This Song Is Fucking Gorgeous.

this is the exact live version they used on their 2nd singles collection.
Fascinating for you, I'm sure, but I was very pleased to find it.
and Yeah, it should have been on my squishy timi-tunes.

"The Spice Girls announced Thursday that they have agreed to reunite for 11 concerts around the world in December and January.

They will be the group's first concerts since it broke up in 2001, and the first with all five original members since Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell quit to pursue a solo career in 1998.

The group said shows would be in Los Angeles on Dec. 7, Las Vegas on Dec. 8 , New York on Dec. 11, London on Dec. 15, Cologne on Dec. 20, Madrid on Dec. 23, Beijing on Jan. 10, Hong Kong on Jan. 12, Sydney on Jan. 17, Cape Town on Jan. 20 and Buenos Aires on Jan. 24."

Shall I do LA or Vegas?

I Stole this from my friend Consuelo.

I made a playlist last night and it's very interesting because the song selection very much reflects where my brain is at the moment.

( Click the song titles for a link to youtube )

I Could fall In love With You - Erasure : This is classic looking for love erasure. I cant get enough of this song.

White Flag - Dido: "and I will go down with this ship!" This has been a staple for years as it applies itself to my life time and again. I prefer the huge scumfrog club mix, however.

Don't Go to Sleep Without Me - the Creatures: Siouxsie goes portishead in this depressingly gorgeous ode to dying love. It's breathtaking. "please don't go without me. Don't go and leave me here."

Say Goodnight And Go - Imogen Heap:
an infectious song of infatuation. "Why'd you have to be so cute? it' impossible to ignore you. plsu you make me laugh so much. it's bad enough we get along so well, say goodnight and go."

Martyr - Depeche Mode: Typical angsty "love is pain" lyrics from DM with gorgeous vocals from Dave. "I've been a martyr for love. And I will die in the flames. As I Draw my last breath, as I close in on death, I will call out your name." It's killer. I prefer the paul Van Dyk Vonyce club mix.

The Living Tree - Shirley Bassey: This more of an end of a love affair type song, but I love it. "let me dance, til my shoes cry". and this is brand newish Shirley, not 70's Shirley.

Summer Skin - Death Cab: translates to a brief love affair for me, but the summer vacation lyrics are gorgeous. "I don't recall a single care. Just greenery and humid air. then Labor day came and went and we shed what was left of out summer skin"

Voice Inside My head - Dixie Chicks: Questioning the choices we make. "Every time I'm feeling down, I wonder 'what would it be like with you around'."

I'd Rather Be Burned As A Witch - Eartha Kitt: The "fun" me wants this as my theme song and here it stands as ...hmmm? "let me tell you brother, I'd rather be burned as a witch than never burned at all!"

The Saddest Song I've Got - Annie Lennox: Gorgeous wrist slitter.

Temptation Waits - Garbage : A Tad pshcho-stalker-y but the music is cool and Shirley's voice is wonderful. "there's just too much at stake, I can't afford to wait. I've never needed anybody like this before"

Time Out From the world - Goldfrapp: Gorgeous. that is all.

pass This On - The Knife: this ends up on all my playlists. "I wasn't really looking for some more than some company on the dancefloor and...does he know what I do and you'll pass this on, won't you"

Let Down Your guard - Madonna: seldom heard b-side to "secret". Lyrics are obvious and slightly vulgar. couldn't find a suitable video without naked people in it.

Let Me Kiss You - Morrissey: this is such a me song with my neat little esteem problems. "so close your eyes and think of someone who you physically admire and let me kiss you"


Smile - Olive: "trickle" is one of my all time fave albums and this song is stunning. "there's nothing left, hand me down your legacy, but more regret, painted on with empathy." this video is interesting, showing a girl shrinking away. it's sad but it fits.

I Made My Excuses And Left - Pet Shop Boys: If you've ever been cheated on, this song is for you. not that I have in more than a decade, but whatever. "I felt I should apologize, for what I hadn't heard. a silence fileld the room, awkward as an elephant."

Forever - Siouxsie & the Banshees: Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous from my fave singer of all time. "we couldn't stay together, I knew this wouldn't last forever. Forever just one more time than never. this is the last string to sever. I could stay ...forever. I would last..forever."

What Else Is There? - Royksopp: a recent discovery. featuring karin from the Knife. Amazing. "I don't know what more to ask for - I was given just one reason."

If I did this next week it will be completely different.

That is all.

The wedding was lovely and the pastor was this very cool Lesbian. It was a great time. Had lunch with Kyle and he gave me directions to some cool places. Had my palm read...not such great news about my lovelife, sadly. walked around, got some sun. ate hotdogs in dupont circle.

two of my favorite people have birthdays this week - it's mess's on Wednesday and Tommy's on Thursday. I love ye both! Like cancer! Like it or not.

TanQ is fine, BTW. Was just a case of food poisoning as the labs showed no sign of infection. She's just a hardcore puker. she slept with me all night long without moving. poor thing was tuckered out.

I Love my new shirt.
that is all.

New single from Tracey. Great Tracey Vocal, cute video but No Tracey in the video. Rude.

Thanks Mark.

My friend Andre's Cat Died on friday. Ozzy "Principal" Blackman was only 6 when he died of an allergic reaction to an antibiotic used for killing off kitty stomach infections.

Imagine my horor when my own kitty spent most of the night barfing her guts out. I found her this morning lying in her own puke, looking completely dead. she got up and yelled at me and then went and hid. Shortly she became more animated and normal acting, but we went to the vet when they decided it was most likely some sort of food posioning. they took blood and samples and will call me tomorrow.
when we got home she was running around like the insano she always is and purring purring purring. I hope she'll be fine.


Rest in peace, Ozzy. I'm really sorry, Andre.

my nose is huge.
That is all.

For the A word, one of pet shop boy's worst. but it fits at the moment.

Please don't call me between the hours of midnight and 7am pacific coast time.

this morning I received 4 of these.

Allow me to clarify. don't call me between the hours of midnight and 7am pacific coast time unless you are in terrible danger, need a drunken ride home or need to get to or fro an airport. Or, if you are my neighbour and want to share your cashew chicken salad with me that's cool as well.

however, if your name is Andre I am available 24 hours a day.

Cher "hell On Wheels" . The video cashes In on the roller disco craze of that time. Very badly. It's hilarious. Check the leopard print and electric pink outfit.

I was messing with my settings and all my posts vanished. then they came back but some are still missing.

ooops.

"we are adults, as much as neither of us are on the inside, so we can have these types of conversations."

I ordered water but got this weird blue stuff that tastes like fruit punch but...like, Blue Fruit Punch. It's good, actually. But I wanted water. Meh!

Is Usually the Light Of An Oncoming Train.

did you ever notice that I have the same hair as Reed Richards from the fantastic 4? brown on top and gray on the sides ( except even comic book characters have more hair than me ). some guy in a comic book store told me that a few months ago..."hey - you kinda look like reed richards!". I suppose that's better than looking like Man Thing?

GLORY BOX


ONLY YOU


SOUR TIMES

outside of red robin thursday morning. Lookin' very stupid and posed.

And you best believe this took forever...
