Hey RIO! How's married life?
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'
'Potential'
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.

Are you ready to be strong?
I could ask you the same question!
But, so far, it's very comfortable, in a super-romantic sort of way.

Same here. But I still can't say the word "wife" without airquotes.

Always Anti-fascist!
Aw, pangs...and not in the "Undo it! Undo it!" sort of way. Except maybe the airquotes.

Haha. I looooove saying "husband." I can't wait till we meet some new people, just so I can say, "and this is my husband, Bob," all straight-faced. Saget had to say, "I'll call you back; I need to check with my wife" to someone the other day and it sent him into a fit of giggles.

Anybody else here heard Pink Martini (from Portland, OR)?
Heard them. Tried to put their CD on hold at the library but they didn't have any of their stuff.
They're very.. out there. My description of them, horribly inaccurate, is "Buena Vista Social Club featuring Django Reinhardt with Yo La Tengo."
I don't know where the Yo La Tengo part comes into the equation.

Congratulations. And a belated congratulations on the marriage. I don't mind husband and wife, although I don't think my wife is wild about them. OTOH, I hate the word partner except in a business or sporting ("this is my tennis partner") context. I even asked DW to take it out of the vows, to which she was amenable. I was delighted that when her friends just got married they went with spouse instead of partner. Don't know if that decision was a comment on the fact that they were two women marrying with full legal recognition (which was mentioned in their opening remarks), but it made me happy anyway.
I like the Search for Bach, but I'll throw out my suggestion anyway. Bufista Music III: It's a Magic Number. Because I am a child of the Seventies & Saturday morning cartoons.
And one of these days I'll actually have time to post about music again.

Awww, look Rio and Boucher and Jon B. sightings. The newlyweds come up for air.

They're part of the whole neoLounge thing, though for reasons which are somewhat beyond my reckoning they've survived the entire collapse of the neoLounge thing. I think their current CD is being peddled at Starbucks.

Their first album came out in 1997, right at the start of the neo-lounge trend. The latest album came out last year, two years after the trend has collapsed and left other bands standing on street corners holding out their martini glasses and saying to passers-by "Spare vermouth?"
In essence, they have zero competition now, so they instantly go to the front of the pack.
