We’re pretty sure that one of the first times we ever danced with an actual member of the opposite sex, the song that was playing in our middle-school auditorium was the dulcet P.M. Dawn track “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss.” Suffice it to say that we’ve got a soft spot for them, and that spot only gets softer the more we read about the recent activities of Prince Be and recent band addition Dr. Giggles. Lately, P.M. Dawn has been touring what Wikipedia kindly calls “intimate venues” in support of an album to be released later this year, P.M. Dawn Loves You. However, as you can see from this MySpace blog post about a show snafu in Detroit, the love has not always been returned, prompting a heartfelt fan appeal from Dr. Giggles:
I apologize to all who paid for babysitters and went to sleep late, if you’re still THAT ANGRY FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AND CURSE ME OUT PERSONALLY AT 347 XXX-XXXX. JUST BE SO KIND AS TO DO IT AFTER 8PM, SO IT’S FREE !!!! Hate us or love us But Always Maintain The Bliss And remember P.M. Dawn Loves You!!!!
(As a bonus, this post has one of the greatest MySpace comments we’ve ever seen, courtesy of somebody calling himself DJ Joe Merenda of Excellent Entertainment.)
The Truth About Detroit [MySpace blog]
PM Dawn – Set Adrift On Memory Bliss [YouTube]
define “greatest.”
it begins with a sentence of cultural criticism that uses three “air-quote” phrases, then throws out “I got 5 kids, yo.” Just one man’s opinion here, but I think that’s pretty great.
A MySpace apology? Really, PM Dawn — Arrested Development would never stoop to that.
P.M. Dawn at Maxwell’s in August was the strangest show I’ve seen since Brian Jonestown Massacre at the same venue few years ago. And oddly similar, too: both shows were sprawling 2+ hour messes that contained a few stray moments of brilliance.
Dr. Giggles’ crunk-infused XXX ditties don’t exactly fit in alongside the rest of the Dawn’s repertoire, but since Be was slowed down by a stroke last year, he does need someone to press play on the CD player that supplies the backing tracks.
Please tell me Gnarls Barkley has appeared as PM Dawn by now.
damn, i didn’t know Prince Be had a stroke.
i feel kinda guilty now for laughing.
does anyone remember that PM Dawn parody in Fear of a Black Hat?
I’m Just a Human
You are just like me
I’m just a human
I am just like you
I’m just a human
We all stand or sit when we pee
I’m just a human just a human being
When I doo-doo is my shit not brown
it’s a universal thing we all flush it down
And when you wipe do you look at the tissue
most folks do, it ain’t even an issue
Hot stuff makes it burn comin out
I bet everyone knows what I’m talkin about
Cause we are all one race on this planet
we all burp and fart, and that’s the way God planned it
So don’t act like your superior
eat something bad an just like me you’ll get diarrhea
Cause black, white, yellow, red, brown or gold
our shit all comes from the same little hole
You are just like me
I’m just a human
I am just like you
I’m just a human
We all stand or sit when we pee
I’m just a human just a human being
Like most humans in my car I pick my nose
we’ve all mined a rock or two I’d suppose
The nose might be white when you reach to clean
but red, yellow, brown or black the booger’s still green
An sometimes it’s anchored to some snot
that hangs from your nose, and you’re afraid it’s gonna drop
So you catch it in your hand and hope no one realizes
you’ve got mucous on your hand while you’re driving
So you look for a place to try and hide it
you open up your mouth, and there you slide it
But it ain’t really much for you to worry about
cause you won’t be first or last to put a booger in your mouth
You are just like me
I’m just a human
I am just like you
I’m just a human
We all stand or sit when we pee
I’m just a human
Just a human being
Sometimes I smell the lint from my belly button
how could somethin so small make a stench so rotten
At night there’s always jam between my toes
sometimes I pull it out, and that’s the way it goes
When I’m alone I’ll take a leak in the shower
I bet you do it too, it’s only water
I pick sleep from my eyes and wax from my ears
I rub the goo between my fingers and I watch it disappear
It might sound gross to you
but these are the things we all do
So shake hands with your fellow man but first
make sure he’s washed his hands

oh. that’s upsetting. I didn’t know that about Prince Be either. The fan forum says he’s had some health problems. standby…
KRS got a babysitter and went to sleep late just so he could throw Prince Be off the stage (again)
