I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

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.

22. A song that relates to science See #16. Hey, it has "science" right in the title! Also, the lyrics rhyme "dinosaur" with "molten core" -- that's pretty sciency.

23. A song you sing (or would sing) to your pet and/or child I sing this to LB in the car, except, superstitiously, I refuse to sing the part about being unable to wait until he comes of age. Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) John Lennon

24. A song that haunts you Just listen, and tell me I'm wrong. (My runner-up song here was RT's "The Great Valerio.") St. Monday Drink Me

25. A song that you would sing to yourself if you were ever in a dire situation and needed it to keep going I can't imagine a situation where I would be singing, and not swearing. But how about this: this would be the song on the soundtrack during the hand-to-hand combat scene in the movie of my life. With lots of Matrix slo-mo and running up walls, natch. Battleflag (full version) Lo Fidelity Allstars

26. A song by a band with an awful name I don't really think there's such a thing as an awful band name, save those that are supposed to be disgusting and awful, like for death metal. And since I don't have any death metal (a terrible oversight, I know), let's go with this one, just because the name is fairly unevocative, unless they're taking it as a lyric from "Sounds of Silence," and that's just corny. It's a kickass song, though. Plenty Is Never Enough Tenement Halls

27. A song that even when you know it's time to LEAVE the BAR someone can put on the jukebox to make you stay Again, substitute "roller rink" for bar, and this song has kept me out past my bedtime several evenings. 1 Thing Amerie

And that's that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

And that's that.

Except for the line-break edits, you mean?

:^P

hip deep in pie

I was working in a coffee shop on campus and would play "Doolittle" by the Pixies EVERY SINGLE SHIFT. DH used to time it so he would come in the door when this song started.

So cute!

Jon: :P

I guess I should go back and edit. But you know, reading's too easy for you people. You're too good at it. Need to give yourself a challenge once in a while, know what I'm sayin'?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Just got home from the Fiery Furnaces rocking the muthafucking house at a free show at Red's Scoot Inn. No keyboards in sight and every song rewritten around a Black Sabbath-worthy riff. Eleanor's Patti Smith impression has improved immensely, too. Me = in heaven.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Okay, that sounds actually good. I've had such a hard time liking anything by them that wasn't on the self-titled EP, and the dependence on upwards of twelve keyboards per track was one of my exaggerated gripey reasons for it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

For those of you who haven't been to the Go Home Productions page lately, the Abba & the Bunnymen mashup is pretty awesome, as is the Peach/Strokes/Theme from the Munsters.
