juldea: (99 Mooninites)
[personal profile] juldea
Dear ladies, gentlemen, and assorted rabble,

I am pleased to present to you, for the first or possibly second time on LiveJournal,

The Mooninite Brand Timewasting Association


This illustrious musical duo is an attempt on the part of [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel and I to bring some kind of "legitimacy" to our musical endeavors out in the world. And by endeavors, I mean "99 Mooninites."

Speaking of, WE'VE GOT THE MP3 UP, KIDS. Find it here: http://www.spatch.net/TMBTA-99Mooninites.mp3 (Please save to your hard drive, do not stream. Streaming makes kittens and puppies cry.)

And speaking of legitimacy, um, well, okay this has gotten completely out of control. Seriously, Spatch wrote a funny parody, I was home alone and bored, I liked it, I managed to find a karaoke track, and I sang some stuff, and now... We've had airplay on Revenge of the Particle, [livejournal.com profile] emiofbrie's show on Dementia Radio. The Great [livejournal.com profile] lukeski has asked for the song to be sent to him and a PodCasting friend of his. And we're about to unveil it to [livejournal.com profile] b0st0n... (Edit: done.) Be afraid.

I will say it right here and now: I never planned for this kind of thing to happen. I'm not a fantastic singer, and there are plenty of folk out there who could rock this more than I could. But I guess I'm the one who took the bait... so let's see where this hook takes us.

So now you are a pop star! Now what? Tours? Groupies? Stalkers? Scandals blown out of proportion by the media?

Depends, what're you offering? *winkwink*

You know, 15 seconds before I got that comment I had just finished using Google News to search for adjectives people used to precede the phrase "pop star" or "pop idol", so that I could be silly in my LJ. That failed, but I found an awful lot of articles about people throwing their underwear. *grin*
Posted by [identity profile] ratatosk.livejournal.com
Actually, it looks like failure to negotiate thrown underwear (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6322177.stm) has in fact cause a multi-million dollar lawsuit recently. An opera singer breached a contract to appear on stage with an Australian pop star, saying "I was concerned about the knickers or underpants and underwear apparel being thrown at him and him collecting it and obviously holding it in his hands as some sort of trophy. How could I, in my classical form, perform in this way?"

This is, of course, where she goes wrong -- if she had only sat down and worked out sensible terms for the throwing of underwear, I'm sure that swooning fans, security, and the concert promoters could have worked something out that she liked. I mean, it looks like she is thinking "knickers!", and that would disturb me too. Has she considered all thrown underwear possibilities? If at the concert gate you strip-searched all the fans to make sure they were wearing more appealing underwear, you would never have this problem.

Clearly, you should develop a set of comprehensive thrown-underwear guidelines _before_ going on tour. What kinds of underwear do you prefer to have thrown at you? How do you want it thrown? Are there certain fans you want to allow or encourage to throw their underwear? You should probably practice this at rehearsals so that you are good at handling it when the time comes -- "the show must go on" and all that.

I'm taking "International Business Transactions" this semester, but I don't think this is the sort of "transaction" the professor had in mind when he wrote the syllabus.

Hey, if Van Halen can insist on a bowl with all the brown ones removed, that's totally reasonable!

I can not believe you were so irresponsible as to make this recording publicy available! On top of the productivity lost during the original scare we are now going to lose even more valuable worker time listening to this song! The global economy can not withstand such disruptions!

On behalf of everyone with an Internet connection, an MP3 player, a radio, or ears I am initiating a class-action lawsuit. You should expect to hear from my lawyer shortly!
