"For technicality's sake, you are bidding on a random SNES cartridge. That's it. For mystery's sake, WHO KNOWS what this beast might be!"

How many bets on it being Mickey Mania?

Derek:

Paris Hilton & Captain Beefheart, a new record by Knights of Infinite Resignation was released this week on the Next Best Records label.

The photograph has been a source of much wonder and speculation, astonishment and disbelief, and not least mirth and dismay. Could Paris Hilton, icon of everything shallow, really appreciate the complexities of Trout Mask Replica? For some fanatics Captain Beefheart's iconic album is at the opposite end of the musical and cultural spectrum from Paris Hilton's world. "Cognitive dissonance" and "cultural juxtaposition" are just two of the less rude comments which have been applied to the image.

Knights of Infinite Resignation have taken this high art/low tart idea and turned it into a song of frustrated love and cultural reconciliation. In a pastiche of Jan & Dean, the lyrics tell of the admiration of an indie-music loving teenage boy for his unattainable schoolmate Paris Hilton. They leave school and go their very different ways, until one night the narrator comes across Paris guest-DJ-ing in a pretentious bar. "You put Trout Mask Replica on, the paparazzi was dismayed, and you've been blowing minds to this day."

Although the singer on this record is no Jan or Dean the songs hook is more than equal to the best of surf music . The chorus line, "Paris Hilton and Captain Beefheart" is so catchy and is used so humourously that once heard it is very hard to shake off. This might just make the record essential listening for more than Captain Beefheart (or Paris Hilton) trivialists.

Also, is it just me or does Paris hilton look like the trout mask on that cover?

I wish I had thought of this when I bought Roswell Files for Game Boy Color (possibly the worst game I've ever played) and they told me I couldn;t return it if I opened the box.

Some idiot out there is gonna be gullible enough to fall for this...
