the sound of music

The Pixies have definitely been a strange musical experience for me. As a Bob Mould fan, i've heard that i should like the Pixies a fair amount. I eventually decided to give them a shot, picked up Trompe Le Monde, and was bored. Then, at a Toadies show, they closed with "Where Is My Mind?" And that was cool. Then, i picked up David Bowie's Heathen and that had "Cactus" on it. Both were on Surfer Rosa, which Blue Man Group thought was an especially influential album in rock. So i picked it up and it was... not boring. But somehow alien. After that sank into my brain, i picked up Doolittle and, again, that alien feeling. It's like you've heard it before, but it's not quite right, and it takes a couple of listens for your brain to adjust. And now i listen to the Pixies and i hear Sugar, i hear Toadies, i even hear a little Nirvana. And i think it's making sense now.

yet another product of a diseased mind

I wonder if black people with Scottish surnames participate in the various Scottish Games, Festivals, and Gatherings of the Clans around this country.

not ironic, and yet

The guy who played The Kurgan in the Highlander movie did the voice for Rayden in "Mortal Kombat: The Animated Series", which character was played in the Mortal Kombat movie by... Christopher Lambert.

Yes, it's an exciting Saturday afternoon over here...
