A Perhaps Earlier Than Necessary Clue to the New Direction

From an indeterminate date, here's somebody named Toby Goodshank and a photomontage based on "My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died" by the late great Roger Miller (NOT the one from Mission of Burma).



As always, a coveted PowerPop No-Prize will be awarded the first reader who divines the clip's relevance to the theme of tomorrow's Weekend Listomania.

But to paraphrase Groucho Marx in A Night at the Opera, if you get this one you're good.

Hmmm, a real puzzler.

Songs of death?
Those fast worded songs that you have trouble keeping up with?
Gender bending songs?

Someone come up with some better guesses!

I don't know, Steve, but I would like you to check out this picture of Billy Corgan immediately.

Thank you.

You realize that will haunt my waking hours for years to come?

BTW -- the mailman just brought me a review copy of a 2 DVD set of Smashing Pumpkins 2007 tour performances.

What have I done to deserve this?
