Hi, hey, howdy, konnichiwa, what's up, and how's it hangin' — been a while since I did one of these.
I mean, it's been a while for this place, anyway; I'm still wrapping my head around, you know, the whole "you were gone for like months" thing when I feel like I've never left. Pretty fucked up, right? I feel cheated out of some trauma or whatever. Good times. But seriously, I've heard it's been as rough as it ever is; hope you guys have been hanging in there. I've only been back a month but it feels kind of tense after that spooky monster problem.
[That said, Marty is actually in a great goddamn mood, so he's gonna damn well spread his cheer.]
As payment, I like to formally introduce you to Marty's Power Hour here aboard the Horror Ship Ala Mode. If you've got any Top 100 Songs from the 80's, 90's, or early 2000's, just shoot me a request and I'll see what I got! I can't guarantee anything, but at least you guys can always clean your weird ol' space rooms to the beat of some of the greatest Earth hits ever. Featuring mostly old pop and rap, because those are the single most important genres of all time. No offense, rock, plenty offense to country.
[SHOTS FIRED]
Here's a good ol' classic, from me to you! Don't do drugs, kids, unless her name is Mary Jane.
[HOLLA TRANQUILITY, HERE'S TO ANOTHER MONTH WHERE HOPEFULLY NOTHING ELSE WILL GO WRONG FOR FIVE MINUTES.]

And just for your information, I do know the entire dance routine, thanks.

Who's Mary Jane?
[ the important take away from this post of course ]
voice.
Mary Jane is a sweet smelling, green-haired lass who takes you away to another world.

Alright! [She's even trying to sing the lyrics, oh, Eponine.] Oh, this is wonderful! Is Mary Jane what the chips were made of? The floating ones?
Teach me the dance routine! It is a wonderful song!

You're absolutely right about Mary Jane, that beautiful seductress.
[He flusters a bit, snorting.]
I don't know if I'm a good teacher, but I could show you some.
You'll be the awesome chick learning 21st century dance moves.

Have you got any Jamiroquai? I don't know music genres, really, but my aunt used to loathe him so--
[yes.]

Virtual Insanity! Man, I was about 9 or 10 when that got big.
Only got that track, but I can play it on request if you'd like.

What about genres you haven't heard of?

And what genre might that be? Is it something a hipster would throw my way?

Hi there, my name's Darcy, and let me tell you about a handy app you can easily install on your comms device called spunes. -- It's like space plus iTunes. Get it? It's great, right?
Anyway, the point is that you have music, and I have the means to upload that music to so we can share with the masses. Hook a lady up, will ya?
