They have the CD at the local Tower Records, but they want $24.99 for it, because it's an import.

WTF is wrong with you people? Hell, if you can't mock the recently auto-accident mangled, well then I ask you, WHO CAN YOU MOCK??? It's not like the guy's gonna get up from the intensive care unit and kick yer ass or anything. Jeez!

And on edit: :thumbsup: Nice one, kegfish!

2. Thanks! The irony is, I'm a huge Marc Almond fan.
I have almost all of his albums, including ones which were only released in England. I used to correspond with the guy who ran his official website.

Glad you got a kick out of my random idiocy.

3. You know, I'm really, really drunk
but shit-ass dammit, hell yeah I got a laugh out of that. I'm abso-fucking-lutely shocked that nobody has popped in to give you a Miss Fucking Manners etiquette lecture and start a flamewar. Come to think of it, not really so much shocked. Disappointed is more the proper term.

So here I go, kicking the thread again. Trying to throw some gas on this potential raging inferno...

5. No, I don't! You got me beat...
I only have the albums, alas. Well, those and a few odd MP3s I picked up when I used to use Napster, like Marc's cover of Madonna's "Like a Prayer," which is friggin' awesome.

6. Check out his version of "Paint it Black" with the London Symph.
Or his cover of Brels' "Jackie".

The thing about Marc Almond, is he's so terrible, he's perfect.

7. I've heard both of those, and agree they are great...
Trevor Horn's production on "Jackie" is excellent.

8. Fuck. I thought this was for real.
I thought maybe they'd done an over-the-top remake of Warm Leatherette.

9. I Loved The Grace Jones Version Of That Song
Warm Leatherette melts,
On your burning flesh,
You can see your reflection,
On the luminescent dash.

Warm Leatherette,
A tear of petrol,
Is in your eye,
The hand brake,
Penetrates your thigh.
