Nov. 1st, 2008 12:13 ama) Happy Halloween! So far, we have successfully avoided the neighbors. :)
b) A little-known dayshift coworker burst out with a perfectly intonated SWC-Style, 'GodDAMMIT!', while I was giving her wing report, this morning - and was all *facepalm* and I LOL'd. I was liEk, 'OMG, you know that show?' and she was liek, 'Yeah! Nobody does!', etc..so I had to go, 'Simmer down, Stew.', etc...and it was just funny and surreal, as my Jerri Blank imitation is just too good. So, now, we've just decided that each other is cool by default, if for that reason only.
c) FUCK, YEAH. THE NEW CURE LP IS GO-O-O-O-D. I listened to it, little by little, using 'a couple new songs' as bait to get through each night at work, this past week..and it struck me, at first - certain songs had just almost a 'Wish'-flavour to them - well, DUH. THE TRIUMPHANT RETURN OF PORL, yo (No offense, Teddy; you are a lovely human being and most talented) - and OMG, 'SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD' is just brilliant, a classic (especially speaking as a night-shifter, kthanx, Rob). Just so much love. I need to lay back and give it a proper listen with headphones, smokeables and a dark comfy bed, a'la teenagerdom, to really say much beyond, 'RELIEF. I LOVE.'
There are definite tinges of, 'Cut' and 'Icing Sugar' and 'From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea' and and...maybe it's me. But that EDGE is still there; that density...those moments of an almost violent grandeur. Gah. And plenty 'o Gallup-flavoured Groove, mind you.
*flails*
It was semi-dark, out in the courtyard, and without my glasses, the title, 'SirenSong' - the font and spacing just TOTALLY looked like, SirenS OMG' to me, at first, and I cackled. Oh, Robert.
