The Fastbacks: Alone in a Furniture Warehouse...10" (1996)

Alone In A Furniture Warehouse Scaring You Away Like A Hotel Mattress  is a 10" EP (and CD) that was released by Spain's Munster Records in the last couple of years of the Fastbacks (more HERE) career. I've only recently begun to appreciate how the band stayed solid right to the end, and this 10"  is fine proof of their perserverance.

Weird Al's "Bob" as 38 Fake Film Titles!

I was once young enough to think that Weird Al Yankovic was going to be a one-hit wonder (thinking back as far as "Eat It"), so apparently I wasn't a prescient youth.  The Weird one has endured, prospered and inspired a wide range of people, like Oliver Smith who used Yankovic's Bob-Dylan-apin' palindrome-fest, "Bob", as a basis to make a short film that pretends to be the beginning of 38 fake films.

In case you missed the even more Dylan-specific original video, here's that too:
