Btw, Jilli, did you ever get you Wicked poster?
Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle.

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.

No. I managed to get the cast recording, but no poster or coffee mug. I keep blowing my spending money on cds, concert tickets for postponed concerts, and clothes.

Somebody should buy that for you? Don't they know that you want it? I think we can all agree the world is a better place when Jilli's material needs are satisfied in advance.
Of course, if I were insanely wealthy one of the first things I'd do is set you up to run your own real life Goblin Market, so I'm not objective on the matter.

Hee! Well, I certainly won't argue.

I ought to buy some, huh?
In what neighborhood in Seattle would you put Goblin Market? Would you stock the taxidermied mice? What else would be on the shelves? Describe the cases to me.

It would be located in Capitol Hill, which is the 'queer' neighborhood, and where most of the nightclubs, vintage boutiques, and good cafes are. Of course I'd stock the taxidermied mice! I'd also stock vintage clothes and shoes, a range of exclusive-to-the-shop goth basics that are (for whatever reason) impossible to find (black lace dresses, black velvet leggings, nice men's shirts in jewel tones, and so on), and hats. There would be a small section for used books (mostly books on fashion history, costuming, and good horror novels), and a selection of really good chocolate.
The shelves would be black wrought iron in a stylized swirly Tim Burton style, and bookshelves would be coffin-shaped.

Btw, Marianne Faithful (getting much play in this thread lately. Does everybody already own Strange Weather? You should.) is not only in Black Rider ....she's the devil.

Jilli - you do know there's a new Rasputina 2 cd disc out, right?
That's my experience with Ribot - as a sideman, frequently great, as a frontman, sometimes interesting, but frequently unlistenable.
Never saw him as a solo artist, but he was AWSOME live with Waits and with the Lizards.

I just made it to the post office in time to pick up the CDs.
Jon - I love tracks 10 and 17 (PWF and Jon Langford's Ship & Pilot) on your mix madly so far (Tracks 1 and 12 - GBV and Belle & Sebastian - were already favorites of mine). Track 14 is maybe one of the most frightening things I have ever heard come out of my stereo.
Haven't gotten to Teenster yet.
