Dude. I don't know if I really wanted to read "Bush" and "bares" in the same sentence.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

Up with the sun
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Oh, is that Timothy? I've never been able to decide whether there's cannibalism in that song or not.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I totally intend to sing this song to any potential Zmayhem spawn. It actually has a very jolly, rollicking tune and you can do different voices for the different characters and such. We sing it often at Faire, usually while dandling babies on our knees; parents draw back in horror, but little children giggle and clap. They love stories about sad babies and wicked mommies who are horribly punished for their wickedness.

That's to call and find out when they've got room for her. I think the actual induction will happen tomorrow.
It's a multi-stage process that in theory starts tonight (assuming they're not overbooked), with the main show starting in the morning.
Honestly, the work server thing makes me sad, because I could be sitting here earning money instead of nattering. On the other hand, I'm not feeling especially motivated to work, so not having to do so is nice.

I prefer the iPod One playlist from whitehouse.org
