Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

You know, this is silly. If someone could hook me up with buffistarawk, and, dear lord please, some instructions on what to do (I'm a mac user if that makes a difference), I think Juliebird might get the version she is looking for. Profile addy is good.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Insent, Frank.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I educated my cast on the existence of the Scarlett-sings-Tom record. They were... boggled.

Also, this weekend, I got to see Mindless Self Indulgence, and they were made of awesome. Insane awesome.

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

Scarlett-sings-Tom record

I actually like this - I feel dirty.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I actually like this - I feel dirty.

I thought it was an interesting experiment musically. It really focused on Tom's melodies and built a layered pop album around them. A couple songs worked, but not because of her vocals which were supremely characterless and did not really dig into the lyrics.

Holly Cole did an album of Tom Waits songs a few years back and though it was with a fairly standard jazz lineup, she really got the lyrics and did a great job with them.

I guess I should remind people that I put up a ton of Tom Waits covers at Buffistarawk in a variety of styles. So if you're curious about his music but can't get past his voice...check it out.

Oh! Good reminder! I'd forgotten about those being there.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Question! There's an oscillator/generator pop song...does anyone know who the band is? Googling not helping. Need song!

Hec? Help?
