Langford Childs has a nice ring to it. How would she feel about that?
Really must leave... but first will go off on a name tangent. One of the great things about seeing Dr. Strangelove on a big screen is that you can actually read Keenan Wynn's nametag, so that I now know that perhaps my all-time favorite character name is "Col. Bat Guano" ("If that's really your name."), not "Col. Batguano". I know you're delighted I shared that and are dying for more gems from my odd little mind, but I must go to a Canada Day party.
Any opinions on The Killers? I've heard two of their songs and think I might like the whole CD.
Do they do the "somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had..." song? If that's them, I've only heard that song so I can't tell you anything about the CD but I can recommend some Pulp, whom you might also like if you haven't discovered that already.
I have all this Pulp on an mp3 CD someone gave me (like two or three years ago) but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet.
I'm generally not a big Britpop fan (Lord spare me from Oasis), but I do like Pulp.
Sadly, my wife has declared Thelonious, Miles, and Lemmy off-limits for kids' names.
Raymond Douglas Childs has a nice ring to it...

Blur's where it's happening, bay-bee.
I can't get over the "woo hoo!" song. It's soured me on Blur. Also the fact that there's a lyric in that song that sounds like, "I got my head checked / by Erma Bombeck."
I know that's stupid. I should give them another try.

Heh. That's the most anomalous song in their catalogue. And it's purposefully so, because it was their sort of historical response to Nirvana. A way to let go of all their tightly crafted, carefully thought out songs and let one rip with a big, dumb roar. They're very Not!Dumb most of the time.
