Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Emmett's whole face shape seems to have changed in the last year.

Of course, so has Paris's (he now looks like a blond and freckled version of his uncle Paul) so it could be that age.

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

Tommy! How can you say that of the man who gave us "It's All Coming Back To Me Now"? And "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do You That)"!

Hmm. Those songs don't ring a bell. Mostly I hate him for Streets of Fire and that "Total Eclipse of the Heart" song. Plus maybe a few others that I've repressed?

Did he write "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights"? Dumb song, but I do love that one.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Yup. Because if it ain't Steinman, it ain't overwrought melodrama.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm pretty sure Steinman wrote "Paradise...". If it's vastly overdone and full of teenagey angst and melodrama, chances are it's Steinman.

Paradise is the only one of his that I like. Well, okay, I might like Total Eclipse if someone else sang it.

If I only had a brain...

Oh come on, how can you NOT love "Bat out of hell"?

But like a sinner (CHORD!) before (CHORD!) the GATES OF HEAVEN I'll come CRAWLING on BACK! TO! YOOOOOOO!

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Steinman produced "This Corrosion" by the Sisters of Mercy. Which causes me to forgive him for a lot of other things.

Steinman exists to make Andrew Lloyd Webber seem restrained.

Huh. Never knew. And in retrospect, I might have noticed the connection.

Because while it's a killer song, the choral overdubs? A bit overwrought.

But that's part of the charm.

I have trouble reconciling the last two Sisters of Mercy albums with the worst rock song ever written, "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)."

But, since I wasn't ever a goth and not even in the Goth metropolitan area when these albums came out (college years), I'll defer to Madame Jilli, who is far, far wiser than my wannabe self.
