Mal ,'War Stories'
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.

Kind of a Halloween party, I take it. I should add that song to my Halloween mix: "Joan Crawford has / risen from the grave!" Truly a scary thought.
Now I want to see a zombie party of old rotting Hollywood stars, each acting diva-pissed when their noses falls off into their dry martinis.
I should add that song to my Halloween mix: "Joan Crawford has / risen from the grave!"
Diana Scarwid, who played Christina Crawford in Mommie Dearest, was Karen Tyler on Wonderfalls. She's aging right nicely.
Hi, everyone. Long time no talk. Work's been crazy. Happy belated engagement wishes to Rio & Bob.
Oh yeah - almost everything on the box is essential listening. Great great stuff. I'm just a little over familiar with it.
I might be too, actually. I looked at the tracklist, and I already have about a quarter of the songs, and know a good chunk of the rest. I love "Just Like Honey," but I think I have the song on three CDs now. Ditto "Radio Free Europe."
I'll probably put it on my Xmas list anyhow.
Mixy news:
msbelle, I'm burning a disc for Angus now, and will take it and the four CDs I have to the post office tomorrow.
I had to make the following changes to the original track list to get it to fit, or because I don't have the original MP3 anymore. (New computer and all.):
1. I swapped "Today the Weather Plays Tricks On Me," from the Monsoon Wedding soundtrack, for "Mon Amur, Mon Ami."
2. Elvis Costello's cover of "Good Year for the Roses," instead of "Take Me to the River."
3. Yo La Tengo's "Autumn Sweater" for RHCP's "Higher Ground."
4. I took off "Black Velvet," because I love it but everyone knows the song anyway, and I was getting a migrane trying to figure out what else I had to swap out to get the CD down to length.
5. "The Weakest Shade of Blue," by the Pernice Bros., in place of "Green Shirt," because I don't need two Costello songs on the mix.
Ooh. "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" was my first Postal Service song. I love it too. And ooh, "July, July!" And I didn't know "Higher Ground" was a cover.
And of course, I have no clue about this "Black Velvet" business.
You need to listen to Stevie Wonder, P-C. A lot. A lot a lot.
Ah, Dismemberment Plan! And that is actually a mix cd formula that I've never seen before. How rare and exciting.
Happy belated engagement wishes to Rio & Bob.
We're not engaged!!!!!! OK?!!!!!! Do you see a ring on this finger, bitch????
RIP John Peel. I've been listening to his show since I was 11. It's no exaggeration to say that british rock music would be unrecognisable without him.
Holy Crap!
