This Is Weird

So, this morning I was eating a caffeinated candy bar from the Czech Republic that I received as a gift, and it reminded me of the Pixies' "Debaser".  The bar was called Shock, and I've always misheard the chorus to that song as "Shock! Andalusia!", a mishearing that has persisted even after I learned what the actual lyrics are.  Then, not more than a half hour after finishing the bar, "Debaser" comes on the radio, probably the first time I've heard it in a year or more.

Give Back The Key To My Head

Any fan of The Mighty Boosh will find this image (on one of my new favorite blogs, Crap Jazz Covers) very familiar.  It got me wondering, what are the roots of the "door/window in the forehead" image?  Has anyone done a typological study of doors and/or windows in foreheads?  Is there a long thread about it on some Mighty Boosh message board? 

The original appearance of Rudi in Boosh Series 1 reminded me of that one scene in Cocteau's Blood of a Poet, but where did they get the door?  An old psych album cover?  Or did it just come naturally from some combination of the phrases "open your mind" and "doors of perception"?  Actually, that's probably it.

I Have My Doubts

Um, that thing you got there...I don't think it's the Chupacabra.
