An appreciation of Tori Amos' album From the Choirgirl Hotel.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I love that album. "Rasberry Swirl" is still one of my favorite songs to dance to.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Going to see the Decemberists tonight for the first time. I have to admit, I came late to them--I like their earlier CDs, but I LOVE their latest, more folk-tinged one. It's always a little odd going to a concert when you are not a diehard fan, but I can't imagine it will be anything but wonderful.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
How were they, Scrappy? My first real date with FAQWife was a Decemberists show, so they've had a special place in my heart.

From an NYT article about song rights:
The provision also permits songwriters to reclaim ownership of qualifying songs. Bob Dylan has already filed to regain some of his compositions, as have other rock, pop and country performers like Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, Loretta Lynn, Kris Kristofferson, Tom Waits and Charlie Daniels, according to records on file at the United States Copyright Office.
Tom Petty, Bryan Adams and Tom Waits are country artists? Really??

Rock and pop, right?

Maybe the "and" should have been an "or"? I'm sure there's a style guide note for that sort of sentence.

Yes, I think it should have been an "or".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cool beans! I'm ready for him to take a new left turn.
