I bought Fluke's Risotto album.  -Excellent- album.  Well worth your
money.  They're just a fucking amazing band.  :)

As for the MPEG...

Hmm...I actually found a place to download the Atom Bomb video a while
back...lemme dig up my bookmarks...
Damn, ain't in there.
Not in my IRC logs...dammit.

Now to see if I can retrace my steps...
Well, this looks like a Vivo video (probably shitty quality):
http://www.internetv.com/vivo/flukeatombombviv.htm

Though it seems to be down now, I remember
ftp://download.videogamespot.com/pub/psx/drvfly/wipeoutx/ having the
entire video in there.
ftp.zdnet.com/vgs/psx/drvfly/wipeoutx/womusvid.mov is an alternate for
that.  I'm not sure it's the MTV version of Atom Bomb... (it's 13
megs).

Now, I just feel like ranting.
WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT YOUR MP3 PLAYLIST IS?!  I search for videos of
songs on altavista...and something like 80% of my hits are some damned
jackass's 'WinAmp Generated Playlist'.  I have absolutely no interest
in seeing someone's 80kb playlist unless they're direct links to his
files.  Most of these playlists -aren't-.  They're no more than
directory listing dumps to text files.  Lists like these screw up real
searches, almost as much as people who make 100k meta tags that have
pages and pages of random words and phrases on them to get hits (I've
seen meta tags exceeding 300k in size).
ARGH!

And, just for the hell of it, the lyrics (as in the song, not in the
liner notes)

Baby's got an atom bomb, a mother fucking atom bomb. twenty two mega
tonne, I ain't ever seen so much fun.
Baby got poison gas, baby got heart attacks, baby got pain on tap.
Baby gimme some of that.
Baby got a nobel prize, given for the perfect crime, baby got an
alibi, baby got 8 more lives, baby got purple hair, baby got a secret
lair, baby got an army there, I ain't ever seen baby scared.
Baby got a satellite, baby got second sight, baby got a master plan, a
foolproof master plan.
Baby got a crystal ball, baby doesn't care at all, baby's having too
much fun.
Baby got an atom bomb.
A mother fucking atom bomb.
Gimme some of that.
Baby got a fleet at sea, she got a submarine called Emergency, she got
a motorcade, she got a monorail, going coast to coast on a campaign
trail.
Playing deck of cards in an armoured car, she got a kung fu star as a
bodyguard, she got a ju-ju charm, she got a magic spell, she got a
genie--all three is working well.
She got a TV show, she got a shopping mall, she got a miracle she
doesn't want at all. she got a monument at a great expense, she got a
head of state and a president.
She got destiny, she got supremacy, she got everything ever from a-z.
She got it all down tight, she got nothing wrong, she got the whole
wide world singing baby's song.
