"Brick Shithouse" by Placebo fucking rocks.
(And I recommend Placebo fans check out Kill Hannah. Both glam-influenced with androgynous-voiced lead singers.)
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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.

Jilli will be happy to hear that I bought Placebo's Without You I'm Nothing.
Yaaaaaay!

Hmmm. But what about pretty boys in eyeliner? I mean, I'll still check them out, but there should be pretty boys in eyeliner.
The Cure show last night was wonderful. 3 and a half hours of the Cure, lots and lots of older material. It was fun watching the audience anytime an older song started up; you could see half of them obviously thinking "Huh? This wasn't on Disintegration ..."

Up with the sun
But he has more of a short story writer's sensibility mashed up with antic wordsmithery
His lyrics remind me of Morrissey, in a good way.
The interesting thing about "July, July!" is that it is apparently about some time Colin spent living in a former chicken slaughterhouse in Portland. So it's the chickens' blood that's running down the drain.
And they are my favorite newish band of the past year. I've seen them three tiimes, and it was always fun.
I have been listening to the Future Soundtrack for America compilation, which is amazing.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Damn, those are some pretty boys in eyeliner.
Jilli, my friend (who went with me)'s boss had pretty much the same reaction. Except he thought all the older songs were newer songs and wanted to know why they didn't play any of the "old stuff." We laughed and pointed.

Roky Erickson was at our gig last night. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately), he was there for the first band, and didn't stick around for our show. I got a picture with him, though.

Did you ask him about Pynchon? (apparently a major Roky fanboy)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Did he seem healthy?

I didn't ask him about much, 'cause he seemed very drugged. His brother was there, and we talked for a few minutes about how much Roky loves Buddy Holly.
