BTW, I'm listening to the new RUSH album right now, aifg! All covers, so we don't have to put up with their deteriorating writing skills. "Summertime Blues" particularly rocks.

'War Stories'
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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
My favorite is still Voltaire's "Dead Girls Like Me."
Great, great song.
Which reminds me . . . . Don't I owe someone a Voltaire CD?
Was it Teppy?
VH1 has made me a happy, happy goth. The VH1 "Classic" channel has bowed to viewer pressure and now has an hour-long segment called "Alternative"; if they were honest, it would be named "Videos from back when the show 120 Minutes was good". Currently, it's airing at 11PM EST on Wednesday and Thursday, then from 11AM-1PM EST on Sundays. So far, they've shown videos by The Cure, The Mission, The Smiths, Sisters of Mercy, Concrete Blonde, and *more* Cure (plus stuff by bands I don't really care about, but don't make me lunge for the remote).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In the Bay Area, the new Cure record is #3 on the charts.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
Hec, did I tell you that I went by your publisher's booth at BEA and asked them about it? I didn't spill that I knew you. (This is known as "creating buzz among the sales force" as in "Yeah, people at BEA were coming up and ASKING ABOUT IT!")

Well done! Sneaky and productive. We like that.

I think it was me, as a matter of fact.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Now playing: "Third Uncle" by Brian Eno. Before that, "Third Uncle" by Bauhaus.
I love the Bauhaus version but I'd never heard the Eno version before. "Third Uncle" is a cool and strange song. It's just the same two chords over and over and over... and yet, it still rocks.
Now playing now: "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" - the Violent Femmes version. I forgot how much I love their version.
Have I mentioned how useful iTunes is, as a means of increasing happiness?

Yeah, I tried threadsucking to find it, but no luck. One Voltaire & stuff CD coming up. Although I could have sworn it was a male who I promised it to, but, oh well.
I'll burn it tonight. Send me your address, pretty please? Profile address is OK.

Gandalfe, don't you already have my address, since I'm the one you send the Music Swap CDs to?

Sorry, it's a weird day.
