I ended up liking it as much as -- maybe even more than -- Lost in Translation.
Wow, high praise. I really like "Let go", so I may have to buy this cd.

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.

You didn't! You did! I love you! What did you buy, if I'm allowed to ask.
TT #17 & #18 (and I'll get #19 when it comes out) -- the kick-ass, fucked-up Titans Tomorrow storyline.

Sweet! This was the dystopic thing everyone was talking about for awhile, right? Cool.

Yes! You SO need it. It kicks ass. It's so beautifully fucked-up. Total Wish-verse.

Seriously. You rock beyond a rocking thing. I was thinking of you today as I was talking with Am-Chau, about how excited I am that you're the first thing I get to see when I get back to the States. It makes me happy thinking about it.
Okay, this is not the love-on-Steph thread. Though I think there should be a bullshit consensus on forming one.

S'okay -- I gotta go forage for dinner and then be social. All I really want to do is listen to this CD all night. I'm an obsessive little Teppycat.

And I gotta go to bed. It's midnight and tomorrow I have to get up and see Fay. ::tries to hide her slightly smug grin. fails::

It's rather gauche to follow your own post, but look at me, breaking rules.
Either Katie Melua or someone from Pop Idol/The X Factor is on cd:uk right now and absolutely butchering "So This is Christmas." I think I might just want to gouge my eyes out with her pointy boots.
But before This Random Bad Singer, The Darkness were being generally weird and Christmas-y at the same time, which was rather enjoyable.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
In a completely non-Christmassy note (except that I'd like the box set, hint, hint, hint): Tom Lehrer's The Elements, in flash.

David, just got your message and replied. We had no internet connection yesterday.
I really really like the Garden State soundtrack. "New Slang" is one of my favorite songs that I discovered this year. "Let Go" is awesome too, and I've always loved "The Only Living Boy in New York". Good stuff. I didn't love the movie quite as much as most other people I know, though. I liked a lot, but it seems like everyone was comparing it to Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, both of which I thought were superior.
My friend gave me Susan McKeown and Lindsey Horner's Christmassy/Solstice-y/wintry CD, Through the Bitter Frost & Snow, AIFG. I could listen to Susan McKeown sing just about anything, but the songs are excellent too. It's beautifully spare and dark, but also full of hope and grace, like the dawn after the longest night of the year. Highly recommended.
