'Serenity'
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.
Yeah. My sister loved that song (the original). When she was about two or three, we would play the song for her and she'd climb on top of a chair ("top of the world") and dance and sing along....
eta: And Sheryl Crow's "Solitaire" is good too. The Carpenters really wrote some melancholy songs....

Now I'm wondering what reactions I'd get if I wore that on the train....

Ooooh. Of course, all I'd probably do with it is build a shrine around it. But still! Ziggy Stardust costume!

If that was a weekend date, I might've considered it...
Aww. I was hoping you would find that travel-worthy.
I'm excited! Especially because that is just a 15-minute walk from work for me.

This guy makes weird-ass Theremins out of old electronics, like Geiger-counters and rotary phones....
He also make keyboards, circuit-bent stuff.... [link]
Cool. The wackiest theremin I own is one built into a Scooby Doo lunchbox.
Just got back from The Stooges show.
My first concert ever was Black Sabbath at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Florida. I went with my best friend Alex.
Emmett's first concert ever was The Stooges, and he also went to his first show with Alex.
Emmett's review: "Iggy's amazing! He's almost a senior citizen and he's got more energy than...than...anything on the planet."
It was Iggy's sixtieth birthday. We got special pins, and of course, we sang Happy Birthday to him.
Seeing the show reminded me that in a lot of ways the Stooge were always more of a groove band than a riff band. They've certainly got some immortal riffs, but when they locked into "Funhouse" they just rode that groove like a big porny pony.
