Mal ,'War Stories'
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.
Oh Hecubot! I spent part of last night downloading & assembling your Toil & Trouble playlist, and am now listening to it on the shiny shiny iPod. Very fun!
Huzzah! JZ has finished doing the cover for the NeoGlam mix so I just need to print out the regular Glam and Dark Cabaret covers and I can shoot your package to you. It also has Absinthe flavored chocolate in it.
Isn't the "Zombie King" song fun in a they-owe-Elfman-royalties way? And I deeply love "Sinners."
Fun playlist, Corwood! I'd be happy at that picnic. Then I'd have to go find out who did the music and buttonhole 'em for the rest of the day.
Thanks! I still haven't actually gone, although everyone else in the office has. Li'l Sphere was sick today, so I had to take some time out of work to go get him, and now I have to finish up before going down to the festivities or else take time off my timesheet. Crud.

Eeeeee! I'm all excited. Oh, and speaking of Dark Cabaret, check out this new compilation from Projekt: [link]

Goodness, yes. I have to get a copy to the pet DJ so he can start playing it at goth night.
And I deeply love "Sinners."
Also a winner. Just an all-around good playlist, sir!
Jilli, heh. Projekt's Dark Cabaret playlist looks pretty much like Hec's, only a little shorter.
I had a dream last night which had, as its soundtrack, a Nick Cave song. A new, never heard before Nick Cave song that was hooky and poppy. Never heard before because I'm almost dead certain my subconscious made it up.
Unfortunately, I can't remember the words at all.

Oh, that's funny.

Just gave a quick listen to "This Bird Has Flown" the 40th anniversary Rubber Soul tribute album. Most of the versions I have no use for -- they're too true to the originals to be interesting -- but there are a few exceptions. Most notably, the Fiery Furnaces do a version of Norwegian Wood that would be completely unrecognizable save for the lyrics. They really make the song their own.
Sounds like a Dylan song to these ears.
