Your heart generates an electromagnetic field that reaches several feet outside of your physical body.

People can feel you.

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone Turned on some music to start my day I lost myself in a familiar song I closed my eyes and I slipped away

One of these things is not like the other…. On the left, you have a 1978 picture disc of Boston’s classic self-titled debut album—a record so ubiquitous in its time that if you grew up listening to rock radio then, you knew every song on it purely from aural osmosis. But that little picture disc next to it…what the hell? I actually had to research that one—it is the last-gasp indie single of mid-90s shock rock/techno act Foreskin 500, covering Boston’s “More Than A Feeling.” I’m always a sucker for a novelty record and it doesn’t get more novelty-ish than this, which is why I picked up for $3 last week. My inner 12-year-old loves a good parody, and on the back is a great send-up of the essay on the back of Boston’s album. Humor where the A side is “More Than A Feeling” and the B side is called “Less Than A Feeling?” I’m there. As you might have already guessed, the look of this disc is the only good part, as the tracks are meh covers that don’t bring anything interesting to the table. It turns out Foreskin 500 was signed to a major label for one album before getting dropped, which figures—bands with names like that are never built to last. Apparently they were sort of a poor man’s My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, if you remember them (and count yourself lucky if you don’t). Still, it’s hard to fault folks for trying to make a living; one member went on to a career directing cartoons for Adult Swim, which makes sense as this record’s visual aspects are the only parts that work.
