Ahm Just Sayin'...

It's a Dead Man's Party!

Kalib, Bill and I took a road trip to LA last weekend, and from there went down to San Juan Capistrano to watch Lee Presson perform with Oingo Boingo tribute band "Dead Man's Party". It was quite a show! The band played a solid two hours, then came back for about 20 minutes of encores - and managed to keep it high energy the whole time. I haven't listened to Oingo Boingo in quite some time, and DMP performed some of the oldest stuff, which was a real surprise.

Dr. Presson played an array of "machines", going from keyboards to mallets to... a portable, wireless keyboard that he wore like a guitar! All very cool, and quite a good show. It had been a long time since I last saw LP play electronica of any sort, and we weren't disappointed. If you get the chance, I recommend you take it! And you may just get that chance...

Until I read your post, I thought that was Kalib in the photo!

Lee doesn't look like Kalib!

Hell, Lee doesn't even look like Rydell!

Lee can only ever be mistaken for himself. He stands out.

Nor does he look like the esteemed Mark S. these days... but comparisons have been made (and to good effect) in the past, at various times. And to each of them. Besides, Janna... I don't think you've seen Kalib lately, with a mustache & no goatee...

Let's see... if we could get Kalib and Rydell and Mark Setrakian and I to all run towards each other at a high speed, perhaps we could fuse and end this debate once and for all. At any rate, if would be damned amusing to watch.

Lee has much more hair than Mark. Does Mark still have the sinister beard?

Check out the special features on the Hellboy DVD to see what Mark looks like these days.

The world as we know it would cease to exist.

Okay, so we both wear long coats, we both wear sunglasses on stage, we both have dark hair, 80% of our album collections match, we both have keyboard racks but our mustaches are completely different folks.

Hummm... maybe, I'll just grow the soul patch so when the merger happens we will have just one complete set of facial hair?

p.s. I honor of the Mustache I give you the immoral words of Ron Mael (Sparks) below...

A lady gets a lotta things
She gets a 20 carat ring
She gets the alimony too
She gets to look good in the nude
But there's one place where they've been whipped
Between the nose and upper lip

One hundred hairs make a man

I tried a handlebar design
My Fu Manchu was real fine
My Ronald Colman made 'em blink
My Pancho Villa made 'em think
But when I trimmed 'em real small
My Jewish friends would never call

M-M-M-M-M-M Moustache
M-M-M-M-M-M Moustache
M-M-M-M-M-M Moustache
One hundred hairs make a man

They call me sir, and that ain't bad
Sometimes they think that I'm my Dad
And women flirt and you can bet
They like that tickle that they get
The only time I feel bad
Is when they guess the lunch I've had
