I Want My God and I Want My Family! Everything's Ungodly!

I've been sick all week. I've got the strep throat. It has sucked. I missed seeing Spoon last night for this crap. Dammit.

Anyway... since I've been sick I've watched The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (shockingly horrible), Batman Begins (shockingly decent), read Factotum (good, of course) and had the fortune/misfortune to see the show Trading Spouses. Perhaps you've seen the promotions for the show featuring an orca-esque scream machine going on about gargoyles and god named Marguerite. Normally I wouldn't have seen this show but... let's just say I got lucky.


Stereogum was apparently sent a song that a band called Goes Cube wrote sampling some of the beautiful noises Marguerite made during her holy breakdown. All the band really did was put a Casio backbeat on it. The song wrote itself. It seems like the band wants it to be very clear that this song is merely a joke and they play real music which I listened to on Myspace and it was okay.

Point being, link over to Stereogum and listen to the song. Even if you didn't see the show you should find it amusing. Maybe. I think it's funny.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention. At the end of this show the guest mom's get to give a bunch of money to the family they stayed with. They decide who gets how much money and for what. Well, Marguerite, in the middle of her breakdown, ripped up the note that left all the money to her family and refused to accept any of it, ordering all of the non-believer cameramen out of her godly house. She refused to accept the money because she is a "god warrior". Hilariously, the guest mom donated 20 grand or so to Marguerite to get the gastric-bypass surgery she desperately wanted (and needs), but Marguerite ripped up the note and refused the money. Even more hilariously, it said at the end of the show that Marguerite changed her mind off camera and decided that her family would accept the money. Praise Jesus.
