I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Hec, dawg, didn't mean to short your CV...minimize any of your props.

Yeah! Quit minimizing my props.

::checks his propers for shrinkage::

Sorry, Corwood. My post looks kind of puffed up and asshole-ish on review. I'm just crossing my fingers like everybody else.

Always Anti-fascist!

Hey, I don't think I went after your basket, symbolically or otherwise.(There was that dream that time, but I digress.) But I did not think about the other book. My bad...another slow morning.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hey there, Musicarinos!

What is something obscure yet obtainable I could get for a fifteen year old who's room is covered in pictures of Sid, Nancy, and Johnny Rotten for Christmas?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sid and Nancy probably isn't obscure enough, but does s/he have a copy of The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle?

Yo, Trudy, what's your spending range?

Sorry, Corwood. My post looks kind of puffed up and asshole-ish on review. I'm just crossing my fingers like everybody else.

Not at all! I didn't take any of this out of your post. I'm just trying to keep my hopes realistic. With my relative lack of credentials, all I have to offer is my narrative idea and, of course, my personality and charm. Neither of which really come through in my pitch, now that I re-read it (and this assumes that they don't just exist in my head). Oh well.

Um... if something is awesome I have siblings who will go in on it with me so short of putting her up for a week at the Chelsea I don't really have one.

Trudy - can you do a quick scan of their CD collection to see what they've got? I would recommend a P.i.L (Johnny Rotten/Lydon's post-Pistols, L.A.-based band) album. My favorites are Second Edition, Happy? and 9.

But if they are a super huge Johnny Rotten fan, they already have all of those probably.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What about the farewell drugs?!?

(sorry)

I once read an interesting book on the Sex Pistols. I forget what it was called, but it was a popular book back in the '90s.
