Charlotte Gainsbourg, AnOther
Vinyl's
like a lady;
ya gotta get the needle
in the groove.
And, move.
A little scratch,
a little hissing -
just keeps things sounding true.
Like they do.
And, ladies
like the vinyl;
play a lady bad,
and she'll take yours from you.
Walk right out the door with all your Muddy Waters! Your Stevie Ray, too. That's how I do. Yeah, that's right. I use 'em all for frisbees. Coasters, maybe. Get some Rick Cave in my cave . . .

You had me at Vinyl's like a lady....this is such a cool write from beginning to your own personal smorzando....ending. :-)
Oh, I needed this laugh for the day!! Yep, scratch and hiss!!!
Wonderful lines in this poem, MZ. Gotta stay in the groove for sure.
love this. The comparison to vinyl is awesome.
back in the day, there were some BAd ladies putting down their tunes on the vinyl
not alone
Oh yes indeed! Loved this!
I like the cool, edgy feel. The last line had me cracking up!
Enjoyed the feistiness of this and the diminishing typescript works really well at the end :)
interesting twist... and wonder how many wouldn't know what those big black CD's are
Liked the tone, could hear the slightly gruff voice coming through - another cool write :-)
HA! frisbees and coasters!

Excellent-not a single moment wasted here. Inspired font size too. [How many times can one say that?]
Hot and cool ... all rolled into one nice vinyl poem! (no matter how small you make that type .. I can see you creeping away .. ready to play)
Ha ha terrific...a poem for my husband me thinks...:)
Tremendous feel here. Love it..... you made me laugh out loud.
Ha. Love this. Your mind is so creative. I love the small print. Ingenious.
Oooh, love the double-entendre' in this. Clever and steamy at the same time. Nicely done!
MZ, no other way to put it--you rock!! This is fantastic :-)
Fantastic write! Love the vinyl made into frisbees!
Edgey and jazzy...LOVE it! Yeah, vinyl is like a lady...hadn't thought of that!
thinly veiled innuendos. lol
Clever. I'll take that to my vinyl resting place...
This was a sweet write, right to the end... :)
Cool!!
Ha. k.
A little scratch and hissing goes a long way to making a special night. Great poem!

Love this one, with the added touch of small print.
nice metaphor/image here. Love the lyrical quality to this piece, really strong "chorus" there at the end. Nicely done MZ. Thanks
