Have you ever thought to yourself: Hey, Goth and Girl Groups are two great flavors that go great together?
Then you'd like Black Tears by Miss Derringer. ("Black tears through eyeliner for you...")
That's famed Juxtapoz artist, Elizabeth McGrath, as the lead singer.
See her Beautiful and disturbing work here.
Also, dig the corset and clothes porn of her rockabilly song Better Run Away From Me
Speaking of Gothy things, The Edwardian Ball is this weekend - bigger than ever. It's getting to be quite the signal event.
Um, if you are bandomy and feeling Desolation at waiting for a particular release you should check your inbox.
And if I missed you you should send me a note.
So in my iTunes shopping cart I have "Re: Your Brains", by Jonathan Coulton and "Barbara Ann", by the Beach Boys. Based on the items in my cart, iTunes recommends "Journey: Greatest Hits".
Well, they took the J and the O from Jonathan and the E and the Y from Beach Boys...
Journey goes with everything!
Ok, I just watched Elvis Costello, Kris Kristofferson (one of the songs co-writers), Norah Jones, Roseanne Cash and John Melloncamp do "Me and Bobby McGee" on EC's music chat show on Sundance - Spectacle. Fucking monumentally sublime! I think EC may be gunning for musical sainthood.

Don't stop believin', Scola.

Oooh, I have that on my Tivo right now. Thanks for reminding me.

My pleasure. I have been a big EC fan over the years, but he's been losing me lately due to all his experimenting with various styles. I respect him for the desire to stretch, but (mostly) the results haven't done much for me. However, the stuff he's been doing on this show (both musically, and on a music geekery level) has me squarely back in fanboy territory. Though him being in Colbert's Xmas special also racked up massive points too.
