To me they are Hec, but I have one pitiful, Clampettesque handbag I've had since ever which is broken. Everything is fancy next to it.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

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.

Are you ready to be strong?
Flea, I don't have a rock-star lifestyle, and I can't generally afford very expensive things, but it's possible to know the lay of the land anyway.
Do you have to go all the way to a Hermes's Birkin to get a Fancy Bag?
No, there's a lot in between. Your big designer houses: Jacobs, Vuitton, Balenciaga, etc.
Also, check this out, Strega sent me some videos on DVD including a Steve Buscemi short that ran on Bravo in 1992. As the credits roll, I was startled to see that one of the production assistants was none other than...RIO HERNANDEZ!
Haha. I wish that were me. I used to know her in my youth!

I wouldn't pay $249 for a 4GB Nano when the 20GB iPod is only $50 more.
But it's teeny and CUTE!!
Signed, Bought the pink iPod mini for $249 due to its ridiculously cute, shiny pinkness

River by Versus is on my iPod right now. I haven't listened to them much lately and I almost forgot just how fucking much I love that band.
And now it's Step Aside by Sleater-Kinney. The iPod is doing me right tonight.

Is that as good as "Another Girl, Another Planet"?
Hec, from way back: Kate Spade bags are not particularly expensive or "fancy." They are solidly middlebrow in every way.
I think I see them as being really expensive, but not especially flashy. But I only own three purses, and they all came from either Target or the sales table at Hecht's, so what do I know?
My first 10 tracks on iPod shuffle:
1. "Genius," Warren Zevon
2. "Bam Thwok," The Pixies
3. "Goon Squad," Elvis Costello
4. "Get the Wow," Shonen Knife
5. "Sunshine Superman," Jewel
6. "Abattoir Blues," Nick Cave
7. "Wouldn't You Like to Know," Dismemberment Plan
8. "Shine a Light," Rolling Stones
9. "Sunglasses at Night," Corey Hart
10. "The Origin of Love," Jonathan Richman

Yeah, but it's not IIRC a stomp in the way AGAP is; like a lot of their stuff it's moodier and glummer.

In my book, right now(AIFG) Terry Quinn is making out with a woman who likes Dismemberment Plan(whom he calls Dismembered Man) and she swats him playfully. Poor Quinn. Everyone he knows tries to shape his musical tastes, when all the man really knows for sure is that he likes "Darkness on The Edge of Town" and, as of this book, that Proctor and Gamble isn't the same team as Gamble and Huff. I just thought the synchronicity was funny, I guess.(And I'm kind of the thread's Terry Quinn. Except I've not shot anyone. Yet.)

erika, that might be really funny ... except I'm deficient and don't know who Terry Quinn is.
Do you know the greatness that was the Plan? Because I can get all evangelical.

He is one of the PIs in one of Pelecanos' series, LJ. Since the author is a major music wonk who'd probably be more comfortable here than I, though, we always know both the heroes' and villains' grooves...the ones I know always tell me a lot about the characters involved, though, and no, my knowledge of that band is totally confined to "I've seen that recently. I know I have. Where?" ETA: Quinn's taste is sort of middle of the road mostly grew up in the eighties white-guy, except for what his partner Derek tries to tell him about soul. And Prince, whom Derek isn't comfortable with. Androgyny makes Derek nervous.(They spend a lot of time on stakeout talking about that stuff.)
