Minor pimpage

[elfs]

The past week I've been enjoying a flashback to the '80's, courtesy of Brent Bourgeois, a minor pop star who has had only two hits to his name, the MTV-driven "I don't mind at all" and the weaker "Dare to fall in love." I have his first two albums, so I decided to rip them and put them on the MP3 player. (I didn't buy his follow-on albums because he'd found Gawd(tm) and had become a little preachy in his later years.)

The solo album is better than his first, which was a duet with Larry Tagg, although it didn't sell nearly as well. Songs like "The Real Thing" and the very unradio-friendly but cuttingly wonderful "Shit Out of Luck," about being an out-of-work studio recording artist, really work well. If there's pop music in Valhalla, it sounds like this.

And another for jatg, kyriani and those who spend their days hunched over the drawing board: Drawn!, a website for illustrators, artists, and other creative types who steal need inspiration.
