Phantasmal images

SC lent me the four Bloodhound Gang albums and 1995's "Use Your Fingers" went into the carousel today, while I ground out an illusory profit on the 2006 Xbox poker title "Stacked With Daniel Negreanu". Detectable influences included the Beastie Boys, House Of Pain, De La Soul (mainly the interludes) and, um, Kim Wilde. Fly couplets and overweight beats - is that the parlance of the streets? :-)

Also demanding and getting my attention in the past 24 hours were the live telecasts of the Qantas Wobblies and Newcastle United Jets games, "Fables #11: War And Pieces" (2008) by Willingham/Buckingham/etc., "Doctor Who: Wishing Well" (2007) by Trevor Baxendale, "T/S/J/A: Whatever Happened To Sarah Jane?" on Nickelodeon (plugging the gap in my Series 1 knowledge) and - roll to disbelieve - cooking.
