Apple and Pepsi are once again giving away free songs on iTunes. One in three wins. I just bought my first two Pepsis for this contest and both were winners. Go me! And thanks to the Probability Gods.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Thank you bicyclops, DXM. Sue, P-C, Robin, Ginger, Victor, Hec (and his mysterious edit), Fred, Lyra, Kate and RIO!!!!!!!1!
I had an exhausting but awesome birthday. I hosted an all afternoon-into-the-early-evening party at Chez Theremin. Over forty people came though, including DX, Ellen and Nutty. FAQ Girl went above and beyond, helping out before, during and after the festivities.
In music news, I'm going to see Colin Meloy of the Decemberists tonight at TT's. He was supposed to play last month, but postposed due to the blizzard. Here's hoping he doesn't have to cancel tonight as well!

Colin is utterly charming as a solo artist.
(Also? HE CAN'T PLAY "THE TAIN" ALONE, which makes the show that much more enjoyable for me. Nothing against the song -- it's probably as good as a 20-minute song cycle based on Irish mythology could possibly be -- but it sucks to go to a show and have a full third of it be ONE song.)

Speaking of, I love the new Decemberists album- I get 'The Mariner's Revenge' stuck in my head out of nowhere for hours at a time.

Heh. I've seen them four times now, and they've only done The Tain once. Which is exactly the right number of times to have seen it performed.
t edit And the new CD is indeed great. No real surprises, but I ain't tired of their shtick yet, so that's OK.

The new album is out already? I thought I heard March.

I've seen them three times, and they did it twice. Which is once too many.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Oh. It is. I just kind of..stumbled on it and had myself a listen.
(So have the people at my music store. I was buying their second one, and the girl at the counter said "OMG, their new one rules!". I just looked at her for a second and then said "Yeah, I know.")

Ah, gotcha.
I think I'll wait, rather than attempting to ... stumble. I need spoilers for everything else in the world, but I can wait until the release date for albums.
