Ar 2:08AM on this date forty-five years ago, I entered the world, and there os no one I would rather have perform an ode to my age and the now-dead 45rpm vinyl single than the great Declan Patrick McManus, aka Elvis Costello. So I give you (and myself) "45." Enjoy.

FIRST BIRTHDAY GOODIE
Sing along, dear Vaulties: "Maybe I know that he's been cheatin', maybe I know that he's been untrue..."
This just arrived in the mail and yes, it's an actual autographed photo of Lesley Gore as Pussycat, Catwoman's hench-girl who seduced the Boy Wonder and turned him evil. For me, an early lesson in the power of pussy. Thanks, Norman!

MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 26
Blowfly, blaxploitation and guest appearances from Dolemite and Jim Kelly. If only my real birthday party were like that!
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 25
An unjustly forgotten and totally badassed classic by the all-female Fanny.
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 25
Run-DMC's crowning moment of utter glory. Sing along, dear Vaulties: "Dick in your mouth all day!!!"
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 24
Fuck "The Star Spangled Banner;" this should be our national anthem!
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 22
What's a birthday party without Wendy O. Williams and The Plasmatics?
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 20
The best song ever about a serial rapist. What, you didn't know what it was about? Well, when a song rocks this hard, you can be forgiven for not noticing the lyrics.
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 18
Witness the unintentional invention of "New Wave" over a decade before it actually happened.
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 17
This one has been my theme song more times than I care to admit, but truth must be addressed.
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 16
I dare any white girl to even think of performing this one nowadays. Bravo, Patti!
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 14
Magic" by Pilot. A favorite during my awful formative years, this song will always remind me of the few pleasant moments during a radio era dominated by utter pap and the nascent stirrings of disco.
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 13
This one's for fellow metalheads only. This is the track that immediately turned me into a Mercyful Fate fan and led me to listen to this album around three times a day for the following three months (for real), thus insuring that my soul is damned for all eternity. The live videos I found for this suffer from lousy sound quality, so why argue with the perfection that is the studio version?
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 11
Another song that ruined me for life, this one first encountered on an extremely drunken night during a Manhattan loft party when I was fifteen. I don't speak the language, but I've listened to this so many times over the past three decades that I can sing the entire thing in German. Miss Nina Hagen, I love your Teutonic ass and hope you never, ever change.
MY BIRTHDAY DANCE PARTY-Part 10
A great virtually unknown Blondie tune from "Eat to the Beat" (1979). Why this was never released as a single is beyond my powers of comprehension.
