Huh. I *just* started sleeping with a hammer on my nightstand. Been living alone for three years and the Unspecified Dread just kind of hit me too.
That's weird.
Bad juju. Perhaps the moon has gone into foo.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Buffista Music II: Wrath of Chaka Khan
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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It's the world situation.
And to be semi-topical (because it's a line from a Sophie Ellis-Bextor song), when you're feeling kind of mixed-up, just remember it's a mixed-up world.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I've been sleeping with my baseball bat next to me, instead of under the bed. And I have NO idea where the Unspecified Dread came from.
Probably more useful than a fanged stuffed bunny sleeping on your head. Sure, he's going to rule the world one day, but not a terribly useful weapon.
Huh. I've been having an attack of Unspecified Dread myself, lately. How odd.

You're not going crazy! You're going sane in a crazy world!

Up with the sun
I got the new N.E.R.D. album last night.
It's interesting, and has a much stronger Beatles/Stevie Wonder vibe than I had expected from hearing "Rock Star" and reading their reviews. I don't dislike it -- the Neptunes are clearly very good at what they do -- but it's much poppier and less angsty than what I normally listen to.
Good workout music, though.
(I also got Mary Lou Lord's Baby Blue, which I like.)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
This is nice. Jan Crocker is a Boston resident who, back in the late 70's / early 80's would videotape bands at clubs. He put together a 60 minute compilation that he screened last new year's eve at First Night. I heard it was good but I missed it. Now he's posted a pair of Cure videos to his web site. This is vintage stuff -- recorded in 1980 at a small club called The Underground during their first US tour.
Warning these files are big! (108 MB and 185MB respectively). I could do with less footage of the new wave girls dancing in FiC, but this is still great stuff!
