If it were up to me, I would have a karaoke room painted in the blackest black, with a rock-band lighting rig, and blacklights, and minimalist black vinyl and chrome accoutrements, and a karaoke machine stuffed full of my best and favourite music. Like Iggy's The Endless Sea, which I have been walking around singing at the top of my lungs for days now.
Iggy Pop - The Endless Sea (3.29 MB mp3: right-click and Save As to download; play using the handy little embedded player below)
The Endless Sea is off New Values, which I wrote about the other day. What a song. Sometimes I even sing the backing vocals as well as Iggy's main part. And what is up with that keyboard part? Not the tweetily-synths (which are super-awesome in their own right), but the comping: it sounds like a Fender Rhodes run through a laptop running some sort of glitchtronica granulation software -- none of which AFAIK was available in 1979 (aside from the Rhodes). And who would ever have thought that baritone saxes doing an "oompah" part in the bridge would be so powerful.
I'll let you know if I ever get my karaoke room built, 'k?

I keep finding graffiti around Newtown that I myself must -- but without any recollection of doing so -- have executed.
That is the only feasible explanation, right? No two people can actually come up with the same ideas at the same time completely independently, can they?
Can they really?
Hmm....
Nope, didn't think so ;)

Well, skeletons are kind of passe now, so hipsters have to move on to different bones.
Also, Coherant bar on K Road (not all that far from the FOTC poster!) has a really decent karaoke room that partially fullfils your fantasy.
I'm waiting for some sort of karaoke that's connected to the interwebs that lets you select from a massive library.
You will see on Saturday that there is a massive selection available. I expect to be serenaded with many many power-ballads!
