Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

That's great, Steph. Thanks for posting it.

Just listened to a really interesting Fresh Air interview with Tony Hendra, who played Spinal Tap's manager. I saw him at a wine tasting a couple months ago & thought about saying something to him but I didn't think he needed yet another person coming up to him and going, "Hey, Spinal Tap!" Had I known more about him, especially had I known anything about his knew book, I might have talked to him. Wish I had. Anyway, the interview is highly recommended.

I had a brief moment of confusion reading Jon's post before I remembered that non-NAFDAns may not have seen the finale yet. Especially since I was just talking to erinaceous the other day about how, without spoilers, life is now meaningless.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Unfortunately, I know nothing of the Divine Comedy. Would I like them?

More than toast with honey. Take that how you will.

In other news, Real Life is touring the US - although I can't seem to find where they're going except here to Salt Lake City. Nevertheless, I'm going, and you all should too, if you get a chance. I saw them once before, and they put on a great show.

Oh, yes, and for those who are interested in a trip to Utah, there is a Synthpop Festival over labor day weekend. $25 for 12 or 13 bands over 2 days. How can you go wrong?
