"richard is dick extended" 
Shitcatapult 
Vulvaland 
Vulva - From the Cockpit  
Caustic Window's "Cunt"

... I don't know.  Is it me?  Is it because I'm a woman?  Is it 
because I'm prudish (not) ???  or are all these just puerile?

Yes "I am carnal" too - just like the rest of all human beings / 
biological creatures here on this planet, I have a full working set of 
genitals, but - {{shakes head}} I've just been away since the 
beginning of this week with the children on school holidays, lolling 
in hot springs, climbing up mountains, looking at rivers, not 
listening to music at all - and now coming back to download a few 
hundred list mails I'm confronted with a new label called 
"Shitcatapult" which has jarred with me, then the charming Richard 
Is Dick Extended Squarepusher/Richard Thomas collab rears its 
head (oh yes, it's VERY clever), then the other names pop to mind 
(lots more where those come from), and it all just strikes me as a 
bit smutty, y'know.

Is there a point?  Is there any correlation between the titles and the 
music?  Yes, certainly so-called "cock rock" has always abounded 
with things like Wet Willy's "The Wetter The Better" and melifluous 
names like "Bless its Pointed Little Head" have left little doubt 
about which little head was being blessed.

Most amusing list mail I've read in the current slew was the 10 
points of what makes you a trainspotter - yes, I can relate :-)
