Have I mentioned how lately, I think the Violent Femmes are the greatest things ever? And I've been listening to the Best Of, and Freak Magnet, and I want to tell people but c'mon, really. Who goes around converting people to the Violent Femmes?

No, you hadn't mentioned it lately, but I'm glad you did now. The VF are so off-kilter and distinctive, that 20 years later no one has even tried to sound like them because they know they couldn't pull that rabbit out of the hat.

All my friends know how cool they are already, so no conversion necessary. But best of luck with yours!

Oh, and tell Mr.Gano that Grizzly Man is definitely worth a watching.

He's not talking to me right now, but I'll tie that message to a carrier pigeon's foot and send it to his house. Or I would, if there were any carrier pigeons left in the world...

Ha, I wish I could have been there (the drunken sing-along, not "The Exorcism...")! :D

Ooh, well, if you were in the mood for a belly laugh (and not a brilliant song), then yeah, you'd have loved it. It's just a good thing they didn't have Cat Power's "Metal Heart", or things would have turned ugly-somber very quickly.
