Now I kind of respect her for doing her own thing
How can you respect someone who doesn't know the meaning of "ironic"?
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.

I said I respected her seemingly-generally-independent career path, not that I wanted her to tutor me in AP English.

I look at the list for 1987, and think, "This was not my 1987":
13. Don't Dream It's Over, Crowded House
15. With Or Without You, U2
23. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, U2
60. Sign 'O' The Times, Prince
98. (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right To Party, Beastie Boys
There are a couple of artists on the list that I like but the enjoyment of the songs was killed by their ubiguity. (Luka, by Suzanne Vega)

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
God, 'ruined, quiet dignity' is a stunning description of Bubs.
This just needed to be said twice.
Three times. I believe I'm going to use it (giving credit where credit's due, natch) at the earliest opportunity.
And Jim, I hear you on the unevenness of that episode, although the moment where Wallace gets it knocked my teeth out. I think Pelacanos integrated his style with the show better in Season Two, when he was less about his cred and more about the story and characters.
Also, I believe Alanis would consider it ironic that people on this thread don't like her music. She would also consider it ironic that some do.

That was ubiquitous? It was, like, my first favorite song that wasn't everyone else in my class's favorite song as well, so I shall always look upon it with fondness.
Oddly, I do sometimes change the station for "I Still Haven't Found...". I just can't deal with Bono in prophet mode some days.

Always Anti-fascist!
Not to worry, Corwood...nobody needs to cite the crap that I say, I probably stole it anyway. Just a little caper, you know.(Flattered that you want to, though.) And I'm insufficiently "crimped up" compared to the regulars of this thread, but don't front that my shit ain't tight, bitch!

I haven't rewatched since the episode aired so I don't really remember the even/unevenness of the ep. What did stick with me though is that I watched it with my best friend who is an ER doc in inner city B'more and she was absolutely devasted by Wallace's death. She said, "these are the kids I treat every day." It rang very painfully real for her.

Aw, poor Wallace. But the day Bubbles dies...I might lose my shit. (Best not post that too loud. Simon's discovered the internets. And fandom craxy...the one beat he wasn't prepared for. That was funny and sad. A real...Simon moment.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Don't Dream It's Over, Crowded House
One of my favorite songs ever. No one does longing like Neil Finn.

Ann, that's a ferret.
One of my favorite songs ever. No one does longing like Neil Finn.
And the follow-up single, "Something So Strong," was just as great a song in a completely different direction.
