compared2what, thanks for the Cubism! I had heard a different version of the track by 5 Chinese Brothers, which is (apparently) a later incarnation of The Special Guests. I knew the voice was familiar.

You're very welcome. If you'd asked me this morning, I would have said it was a 5 Chinese Brothers song, too. The only thing I remembered really distinctly was that the video included the Astor Place cube, which I never knew how much I needed until....

...three or four years ago. It was very disorienting not having it there. I felt unsafe whenever I thought of it, and still can't understand why the entire city didn't tip over and slide into the Hudson. Maybe they temporarily filled all the pipes in the Cooper Union building's plumbing system with concrete or something comparably ballast-y.

Happily...

...it wasn't away for very long.

And...um....there has been ceaseless gaiety and rejoicing throughout the land ever since.

The end.
