Listened to Crap for Charity
There is triumph over adversity, there are great feats in the field of human endeavour, and then there is hitting the half-way mark uphill with steadily increasing rain with a back to back triple of Kenny G, Charlene, and Bec Cartwright. [Anthony Georgeff is available as guest speaker and for motivational workshops. His book Visting Paradise, Visting Me will be out next Summer] Missing is in the capture the starting tune of Girls on Film - Wesley Willis and the finishing one of Panama (Panamaha). Sadly no Benny Goodman and no Bop Girl. Had I trained even less, they may have been included.
Big thanks to pledgers who have already coughed up and for the others, a very large thank you in advance. To get to Oxfam:
Oxfam Australia
Oxfam America
Oxfam International
By my sums we should have raised over $200. Wooh!

I'm going to have to charge you for that one (nice dictation tho')
Santos
Ahhhh ya champ. If it would help balance out your sado-altruistic yinyang, I get my Volvo back next weekend, I could drive around town listening to requested crap with the windows down.
8/29/2005 04:22:00 pm
oooh you are a kind soul. which bit did aaaaaaaaaaw aaaaaaaaaw aaaaaaaaaaw aaw aaw - hangin tough!
I thought it would have been great motivation for you with the runnin and stuff.
I'll be pledging soon!
8/29/2005 06:00:00 pm
We'll be donating our massive wads of cash (ahem) shortly.
8/29/2005 07:16:00 pm
Hey anthony: is there any particular appeal you'd like us to donate to? Or just the general fund?
8/29/2005 08:39:00 pm
-Saffy
Hangin' Tough?
I felt like Hangin' meself.
Such a spectacularly lightweight piece of crap.
-Kate
Wads! Massive ones!
Rob
Any fund or the general fund is fine. It's all good. (unless it's for Peruvian buskers)
Cheers all.
8/29/2005 09:03:00 pm
It may just be me (and probably is); but did all the nominated/donated songs make it in?
8/29/2005 11:29:00 pm
LOL! they were my first love, along with Bros and Milli Vanilli.
Great job otherwise Spicey. Was this a race, if so what place did you get?

Hi Stephanie
Yep got through most of the playlist on random for over an hour an 12 minutes with no reapeats. A couple more stops to tie up my shoelaces and I could have gotten them all.
Hope you're not too close to Hurricane Katrina.
Saffy
Deary me - the unholy trinity.
Not sure of my place but I was overtaken by a fiftysomething lady dressed up as a clown at the 5km point.
8/30/2005 10:56:00 am
ooh. okay. but i know a lot of crap music. i may just stick to one band, but it would have to be "windows rolled down, stereo blaring".
it's sort of a toss up between savage garden and the wiggles. (crap that sticks close to home)
8/30/2005 12:17:00 pm
Living on a rather busy intersection as I do, you'd be amazed the crap people quite proudly listen to.
Hot potato hot potato.
8/30/2005 02:31:00 pm
will there be video footage???????????
8/30/2005 05:28:00 pm
Man cruising around on his own in a wagon listening to the Wiggles with a video camera could get me chased out of town by angry villagers.
8/30/2005 05:32:00 pm
Thanks, Anthony, but we're far enough away to get lots of wind and rain, but no serious damage/danger. A couple states above the really bad areas, thank goodness.
And donation has been made!
8/31/2005 02:02:00 am
Speaking of...might lose internet/cable connection soon!
8/31/2005 02:03:00 am
Good you're OK but poor Biloxi.
Goodonya for the donation - the song wasn't all that bad kind of Devo meets "You Shook Me All Night Long" on a bad day.
I should send you some emergency aerogrammes.
8/31/2005 07:11:00 am
I'm glad it didn't cause too much damage.
It's actually one of my favorites...I have to keep running back to the turntable and put the needle back to the beginning...
8/31/2005 01:49:00 pm
Yes it could easily have been much much worse.
If it's a single you could play it at 331/3, it's be longer between changes and it's dound more like Black Sabbath.
8/31/2005 02:07:00 pm
Hi Anthony,
Thanks for being such a good sport about all of this and thanks for doing something for this organization. My donation (more $$ than I was going to donate initially) has been made. I hope you enjoyed the tune. It's one that I like to listen to while biking.
8/31/2005 06:02:00 pm
Hey Reid
Thanks to you for donating. Oxfam do a great job and it's all added up to a handy amount because of everybody. The tune relaxed me nicely for the final stage. Be careful on that bike now.
8/31/2005 10:21:00 pm
Hey, just even thinking about playing Bop Girl deserves the cash. I wouldn't have played it either. Pat Wilson and her ex will be going to hell for that one.
9/01/2005 06:19:00 am
Hey cheers Ampers&. It's a pig of a song. Don't know which one to blame for it. I think they has one of those enabling dysfunctional relationships.
On a separate point
Oh and when I said Katrina could easily have been much much worse, I wasn't implying that it hasn't been a complete disaster.
9/01/2005 07:09:00 am
won't work; I have the full album.
sorry for crap typing...brand-new sleeping kitty in one hand!
9/02/2005 10:58:00 am
Where it said reason for donating, I said 'Anthony listened to Bec Cartwright'. So someone at Oxfam knows what you went through for them. Well done.
9/05/2005 02:12:00 pm
Stephanie
Wow the whole album! I'm impressed - which member is your fave.
Mindy
Bless and thanks. I think even the hardened people of Oxfam may have shed a tear or two.
