What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And I have to disagree with the contention that there is only one train song in recorded history that isn't about death, losing your woman, or both -- Steve Earle and Del McCoury's "Texas Eagle" qualifies as well.

Also "The Train Song" by Eddie from Ohio.

if this song were country
it'd be about prisons, pickups, and pain
this ain't no country
it's another folk song, just another folk song
everybody got a folk song about a train

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Isn't that more of a meta-train-song, P-C?

Art Crawl!!!

Is Driver 8 about death or the losing your woman?

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

A little X-Men rant about semi-current events. I saw a recent Uncanny X-Men TPB, and who the hell decided Paige and Warren should be a full-on couple now? I knew there was some love-triangulation with Chamber, but I never found out how that got resolved (though I see the end result, and I'm not effing happy with it). Anyone want to give me the skinny? I know they decided to write Chamber out of the team, and I'm curious as to how that played out. Curious and angry.

Also, I'm on the fourth Sandman TPB, and they're just getting better and better. Anyone else here as obsessed as I'm getting?

Is Driver 8 about death or the losing your woman?

I think there's some death.

Well...technically. The verses are about the train, though. The actual train, as opposed to losing women or death.

Hey. New board.

Anyone else here as obsessed as I'm getting?

Was, once upon a time. SO VERY GOOD.

I think I'm in love with the Endless. As, like, a concept. Though Delirium's kind of early-Winifred-Burkle cute and Death is, well, Death... "Season of Mists" is just jaw-droppingly well-written. I'd be afraid of it peaking here if I didn't know better. Gaiman's got more skill in his pinky than I'll ever have.

Sandman, start to finish, is so good it's frightening. Delerium is sort of inspired by/based on/something 'twixt the two Tori Amos, or so I've heard.

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

At some point during the run--not at the start of it, but after the two had met and become friends--aspects of Ms. Amos were written into the character, and the character's look.
