( continues...) RIVER
This has *been* my last call song. Okay, I take back one thing from number 25--I do know all the words to this song (as I do every word on this album, JC Chasez's album, and all three NSync albums) but this boy is so far out of my range that I have to have the music to sing it, hence number 25. I promise you, for anyone who has any aspirations to go out drinking with me to the point of utter intoxication, if you say "SA, we must leave! We have work/school/war tomorrow!" and Justin Timberlake comes on the jukebox, I will say (stumblingly and drunkenly) "NO! The world waits for Juppy!" and proceed to not only sing every word, but boogie like there's no tomorrow. Conversely, if someone wants to *keep* me at the bar when I'm trying to leave for work/school/war, this will have the same effect. In a certain way, J. Timberlake (or JC Chasez, or NSync) is my kryptonite. While I hope all of you already own this song, I understand the sad truth that some poor souls haven't been converted to the Way of the Jup, but that's okay. "Cry Me a River" is here for you. We'll get you through it. I know that they say/That somethings are better left unsaid/It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it/(Don't act like you don't know it)
SA, the Edith Piaf song is "The Crowd", and the line you quoted goes:
"I see again the city in festival and delight/suffocating beneath the sun and beneath joy."
What a life she had.

If I really really REALLY like My Chemical Romance (Oh, hush. Stop giving me that look.), what other bands would you recommend to me?
I've had "Helena" stuck in my head for a few days now after hearing it on the radio a couple times. They do remind me of other bands (in that before I knew it was them, I couldn't remember who it was by but thought I knew), but I can't think of which. For some reason, The Used is coming to mind, but I haven't heard but one song by them a long time ago and I didn't really like it, so I think they may just be connected temporally.
Also, tina, I noticed you were getting into Ladytron back in...November. I love Ladytron a whole lot. If you're still interested, nearly every track on
604
is great ("Playgirl" was my first and the one that hooked me), and I second Broom's rec of "Seventeen," and I highly highly recommend "Blue Jeans," which is just gorgeous.
Oh, and I figure people in here might care: I bought the Sneaker Pimps'
Becoming X
the other day at Half-Price Books. Curse me for going ten years without "Low Place Like Home."
The 59th Street Bridge Song
This was going to be my song with a great bridge if I got stuck. ;)
Can I have the gmail information for the second buffistarawk account?
It's on its merry way, askye.
Thanks John! I adore Piaf. And sorry Sue for taking your song. :)
