thank you kindly!
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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.

Instant gratification! In time for your anniversary, no less. (Not that you're obliged to share it with Peev.)

Let's just say I'm not the person who grabbed for the Kate Bush DVD.
I love that the Drusilla toy comes with all her dolls. So, so cute!

That one is from Jacqueline. I thought the tiny dolls were the perfect accessory.
Also, if you like the writers in the Edwina Noone Gothic Sampler, I can probably find them at Kayo Books. They had a nice section of vintage Goth Romance from the mid to late sixties.
Oh, and I included the Chelsea Quinn book specifically for the story about the teen ghoul. I thought you'd like that.

I figured somebody would pick him up. Ooh, look and he even got a slam in on the Gipsy Kings:
Until recently the gadje's choices boiled down to melodramatic, multicultural flamenco, the truncated jazz tradition of Django Reinhardt and then, for too long oh Lord, the mawkish "rumba flamenca" of France's answer to Air Supply, the Gipsy Kings.
I've been listening to The Lilac Time's first album recently (just re-released with extra cuts). Any fans? It's sorta Indie 80s brit pop but more acoustic and accomplished (think...Simon and Garfunkel crossed with The Wedding Present).
For those of you who downloaded the Halloween mix, any favorites? Emmett likes: "The Lurch," "I'm A Vampire" (Future Bible Heroes - excellent lyrics, fun to sing along. Even more fun to hear your 10 y.o. son proclaim that he is a "Bitch goddess from beyond the grave.") and "The Vampire Club" by Voltaire.
This last was playing when we parked the car so we sang the chorus together six times in a row on the way to our apartment.

I used to date a girl who loved that Lilac Time album. Haven't heard it since roughly 1992, though.

Mostly Ghostly has been stuck in my head, and I enjoyed the juxtaposition in Ulalume. "The Vampire Club" is brilliant, and makes me hreat Voltaire even more.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yeah, liked the Voltaire. Just adoring "Mr. Ghost Is Going to Town", "Lookout Mountain", "Remains of the Day", "Theme from the Spooky Bunch" and that's just the ones I gave four stars to on first listen. Takes a while to shake out all the favorites, truly.
