Southerly: Tower Insurance Have Some Bad…, in reply to Yip Yip,
It is not the company trying to weasel their way out of paying you.
Just how delicious *was* that Kool-Aid, anyway?

A. Skillz' irresistible new remix of Marlena Shaw's version of 'California Soul'
I only just got a chance to listen to this. Goodness gracious me. It is... far too short. :)
Elvis Costello
That man knows how to do a cover or two.

the ultimate in bullshit
Precisely. What a bunch of fucking weasels. (Actually, I think that may be rather uncharitable to weasels.) RAGE.

Breaking the Waves kicked my ass so much that I have never been able to bring myself to watch another of von Trier's films (or hear 'Life on Mars' without thinking of poor Emily Watson). I am a wimp. Or someone with a finely tuned instinct for self-preservation.
I am VEDDY VEDDY excited by: Taxi Driver, Metropolis, Nosferatu, and La Dolca Vita, because I am a repertory/restoration whore. I'm also a documentary whore, but so many of them nowadays are shown on DVD at the Sky City Theatre (particularly the music ones) that it rather bums me out - it isn't Film Festivally enough. I'd rather just rent those and watch them at home with more - I mean some - no, I mean ANY - leg room. ( Cave of Forgotten Dreams being the exception here.)

I only heard a bit of it, but the part I heard irritated me. (I am particularly likely to be irritated by the way this issue is discussed, though.)

R Kelly is... an empty vessel
If someone doesn't make a urine-based joke here I will be very disappointed.

he wasn't the first by a long shot
And *that* is where the mind-numbing hotness part comes in. :)

Elvis, was a hero to most
I'm such a dork that whenever I hear that lyric I have a sort of mini-debate in my head: "yes, the broader point about co-opting African-American music is fair, but what you're not mentioning is that Elvis fused black rhythm and blues with white country, and that's why he had such crossover appeal. (Also, he was mind-numblingly hot.)"
