			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know why, but this song has been stuck in my head in a way for the past three days that songs haven&#8217;t gotten stuck in a long, long time. If you were watching my lists on LastFM, you&#8217;d think there was something seriously screwed up with me, and there probably is. On the other hand, only like three people have ever looked at my LastFM page, so I&#8217;m not terribly worried about what they think.</p>
<p>Anyway, as one small step above not dialing it in at all, I offer the following mode of dialing it in. So you can get it stuck in your head, too.</p>
<p>This single, short-attention-span video version:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2EKaO3iDqU4&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2EKaO3iDqU4&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>A fan video of the full-length album version with numerous probable copyright violations:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KbC9_opXQ4o&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KbC9_opXQ4o&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Siouxsie was my first real musical infatuation, and her lyrics inspired a lot of my own poetry as a youth. As a percussionist, I always admired Budgie, too, despite secretly wanting to haul his ass off somewhere and beat the shit out of him then run away with Siouxsie. Ah&#8230;.youth&#8230;.</p>
<p>The happily-married commander other politely refuses to call Siouxsie-of-today a &#8220;MILF&#8221;, but&#8230;.gah&#8230;.&#8221;aged well&#8221; doesn&#8217;t quite cover it.</p>
<a href="http://otherwhirled.com/wp-content/uploads/up-siouxsie_lrg.jpg"><img src="http://otherwhirled.com/wp-content/uploads/up-siouxsie_lrg.jpg" alt="the happily-married commander other politely refuses to call Siouxsie a &quot;MILF&quot;, but....gah...." title="up-siouxsie_lrg" width="460" height="387" class="size-full wp-image-2088" /></a>
<p>Njoy.</p>

<p>Congratulations on maundering through another year, Ancient One! We hope you can still find your glasses and fit your ass into your jeans. We&#8217;re right damned proud of you in many otherwhirledly ways.</p>
<p>And&#8230;.uh&#8230;.don&#8217;t tell your husband, but your tongue&#8230;.is missed. It&#8217;s one of the few happy memories Commander Other has of that particular point in his life.</p>
<p>Peace.</p>
