one of life's great mysteries... a few months back i found a copy of george michael's "faith" record at goodwill. it was a buck or something like that, so of course i picked it up. and i got it home and it skipped really bad all the time.

here it is, months later, and i'm just about to melt it into a fashionable record hat or something; i throw it on the record player to make sure it's scratched beyond any kind of listening and why the hell is it playing fine now?!!?!?

that same day i also got this interesting looking record called "a slice of lemon". it had a great oldskool party happening on the cover and some cool old songs like "downtown" on it. i listened to it for the first time this morning, and found out through the special recorded message from dick clark that the record was a promotional item put out by the soda people to try and get people to drink hot dr. pepper poured over a slice of lemon.

like cold dr. pepper's not gross enough.
