Shun!--no, wait. Nope, that's cool. Carry on.
Trudy tried to get me into one of her other bands for years. Still hasn't taken, and, I think, isn't likely to at this point.
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.

I think Tom might have liked it better without some of our charming neighbors.
A documentary with Jerry Granelli on the music for Charlie Brown's Xmas. [link]
I just happen to be going next weekend to see Granelli and a band perform the music live. It's one of the few bit of Xmas music I like.
The MCR greatest hits album was announced, and Gerard showed the cover art he did for it. [link]
Most of MCR fandom's reaction is "This still hurts, not over the band break up, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US?" I have those reactions, plus a faint hope that there will be one or two unreleased tracks on it.
I went and saw Death Spells open for The Architects. The latter's bassist was sick so Frank played in. On Sparkles. Three feet from our faces, Frank on Mikey's bass. My friends and I got all teary... Too soon, man, too soon...
I'd run into him earlier in the evening selling merch. I wanted to bite him. I wanted to cry. I fought the urge to start demanding "Put my favorite band back together RIGHT NOW" by running the hell away. They laughed when I told them... once they saw Sparkles they went to the same place.

Oh MAN. I would cry.
I'm not sure if anyone can help me. The only things on my Dad's Xmas list are some books and some suggestions for music.
He'd like to get a really good recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and a CD (or CD set or something) of Strauss's Viennese Waltzes.
can anyone point me to some good recordings?
Four Seasons:
Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony: [link]
Joshua Bell and the Academy of St. Martin's in the Fields: [link]
Vienna Philharmonic and Strauss waltzes: [link]
Another set by the Vienna Philharmonic, except the titles are in German, which might be a bit perplexing: [link]
Oh thanks! The titles might be perplexing but it's more about the music.
