i was supposed to leave 30 minutes ago, but the allure of the internet overpowered me. i think i have a problem.

important things:

louise came last weekend, which is quite possibly the most important thing ever. several valuable life lessons were learned.

after thinking i labelled a cd "jesus stuff - emo" when it actually said "josh's stuff -

paoul is an interesting name; i've only every heard of raoul!

and the 'jesus' top ten' lists are bloody hilarious. please post them!! especially the one of the top ten sinners :)

paoul is actually spelled paúl, but i'm usually too lazy to look up the character code for it. he's half puerto rican / half design snob.

we didn't come up with too many examples for any of the lists. for the sinners, it would have to be people who do really stupid things as opposed to really awful things. they're probably all mentioned here - www.newsoftheweird.com/archive/index.html

there are too many perfectly terrible bands to choose from!! i can't even begin to think of a song order that wouldn't induce nausea in the listener. saves the day, newfound glory, alkaline trio, juliana theory, jimmy eat world, get up kidz, knapsack, sunny day real whatever, braid, omg 1 more... maybe joan of arc?? compound red makes me too nostalgic to include them. JEJUNE. perfect. i don't know why jade tree hasn't hired me yet. the album title would be - EMO DIARIES #88040 million: B IS STILL FOR BETHLEHEM.

Hey, I just bought a Nick Cave CD (actually a 2-disc set: Abattoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus) this week! I heard the song Lyre of Orpheus on the radio and really liked it so I got the album.

louise has that, we listened to it! she said that she still liked "from her to eternity" and "tender prey" better though. and i think she may have been personally offended by the song that goes something like:
"raise up the ante
i put one hand on your heart
and the other down your panties"

i think some of the words are wrong in that, but i remember hearing "ante" and "panties" and thinking, "oh nick cave, you didn't."

but he so did.

Hahahahah!

Yeah, the line is:

"The nightingale sings to you
And raises up the ante
I put one hand on your round ripe heart
And the other down your panties."

I was scandalized by that same lyric! That song is really strange, It's called "Babe, You Turn Me On", but it's all slow and mellow. I think it's either some sort of subversive social commentary, or it's supposed to be tongue in cheek. I think it also reveals the true stalker nature of Nick Cave (read: "I move stealthily from tree to tree/I shadow you for hours/I make like I'm a little deer/Grazing on the flowers"). I'm not really sure. One thing's for sure: Nick Cave definitely stuck his tongue in your mom's cheek (and one hand down her panties)!
