Strega, what do they sound like? Which albums are worth picking up?
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I am awful at describing music. Um. Guitar-heavy not-quite riot-grrl pop. With a fair amount of wit. If you have iTunes and can do the preview thing, they have an album there, "At The Club." That's all I know beyond what I read in Phonogram. Where they are as gods (perhaps literally), so that's why I had to check 'em out.
"In Your Car" and "Come Out 2 Nite" are, AFAIK, their big hits. Right now I am overly fond of "Classy" and "Spies." "Montrose Gimps It Up For Charity" is also amusing since it's a live recording and you can hear the lead singer (and the audience) giggling a lot.
The popishness means that on the first listen, I thought, "Yeah, that's okay" and I'd listen while doing other things, and then at work the next day I'd have one of their songs in my head for hours. Infectious.

"Come Out 2 Nite"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, it's less the show than the fannishness, to be ever-so-slightly-fair.
Oh, I knew that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Hee. (My reaction was "HOLY MOTHERFUCKING FUCK FUCK BANANAS.")
See, I reserve that sort of reaction for news like Firefly somehow managing to be ressurected again.
I think he's an awesome person and actor, but him getting work seems more like something happening as it should, rather than a surprise. If that makes any sense.
ETA: Basically, my reaction is along the lines of "Of course Tim hired him. He's awesome and Tim knows it." Or something.

It's not a surprise, but it's a surprise because the thought had never occurred to me. If that makes any sense.

You should listen to Kenickie!
Their cover of "Save all your kisses for me" was sublime.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Things mostly just an auditioning actor like anybody else. Except he didn't audition for Voodoo Moon or The Crow 4 this year.
Yes. Thing. Somebody sign, already.
Anyway, I'll be glad when they're on a Tim project, because Tim projects don't tend to suck.
One thing I will say - didn't they have a talent deal with Fox for a comedy pilot? I presume that didn't get made? Or has Drive been rebranded a comedy show? I gotta have faith.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Well, I don't have a clue who it is being hinted about, so when Tim makes his big official announcement, I for one will be genuinely surprised. We'll have to wait to see if I'm pleased or not.

It's the man who played the japanase bloke in the Fruity Oaty Bar commercial playing the new lead in Drive, evil jimi. He was at Flan B. (No, really) (About the Flan B thing).
ETA: Also, the topic on Whedonesque about Tim being hawt is lovely.
