Total Eclipse is Wagner's Ring Cycle without the funny hats; the equivalent of an opera company pelting you with copies of Anne Rice novels.
Ahahahaha!!! That's a perfect description!
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

OMG do you remember the video for it? With Bonnie Tyler as the school marm obsesssed with the teenaged boys with glowing eyes? CREEEEPEEEE
I did a cover of it recently for this 80s night thing. The lyrics are just so, so, so bad.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That is one of my favorite videos ever, ever. It's like early age of video "what cool shit have we ever wanted to film" thrown together with shots of Bonnie Tyler wailing.

It's super craxy crazy. My friend who accompanied me on the song found it in an old collection of videos he'd taped off of the tv many, many years ago.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
The Downward Spiral, the perfect album to crank while you're tossing live hamsters into a blender.
I am in love with this. Too many people overlook appropriate musical accomaniment to the torture and mutilation of small mammals.
Also, I am listening to the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt" right now, AIFG.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
A few S-K highlights:
- Played
- Covered Danzig's
- Played my faves off the new record both nights (
- Loved seeing Carrie lose her shit during Entertain and Jumpers. Corin always loses her shit, which I love, but to see Carrie do it was cool indeed.
- Corin wore jeans! Hehehehehehe
- Now I have to say something nice about Janet, which ain't hard. She beat the shit out of those drums and sang and was just incredible as usual.

# Covered Danzig's Mother. It fucking rocked.
Whoa. Really want this bootleg.

Truly you do. And if you find it, remember your old pal here.

A fellow makes himself conspicuous when he throws soft-boiled eggs at the electric fan.
I am in Boston (with no hope of Free Time, sadly) but I got to run into Newbury Comix tonight and thought fondly of all you people who always talk about the cool stuff they buy there.
I bought two Smiths CDs.

I bought Husker Du's cover of 8 Miles High at Newbury! (Well, okay, the Cambridge one, cuz that's where I did all my shopping. Also bought my George of the Jungle t-shirt there.)
I bought two Smiths CDs.
Which two? I'm guessing Strangeways is one of them.
