I really dig 3 "interlude" tracks that are played in episodes 35 and 36, but for the life of me can't figure out what they are. I've looked on TAL's online episode guide, which sometimes documents episode music, but not for these ones. [more inside]

Please help me remember this movie. I think it was made in the 60's or 70's. The things I remember: It had women that had normal features but later looked really ugly either do to an operation or drugs. There may have been a "mad doctor" involved. It may have been set near "the water". Thanks in advance for helping me remember. I want to watch this movie again no matter how bad it was!

I saw this hilarious music video posted somewhere on myspace that I don't know the name of. Can any of you music buffs possibly identify the band and song for me? It was these two gay guys singing in falsetto. It was in spanish. And they used the word fiesta a lot. I really don't have anything else to go on, but I really need to know who it was. Please help!

I'm searching for a short story from This American Life. It was read at the end of the show and is probably 2 or 3 years old. The story was about a little boy with a superpower of finding lost objects who, at the end of the story, focused the power on himself and discovered that he, too, had strayed from his rightful place.
