And the Teen Titans and JLU from 2 weeks ago, I hope?
Uh, JLU rolled off the TiVo. But I still have Teen Titans.
I strongly recommend the June Tabor & Oyster Band collaboration
Freedom and Rain
for anybody who likes that kind of music. She covers Richard Thompson, The Pogues, Billy Bragg and Lou Reed on that record. I think her cool, majestic reading of "All Tomorrow's Parties" is the best I've ever heard. (And it's been covered - and well - many times.)

Ooh, duly noted. I do like June Tabor too, just got overwhelmed with the need to say Oyster Band! above.

Ya gotta love a folk group who covers New Order.

Aye, caramba Cindy. That's a special record for 1989 awfulness. Your poor family.
Before the 12 months was up (so from March 12, 1989, to March 12, 1990), a friend of both mine and my mother's died in mum's arms, at work. A young woman--not even 40. I'm probably older now than she was, then. She had a heart defect that had never been detected. Also, my paternal grandfather died on my dad's birthday--the day before my own. Oh, and before that, my then best friend's father/lifelong nextdoor neighbor died on the day before uncle#2 (2nd oldest uncle but third uncle to die) died. I went from his wake to my uncle's.
On the upside, it was uncle#2's wake that finally brought me to my senses about SoulSucking Demon boyfriend. He was planning on coming down to the wake, (he lived near where I went to college but was only about a half hour from my folks' house). He wanted to know what we were going to do besides go to the wake. When I said that I was staying at the wake for the full 7-9 shift, he became (not really the right word, because he always had been, but *I* finally realized it) unreasonable, about "coming all the way down there" if I wasn't even going to go out with him, after. Now, he knew my grandmother--and knew it was the 3rd son she'd buried in 3.5 months (and SSD was 26, not a teenager). He knew my folks, and that this was the third brother my mother had lost in such a short time. He knew my friend's dad had just died, too.
I ended our relationship of almost three years, pretty much the moment he started yelling at me, on the phone. That's the only time I've ever broken up with anyone on the phone, but it was the only way. I got together later with him, to talk in person (a few weeks later). And was so relieved when I saw him, to think the breaking up was already done, that I ... I don't know, it was like a veil had lifted.
Ooh, CD would be even better.
Ouch, Cindy, that sounds horrid.

Which JLU ep was it again? The future one with Batman Beyond? I can set TiVo to go fishing for it.
The Black Canary one.
Right. Okay, I'll get on it.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Happy Anniversary Deena!
In the Pines is a fantastic tape, except some how I lost mine.
