The Cheese and the Trains are Good is the name of my Dutch political party. Except in Dutch, obviously.
That’s the name of my Swiss political party! Except in German, French, Italian, Rumantsch, American Sign Language and semaphore, obviously.
My Swiss Political Party is the name of my Eurovision winning songs cover band. It’s an eclectic set, from ‘Waterloo’ in laid-back reggae style to ‘Hard Rock Hallelujah’ arranged for six accordions, four ukuleles and a nine-part choir of lady cats in heat.
Am I the only one who thinks that The World Belongs to You is sung from the point of view of a slightly delusional mega-rich (TV-)preacher? He’s addressing God/Jesus/Younameit, still believing, while he’s about to be swallowed by the mega-richness life-style (cue: limousine).
As for the rest of the album, there are a few songs I enjoy, but IMHO he didn’t use enough monkeys.
Listening to the Artificial Heart cover album in progress by someone on this forum, forgot who (posts were made about it earlier in this thread or another). It’s inspired by the original album, but the songs are performed a LOT differently. I like.
I will give some more new thoughts and insights about the original album/songs soon. Been listening to it a lot on the bus to/from class, though I’ve also been listening to TMBG and other recently released albums.
Apparently the song Artificial Heart is about Scientology. Which never would have occurred to me in a million years. But I like it.
@librarian I had the same thought with the lyric “I look at the walls and they go clear”
Apparently “go clear” is a scientology thing…
You know, there is a lot of Scientology footage on Archive.org.
Just sayin’…..That’s interesting about the ‘clear’ thing. It also turns out – confirmed by Cohen himself – that Famous Blue Raincoat’s “did you ever go clear?” is a Scientology reference. I had always just assumed it was some drug reference.
Regarding the Artificial Heart packages, more t-shirt info:

@jonathancoulton Is there a size chart for the shirts in the packages? Wasn’t sure if it was same as on site, and even then – which company?jonathancoulton Jonathan Coulton
@ @barts185 Working on that. There will be a chance to change/confirm before shipping.
