Oh man.. I'm all blushy. I splurged and I am sure at some point tomorrow, when I am in the glorious haze of first-day new hairness, I will feel like it was worth it.

I can see why people do this at regular intervals (says the girl who hadn't had so much as a trim in about 6 months).

Now my hair and I are to bed. Yay.

That list is hysterical. I'm so glad they reminded me of the existence of Billy and the Boingers. I totally need to dig out my old Bloom County books.

Nice haircut, Tina!

And agreed about the awesomeness of Parts & Labor's drummer. Bummer.

Bloom County suffers a little bit on re-read I've found because it was so very topical. There were a lot of jokes at the expense of the celebrity du jour or the politico of the day and they aren't as resonant.

I keep forgetting to post these photos:

Dave Vanian and Dave Vanian's 3-wheeled car.

P.S. Bruce Woolley (also in the first two photos) co-wrote "Video Killed the Radio Star"!

I can see that. I seem to recall that was the reason Breathed has let those anthologies go out of print.

Sad I missed tina's fabulous hair.

Happy that I have Tegan & Sara's The Con.

It was very Gloomcookie-esque.

Btw, did you see that I thought that William Gibson's new protagonist in Spook Country reminded me of you?

I still have my copy of Billy and the Boingers Bootleg, and I believe it has both the record and the parody of the Joshua Tree album cover on the back.

In the realm of comics/music crossovers I've got the original ep by David J. for This Vicious Cabaret (V for Vendetta) and the soundtrack by Victor Banana for Clowes' Velvet Hand in an Iron Glove. The Value Ape jingle alone was worth the price.
