Probably the best title for any article...ever.
"Stanley Kubrick, The Trashmen and Robert A. Heinlein: The Unholy Trinity of the Late 20th Century; or, How I Learned To Begin Worrying And Fear The Bird":
I picked up a copy of Battlefield Vietnam at the weekend. Its a game for the PC which takes place in, yeah, ok, you get it.
One of the best things about the game is I can go into battle in a helicopter and I get to pick the music! Pressing '0' gives me a choice of 12 tracks to play, Buffalo Spingfield's 'There's something happening here' or Martha and the Vandelas 'Nowhere to run to' but my favourite, by miles, is The Trashmen with "Surfin' Bird".
It's the one that goes: "A-well, everybody's heard about The Bird, Papa Oom Mow Mow"
Download it. The article is about how that track got recorded by the way. Today is now officially 'Interesting Article Day'
And Kubrick coincidence day it seems....
Not to mention 'Mark has to edit each post 3 times because he can't type, spell or proof-read' day.
