I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

- I* want a copy of the book for a possible blurb, dammit! Though the best I could get for you would probably be Blender editor Rob Tannenbaum, and the blurb would likely be "Ow! Stop hitting me with the book, Misha!"
I'm not at all surprised that a Great Pop Things co-author would read this book; there are other people I wrote about who I'm much more squirrelly about "oh my God what would they THINK!?!"
Also, George Pelecanos, whose latest book is aces.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally take credit for Pelecanos being in the book, as Hec had never read him before I sent him a copy of something or other. And I told GP so, too. Of course, then I ran away, but STILL.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Go ridiculous! Choose ridiculous!
Was there any doubt? Now on the player "As the sun pulls away from the shore and our boat sinks slowly in the west, we approach the island of Lulu -- spelled backwards "Ulul". In the distance we hear Spike Jones and his Wacky Wakakians..." followed by Spike & his cohorts chanting, ululating, burping, farting, banging on stuff and doing whatever else they can think of to make funny noises. My people! Singing my song!

Jesse, I knew you were cool, but I continue to find new depths of coolness to be awed by.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Has anyone else gotten hooked lately on bands like Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys, aka the Heirs of the Pogues?

Oh, yes, me. I really love DKM--such a great, funny, rousing band, with FM not far behind. I play 'em all the time.

FM is much more Irish than DKM, but, you know, "Kiss Me, I'm Shitfaced" is one of the most beautiful songs in the world.
