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.

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.

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

Wish I got Sundance.

Yeah, I just went to Salon - their ad before letting you in was for the show. I ended up watching about 10 different clips from the show, featuring Bill Clinton, Lou Reed, The Police, Elton John, etc. - both talking and some playing. It was fascinating.

Congratulations, Cor! What'd you write about?

Any Mylene Farmer fans on the board? Holy Shit is her latest disc really REALLY awesome.

Corwood: congratulations!

Elvis Costello's show: turns out it's available On Demand. They've got the Elton John and the Lou Reed episodes up. I've watched the Elton John one (excellent) and can't wait to catch Lou next.

Thanks! I wrote about Arthur Lee in the mid-70s, when he was trying to be a completely different person than the psychedelic pioneer who made Forever Changes.

That's so awesome, Corwood! I'll have to pick it up for sure!

Tonight's our cd release show and, as usual, I'm worried nobody will come! Also I can't find any black fishnets. Why didn't I prepare better?! (I do think we'll rock though...and my boyfriend is seeing us for the first time and I'm excited about that!)

Seriously? I don't think I've heard anything of hers since "Sans contrefaçon"--which was awesome in that 80s gender-bending way.
