Gambling -- How about that "Lucky, lucky, lucky, I should be so lucky, I should be so lucky in love" song? I know, that's not helpful, but that's all I've got of the thing, and now it's stuck in my head.
On a totally different topic, I saw the Magnetic Fields at Carnegie Hall the other night, and they sang "Reno Dakota" and dedicated it to their friend Reno Dakota, who they got to say "hi" from the mezzanine. It must be hard to meet new hipsters now if you're him.
Ooh, that's "I Should Be So Lucky" by Kylie Minogue, before she became goddess of the gay disco.
Her latest album, by the way, is really pretty darned great.
I love "Reno Dakota."
Except fuck, it's one hell of an earworm.
Hecubus! WHEN is the Quimby's event?!
Reno Dakota - is that a play on Reno, Nevada? 'Cos that's a great gambling song. I'd go with the Iain Matthews version, or the Fairport Convention.
You know, I have never registered that Reno isn't in Dakota, although that's one of my favourite songs on the album.
Angus, did you get mine yet? I sent it almost a month ago.
Sorry LJ--yes I have received it thanks!
Mmmm, Jessica Harper.
Not only hot, but she can take out a coven of witches while barely breaking a sweat.
I am going to continue to post about the CD exchange status because it is really all hinked up and although I am willing to just step in the middle and do a work around, I don't want to.
I have sent several people emails to determine where we are stuck. If things are not moving by the beginning of next week, I'll start some work arounds and will post about them here.
Getting CDs to Australia is still a big issue. One option at this point might be for everyone on the list to duplicate their CD and send it directly to Angus. Would that work for everyone?
I have the new U2 album. I went (one whole block, but still) out of my way to get it before work.
I have not intentionally bought an album the day it was released since 1997.
This is a pretty freaking great CD. (So far -- I'm on track 5.) Mostly I just can't believe I like, own it and stuff.
