I thought you might be interested in reading this web page: http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/ index.php? showtopic= 792400
Hi,View page Hi, I saw this page on Dirty Ol Scoundrel Label Acts and thought you might like it. Eventually all my the Bands on the Dirty Ol Scoundrel label will be up there. what appeals to me about this is that anybody can come along and edit anything any way they chose, even anonymously. So if you feel like having a little harmless (or malicious) fun, adding information about the Dirty Ol Scoundrel acts, go to it. http://dirtyolscoundrel.wetpaint. com/page/ RxR Cheers, The Nattering Nabob of Negativity

I think the many stylistic shifts and unexpected elements keep it interesting and fun. Of course, the object of the game wasn't really to create unlistenable music, it was to show the absurdity of creating (art or politics or anything else) on the basis of public opinion polls. At least, I think that's the object. Maybe I should conduct a poll and see what other people think....
Honing in on an idea and not letting go of it for at least several minutes (at least) creates music that's much more unlistenable (and unwanted).
I offer up by way of example a couple of different tracks:
The Professor Builds An Escape Machine by Ernest Youngman at:

All of these pieces at this site (http://www.soundcli
are just about unlistenable, but I figure this is about the worst.
I also recommend "Pending Doom" by Pseudojandek at
http://www.soundcli
I'm told it was prepared for a Jandek covers open mic event, and reportedly even hard core Jandek fans got a deer-in-the-
A link to the famous Komar & Melamid track:
"Hiphop tuba plus a soprano rapping about the Old West -- what's not to
like?"

I have to download this. I have a track by them on the "Revolutions Per
Minute (The Art Record)" album. On it they teach a classroom of art students
how to say "F*uck Your Mother" in Russian.

Hey Jef
This is certainly good news on the Ishtar front! It's been a little slow lately, thanks for kicking up some new activity...
My friend Vincent in Paris is a translator, but he does it for a living, I doubt he'd want to spend his free time on it. There are lots of bilingual folks here in Canadaland, I'll see if I can find somebody who'd be interested in working on this....
Man oh man, I'd love to contribute a recording to the tribute album. I'm not famous, or very good, but I could put together a good team of musicians to turn out a good recording. It would be so great to get the complete song from Paul Williams ("That A Lawnmower Could Do All That" for example) to work on. Maybe that's another question for him... can he do that? Or are his hands legally tied?
Hey all Ishtarians... thought we'd bring you up to speed with a few things in Ishtar The Movie.com land:
1 - DVD GIVEAWAY
During this month of May, everyone, regardless of home country, who leaves a message and valid name/email on our new MESSAGE BOARD (found here: http://www.ishtarthemovie.com/ ) will have their name put into a draw for a free UK 'Uncut' DVD copy of Ishtar. The winning name will be picked June 1, 2008 and shipped as soon as the email, name and a shipping address in confirmed.board/index. php
This DVD is a REGION 2 disc, which means it is playable on REGION 2 or NON-REGION players. Now, once you have this disc, most computers can make a backup copy which is perfectly viewable on any player, anywhere.
We're working on the disappearing honor system... please enter your name only once.
We hope to repeat this. Keep posted and spread the word.
2 - TRIBUTE CD
The interest in a fan tribute CD has been GREAT. We are still trying to confirm all legalities through Columbia Pictures and Capitol Records... a very tedious thing. To all who have contacted us, thanks for your patience. We STILL expect to do this and would love to continue having as much support as possible.
3 - PAUL WILLIAMS INTERVIEW PENDING
We've been in touch directly with Mr. Williams and he has consented to answering email questions. If you have a curiosity or two which you'd like to pose to him, we'll gladly forward all relevant and polite queries, crediting you, of course, with your permission. Send them by May 16th and then we'll do the deed.
4 - LOOKING FOR FRENCH TRANSLATORS
And, finally, we're looking for help translating the site into French. Yes, France loves the flick (...not as much as Jerry Lewis...) and the film thru a French site would get even more attention. Any ideas?
5 - And as always, we love hearing from youse guys...
Hope everyone is having a great day... AND THANKS AGAIN!!!

Check out this song: 'Stuck' by WayneNCheeze.
That was the lesson the guy on the radio drew from the death of Albert Hoffman, discoverer of LSD, age 102.
"You really know the lingo" has to be close to the top for me, too.
There's so many... but I think my current is probably "Most guys'd be ashamed, but you've got the guts to just say 'to hell with it'. You say that you'd rather have nothing than settle for less"
And guess what? I saw Shirra Assel here in Paris, too.
Well, her picture, anyway, this poster is up all over the city....

Matt, (sigh) you really know the lingo.
(That, btw, is my favorite line of the entire movie. What's yours?)
