"I am writing an ebook."

Are there five sadder words in the English language?

I miss Zarf SO much. Too bad they made some major costuming gaffes during the transgendered plot twist. Come on, why is someone whose character is probably modeled after David Bowie dressed like Blanche Devereaux? They should have taken their styling cues from Jayne County.

I always wondered what happened before and after that clip, what the plot line was. Did they ever do those shooters?

We used to always listen to the Pac Man fever album in my car.

Does anyone have it?  Its got a lot of great video game themed songs.

I really want to hear the centipede song again.

I have it. It's probably not as great as you remember it.
What I gather from reading the comments on Garcia's blog, the cd release was a re-recorded version of the entire LP. Probably lost the master tapes, or threw them away.
He also mentions that in the 20 year gulf between his hit record and starting to write his ebook he recorded music for waffle houses. Coincdentally some dork posted a link to a cd with a track of his on the wfmu blog.
