Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'


Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

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.

OMG, on their new album, Alvin and the Chipmunks also cover, The Time Warp, Livin' on a Prayer, and Three Little Birds. My head is about to explode.

ETA: Led Zepplin's Rock'n' Roll is on the album too!

“Not dead yet!”

Oh Jesus. I had only searched under "Don't Stop Believin'" so I totally missed "Livin' on a Prayer."

WHY did I feel compelled to listen?

Art Crawl!!!

Apparently, he did some musical training. He has a MySpace and a Facebook page - perhaps those go more into what music he likes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm with Sumi. Go for it. Maybe find out a few of his favorite songs and have them ready.

(Personally, I would be tempted to ask him earnest questions about time travel. "What does it FEEL like traveling through time and/or space?")

BTW, Robyn Hitchcock did 2 shows in Chicago on Saturday and even though it's this whole IODOT things he apparently changed up the set list.

Is he doing a regular and a late show in the other places he's playing?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Maybe find out a few of his favorite songs and have them ready.

His resume says he likes Hip-Hop, Musical Theatre, Jazz and Swing, so that ain't gonna happen.

There's a good song by 90's shoegazers Swervedriver called "Kill the Superheroes"...

I wrote back to the publicist saying I'd do it. We'll see if he's still available.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Everyone's okay: The Roots were in a fairly horrific van/bus crash in France, no major injuries occurred. ?uestlove emailed OkayPlayer with the details.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

DW was all freaked about that. She has a huge crush on ?uestlove. It's cute.
