Elizabeth who was at the wedding and has the same camera as me?
Nope, I think that was Cathy the cool puppeteer.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

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.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
I love London Calling - one of my earliest punk memories is Strummer & the Pogues doing it on late-night TV here.
For those who don't know there's a rather brilliant charity in his memory: [link]

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
David, where's your tag from? I know I've seen it before but I can't place it.
Steph, have you had a chance to listen to those CDs I sent you? I'm curious to know what you think of them.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I've listened to the African CD (over and over, actually) -- I just LOVE it!

Oh, yay! I'm so glad you like it.

Huh. Don't know where I've seen it before.

Dear lord, it took six or seven tries before I found a lyrics site that didn't try to install some annoying plug-in or virus.
Anyway, lyrics to "Penpals" by Sloan.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
How happy am I that London Calling has been discussed two days in a row, thus ensuring my earworm? Very happy indeed.
In other music news, I saw an adaptation of Carmen this past weekend. "Adapted" because Don Jose was sung by a baritone, which I quite liked (it was also staged to feel like a drama with singing instead of capital "O" opera). I've not seen much opera, but I have listened to a lot and seen many musicals, and I thought the baritone worked much better in the part. It gave Don Jose an edge that most tenors seem to lack.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Juliana, that production of Carmen sounds way cool. ITA that Don Jose would work better as a baritone.
On a similar note, one of the best operas I ever saw staged was Don Giovanni, w/ Dwayne Croft in the title role. He's a baritone who was misidentified as a tenor in his earlier career. Ergo, you get the deeper and (IMO) sexier baritone voice but one that is produced with the brightness I normally associate with a tenor. Sexy, sexy stuff.

Whoa. And purrrrrrr.... ITA about baritones being sexier. It's the rumble.
The MN Opera is performing Carmen later in the year, and I'm tempted to go see it to compare.
