I, uh, have a thing for murder ballads.
Pssst! Kate loves Nick Cave. Pass it on.
I believe Plei's thing is scheduled for 2pm, west coast time.
That's to call and find out when they've got room for her. I think the actual induction will happen tomorrow.
GC, I heard that song from my mom as well.
Not sure if it was a just her being her or a hazard of her teaching preschool through elementary.
but also songs by Joni Mitchell,
I wonder if it has "The Fiddle and the Drum" on there, and he's completely oblivious to any irony that would be involved.
I knew that one as "Over in the Meadow"
Over in the meadow in the sand in the sun
lived an old mother turtle and her little turtle one
Dig, said the mother
I dig, said the one,
So they dug and were glad in the sand in the sun
Over in the meadow where the tall grass grew
lived an old mother vixen and her little foxes two
Run, said the mother
We run, said the two
So they ran and were glad where the tall grass grew
(And so on, up to ten.)
Dude. I don't know if I really wanted to read "Bush" and "bares" in the same sentence.
More than murder ballads, one of my favorite genres is the 60s dead teenager songs.
Original version of "Last Kiss" is a happy fun song about your girlfriend dying. It makes me happy.
My parents notoriously sang "Breakin' Up is Hard to Do" to me when I was wee. My mom usually refrained when we were waking up, but she definitely is the sing-random-pop-songs-around-the-house type. I will probably be like that too, and I dread the day my theoretical future children notice I can't actually sing.
And I assumed Aimee was singing the U2 song, too.
Debet, do you like that "The mine caved in Nova Scotia and killed a bunch of guys" song? My sister loves that song.
The playlist does reveal a rather narrow range of babyboomer tunes. Writing in the London Times, Caitlin Moran noted: "No black artists, no gay artists, no world music, only one woman, no genre less than 25 years old, and no Beatles."
This sounded like a case of trying to make a story where a story isn't.
Oh, is that Timothy? I've never been able to decide whether there's cannibalism in that song or not.
