So. Screamin' Jay Hawkins. "Constipation Blues." Awesome? or not?
I vote "awesome."
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, after putting my manuscript through 2 more drafts in the past week-and-a-half, I sent it to Continuum last night. Not a word from the editor yet, which I find a bit anxiety-inducing.

Thanks! I wasn't able to make it to that event for some reason but I just heard about how someone had blogged about Rachel's friendliness and hospitality. A photo from that night!:

Attention fans of catchy music! (especially catchy lowfi pop/punk)(I almost asscapped that.) I just "discovered" a song by the Bartlebees called "She Loves Monsters." It is catchy as fuck. You can hear it here: [link]
I added the song to my iTunes in Nov of '05 but I don't remember where I got it. It's from the album Urban Folk Legends. Apparently their stuff is a little hard to find? Anyway, I found two more excellent songs from the same album today - "Safety Pin Stuck In My Heart" and "And Then Suddenly." I think I need more by this band.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I was gonna say, Tommy, that song probably came from me.
I love it though. I also put it on my indie pop mix.
I sent it to Continuum last night.
Fuck yeah! ::pumps fist:: Congratulations.

Sometimes he get stuck in all day meetings. Feel free to nudge him and say, "Did you get it? Is it okay?"

I heard this on NPR this morning (but this is from the Billboard newsletter):
Chili Peppers Sue Showtime
Members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers have sued Showtime Networks and others over the new television show called "Californication," the same name used by the band for their Grammy-nominated 1999 album.

Wow. Californication was nominated for a Grammy? (OK, I've never heard the whole album, but I think the song is lame.)
Actually, I was wondering about that. I'd assumed that the network had reached some agreement with the Chili Peppers over the name.

Apparently not. And is it true that the main character's name is also a Red Hot Chili Peppers song title?

Bob Underthebridge?
OK, I have no idea.
