So, I went right over to Amazon to listen to snippets of Franz Ferdinand -- fun fun stuff. Must have.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

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.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
I love Franz Ferdinand! I have a live version of "Take Me Out" that just DRIVES.
Also, this ep of TT was The Bomb. Steph, wasn't it completely Jossian? What with the "nemesiseeez" shout out, the whole character of the bad guy, AND the fear itself part? DH and I were in hoots, and LB had to sit on my lap for the scary parts.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Steph, wasn't it completely Jossian? What with the "nemesiseeez" shout out, the whole character of the bad guy, AND the fear itself part?
I totally thought "nemesis...eeez" was ganked from the Jossverse! And the bad guy didn't seem Jossverse-y to me; he seemed like the Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons gone evil.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
What with the "nemesiseeez" shout out, the whole character of the bad guy, AND the fear itself part?
I'd noticed that myself. The whole ep did feel very Jossian. I'll be watching again.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Can anyone give me a good rundown on Elliot Smith? I promise it's work related.

Elliott Smith basics.

Long history of drug and alcohol abuse.

Need more or did you just want this?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It says on the site he's Dallas based and born in Omaha. Is that incorrect?

Up with the sun
The investigation of his death is still officially open, but most people agree it was a suicide.
The coroner's report on SmokingGun.com makes it look like the police think his girlfriend may either have done it or know something about it she isn't saying. But that may be the true crime buff in me talking.

From what I understand he was born in Omaha. I meant that he came out of the Portland music scene and he is usually referred to as a "Portland native."
