Now, excuse me, but I'm off to wax and twirl my moustache a bit.
Time for Corwood to change his moniker to "Al Sweringen".
Or possibly "Daniel Plainview"
Or "Bill the butcher"
We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

This reminds me that I've always wanted someone to work out the logic of the "One of us tells the truth and one of always lies" conversation from Labyrinth and see if it played up to the point that it didn't (too much natter? But I really want to know!!!!!)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
iTunes has an "Exclusive" live New Pornographers EP Live at SoHo. Their cover of ELO's "Don't Bring Me Down" is supposed to be awesome, but I haven't gotten to it yet....
Huh. 11 songs, 44.6 minutes - and they call it an EP. I remember when 44.6 minutes made something a longish album that just barely fit on one side of a 90 minute cassette....

The New Pornographers' cover of "Don't Bring Me Down" is cool. They explained before the song that they learned it for an appearance on French TV, where they were asked to play a "rock 'n' roll classic." Then the NP guy said, "Not many people in Europe thought it was a rock 'n' roll classic, but it obviously is."
Heh. It is so a classic. Maybe in Europe the category of "rock 'n' roll classic" is more restrictive than in the US?

At least in France, the "roll" in the phrase "rock n' roll classic" would make all the difference. Rock n' roll is 50s-style music and if you know how to "danser le rock" you can swing-style danse.
