RIP David Foster Wallace
If you consider yourself an admirer of literary legerdemain, you owe it to yourself to try reading David Foster Wallace. I say "try" because Wallace isn't the most accessible of writers. His lobster essay is like a lobster dinner hosted by Norman Mailer and Rodney Dangerfield.
Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays
It's a well-accepted proposition that Wallace, a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant recipient, is one of the most brilliant essayists alive. But it's another matter altogether whether his work-at once luminous, provocative, digressive, and frustrating-finds the audience it deserves.
Amazon Price: $10.19 (as of 12/02/2008)
Consider the Lobster: And Other Essays
This audiobook is like no other-not for the fabulous essays or deft narration, but for its inclusion of footnotes. Audio footnotes? It's quite simple. When Wallace reads his plentiful footnotes, which as fans know are anecdotal asides rather than bibliographic references, his voice changes tone. At first, this audio wrinkle sounds odd. But the novelty quickly fades and the parentheticals play as effective and amusing a role as in his print work, perhaps more so since here flow can be better maintained.

A Little Lobster Music
Rock Lobster (Album Version)
Amazon Price: $0.99 (as of 12/02/2008)
The B-52's
Amazon review: The centerpiece is the 6:49 opus "Rock Lobster," which demonstrates the ne plus ultra of wackiness and fun for the quintet. The real surreal line that really caught me: "We were at the beach/Everybody had matching towels." If the B-52's played a party by the ocean, mermaids, fish, crustaceans, cephalopods, lamellibrates of all shapes and sizes would show up to boogie. And love that swirling effect after Fred sings "Down, down." There are too many silly sounds and bizarre lines in this song to mention.

Its been a long time since I've eaten lobster. We need to plan a night out... Cooking it at home is out of the question. We might mess it up! And then I would cry...
Great lens

Okay, I don't like lobster at all, as a matter of fact, I don't like seafood. Maybe it's just that I can't get past something that looks like a giant sea-bug. I do like Rufus Quail though, luckily, he doesn't look like a bug of any kind ; )

OMG, I could live on lobster several times a week -- hubby did a scuba trip to the FL Keys a while back, but only brought back one rock lobster -- pickings were slim. Slobster? That's funny! 5***** for making me hungry for lobster. ;-)
