Bad news.
I remember seeing X at the Cleveland Agora in 1982 and they were just so freakin' fantastic. She's one of the most charismatic frontwomen I've ever seen - absolutely mesmerizing.
One of my all-time favorite bands.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Has anyone ever heard a German-language or instrumental cover of "Knock Three Times"?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Question: I'm making a CD for Wallybee. I've done a few for her before, to introduce her to more modern music. We've determined she likes the melodrama in her music (she likes opera, I figure it carries over). This CD, I'm trying to pull together some big drama. It cannot be too over the top - I'm putting on Jessica Simpson's "I Want To Love You Forever", for instance. It can be too heavy, so for instance Evanescence is probably out. (Maybe "All Of Me".) THE STEINMAN will certainly be represented, I think "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" is probably at the upper limit of enthusiastic guitar, while "Bat Out Of Hell", sadly would be too much.
Does anyone have suggestions for some over-the-top melodrama?

Because books.
Try some My Chemical Romance (off Welcome to the Black Parade, especially the song of the same name)? Some Queen?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Rufus Wainwright? The Decemberists?

MCR is likewise too heavy I think. Queen could work, maybe "Who Wants To Live Forever?".

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Ziggy Stardust era Bowie is pretty theatrical. Not quite so modern, but neither is Queen at this point.
