Today's NYTimes interviewed John Waters about his upcoming Valentine's mix CD. A few more tracks mentioned, including "Jet Boy Jet Girl" which unless I'm totally delusional was an English language version of "Ça Plane Pour Moi" an early new wave hit by Plastic Bertrand. And which (PB, that is) has now showed up in a commercial recently, making it the most obscure song I've ever noticed in an advert.
But I digress.
You can kinda tell Waters has been on the promo cycle for the new CD, as a few repeat anecdotes are showing up in his interviews for different outlets. I'm sure I'd do the same thing if I had to keep talking about the same thing over and over to multiple people. I was pleased to read that he's planning to keep the series running with additional holiday-themed sets going forward. I was weirded out to read that there's going to be a film version of the Broadway musical version of Hairspray (cos that worked out so well with the Producers). Of course, I'll go see it. But it can't be anything but more musical numbers and less John Waters and how can that be a good thing...
