Closed Threads

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.

Up with the sun

Joe, thanks for your response. I think my idea was something that, while more or less true for me, falls apart if I try to turn it into any sort of Grand Statement, as many such things do.

Kate, I'm embarrassed to admit I did not even know Myla Goldberg was a real person. Now I'm going to find out Leslie Anne Levine was one, too. And I don't know if "The Tain:" is actually related to Irish Mythology,sorry. I do know it's twenty. freaking. minutes. long.

I think the only Kate Bush song I know is "Running Up That Hill."

I'm just full of Lack of Knowledge today.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Lyra, Myla Goldberg wrote Bee Season and has a new book out about Prague, I think. I enjoyed Bee Season quite a bit.

Also, your tag makes me giggle every time I read it.

Kate P. = Arty Pop Girl

Hee. What does an Arty Pop Girl wear?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Hee. What does an Arty Pop Girl wear?

Glitter.

Have you seen the movie The Big Picture? What Jennifer Jason Leigh wears in that movie. (A very atypical character for her, incidentally. So don't judge by her usual victimy characters.)

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Also featuring the refrain "funiculi funicula,"

Funiculi, Funicula
Funiculi, Funiculahahaha

That is catchy.

I think the only Kate Bush song I know is "Running Up That Hill."

What about "Don't Give Up," her duet with Peter Gabriel? And the Holy Modal Rounders dedicated "Boobs a Lot" to her. Okay, that's not true. I'm sorry; I was scarred (in a good way) by her SNL appearance when I was just a wee lad.

Have you seen the movie The Big Picture?

Nope. Does it involve glitter? Glitter I can do. Although my daily style is closer to Old Navy Office Drone these days.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Disintigration by The Cure

I . . . . don't own it. I have owned it in the past, but not right now.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Funiculi Funicula

(From "Funiculi, Funicula," written in 1880 to commemorate the opening of the funicular railway up Mt. Vesuvius. I have a trivial mind.)

That's it. I'm revoking your GothCard.

What about if I tell you that I have Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Three Imaginary Boys (the old (I think German) pressing, not the new release), and managed to get ahold of not just Standing On A Beach but ALSO Staring At The Sea?

I just didn't like Disintigration that much. I thought it was too mainstream.
