Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'


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.

Thanks! Unfortunately, our jokes are funny only to me. On the inside, I am exactly like Pagliacci.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Benny Profane from Pynchon's V

Oooh, I always thought somebody should be a Pynchon cover band. He's got songs all over the place. You'd have to call them The Paranoids, of course.

Ha ha! I sometimes think that too! (That my stuff is only funny to me..not to you.)

It's more curse than blessing.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi

I have the lyrics to Isaiah Two-Four's band's big hit from Vineland permanently stuck in my head: "Fuck you, mister/ Fuck your sister/ Fuck your pop/ Hey! I'm a cop!"

And of course the great lawn-care-service jingle from that same book: "A lawn savant who'll lop a treee-ah / nobody beats Marquis de Sod!"

Man, now I need to take like a month off to reread Mason & Dixon. That's problematic, scheduling-wise.

Takeshi Fumimota and I have both written songs about Myrna Loy. It's meta-meta!

A bit tipsy while posting. Gig went very well. House rocked, friends saying kind friendy things, roof on fire. Wore suit, which was fashionable but sweltering. Lost ability to use pronouns.
