Being one of those crispy-types myself, I found this highly amusing.....
mainly because it's soooo true...
Very sharp on the humour there. Respect!

| "Pastor Dave, I have learned of a new form of music out there that the
| kids are listening to."
|
| "Is it evil?"
|
| "Some of it. Groups such as 'Board of Canada' and 'Venetian Snares'
| regularly use samples of children laughing, and name songs things like,
| 'Befriend a Childkiller'."
|
| "Oh, Lord in Heaven! How did this slip by me?"
|
| "Well, it's largely an experimental, electronic type of music... I don't
| think any of our music-droids are trained in the kind of
| sound-manipulation---"
|
| "More like MIND manipulation! Someone re-hire that Circle of Dust guy!
| Pay him TWICE what 7-11 is paying him!! We must stop this experimental
| electronic music by copying their experimental techniques and get our
| youth groups back to singing about Jesus, not these 'Child-killers'!"
|
| "Well, one big problem is that there aren't really any lyrics in this type
| of music, sir. We don't have a way to spread the Good Word without any
| lyrics..."
|
| "Well, you said that Boards of Child-Killers group had samples of children
| laughing, right?"
|
| "Um.. yes sir..."
|
| "Well, dad-blame it, get some samples of children's testimonials about how
| they found Jesus!!"
|
| "Yes! Good idea, sir! Excellent! We can one of our musicians use
| samples of people praising God, and then put them over experimental
| elements such as 'break beat' and 'vocoder'!"
|
| "I don't know what that stuff is, but let's just make sure that the words
| are easy to hear. We don't want to bury the message in a bunch of
| electronic mush."
