seem to be a bit sketchy: one source claims that it charted at #10 on MTV's video countdown. This is a ever-slightly problematic, because MTV didn't begin producing a weekly video countdown show until March 1984, around the time The Cars' "You Might Think" was a charting single. I'll have to keep looking into this.

(And if you're wondering why the long answer, this period is covered by the kind of music research I do — though not usually so with American music. That said, there was a vibrant Boston music scene in the early to mid 1980s. Face to Face, 'til tuesday, The Cars, and others came from this scene.)

Please wait...
