There’s a strange one in the jungle

Years ago, in the Slate days, I made some throwaway reference to the Judy’s and was pretty surprised to get immediate and enthusiastic responses about it. While murketing.com ain’t Slate in terms of online readership, maybe someone out there will want to know that in an interview with Houstonist, Judy’s member Jeff Walton says:

The million dollar question: When will The Judy’s music be available on CD or digitally?

Very soon, we are working on it now. Hopefully within the next couple of months. We will have the CDs available through a website (wastedtalentrecords.com), iTunes, and hopefully through some stores. We also plan on having t-shirts and other things. After that, we are going to do a Washarama anniversary special edition which will be a multi disc set.

Last time I looked into it, buying a vinyl, used copy of Washarama was a $50+ proposition, if you could locate one. So I’m pretty pleased to hear this. You, on the other hand, may not care, probably because you don’t have a memory of getting your nose bloodied by a hurled cup during “Guyana Punch” in about 1986 at Numbers in the Montrose. But cut me some slack, okay? And just wait, Wes Anderson will put “All The Pretty Girls” in a movie at some point, and you’ll get it.

Or not.
