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 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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Do you mean Walter/Wendy Carlos?

Heh, I was just coming in to post the same thing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That is correct!

I'm addled because I wrote a piece on Moog recently and mentioned Wendy Carlos.

Warning: Theremin music is slandered in this profile.

Like convention-bending science fiction authors Samuel Delaney and Norman Spinrad, Robert Moog was a Bronx Science alumnus

Heh, I wonder if it's significant that Kubrick was also a child of the Bronx.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I just watched video of a marching band playing In-a-gadda-da-vida.

So then I needed bleach:

I may be interviewing Robyn Hitchcock by phone this Friday morning. What should I ask him?

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

Ask him what this lyric means:

"If I were man enough I'd come on your stump."

Or not. Wait, didn't Robyn give Pete Buck a cat when Pete was crashing on his floor during the recording of I forget which album? You could ask about the cat....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I may be interviewing Robyn Hitchcock by phone this Friday morning. What should I ask him?

What was the name of the girl in San Francisco who inspired "I'm in Love With a Beautiful Girl"?

What's the American equivalent of Basingstoke?

Why so many songs about bugs and gender dysphoria?
