I just had something completely weird and coincidental happen to me and I'm in shock. Part of it I can't speak of but the other part involved picking up a letter written 14 years ago that I haven't looked at in years and the first word I noticed in my vision in this letter was "God" before I'd even read any sentences or other words. This letter was written by one of my favourite musicians a long long long time ago.
Am I okay? Hey, if you're okay, I'm okay.
Damnit let's get on that Fleetwood Mac track from "Tusk" by Christine McVie last track on the album kills me it's called "Never Forget". I could hear that song 50 billion times and never tire of it. Let's go.
Sorry folks. I'll be more coherent tomorrow and catch up with your happenings in a more efficient fashion.
Uh oh, Marky's talking about the G word again
And what kills me so much about that song is that the rest of Fleetwood Mac's "Tusk" is this long, sprawling, mostly very depressing let-down because both of their marriages in the band were crumbling, right, and then at the very long end of it, Christine McVie comes back and manages to pull this very *happy* festive almost wintery Christmas song out of it. GOD.
Certainly their marriages ended up in turmoil, but here is the one happy song out of it by some miracle.
20 years ago I heard a really amazing song by the Waterboys called "December". It was the only good song they ever had, really, but man. I'd like to hear it now. But this means digging through my tapes painstakingly in a giant box. Well, I'll get to it soon.
P.S. Hey Sloth - I've been trying to read Nietzsche's "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" but I keep getting the feeling I'm losing something in the translation. Paragraph after paragraph I feel I'm losing something. So I quit after awhile and decided to seek out the Kaufman translation - I think you were right about him, he is the best way to experience Nietzsche. So I'm just going to quit reading it and go to the library to find the Kaufman translation (which I confirmed in a bookstore is better) to save money if I can. I've spent a lot of money on wine already. But that's another story. Right, what were we talking about? Hey, I've got kate bush to play. Catch yuse (as the Philadelphians say - "yooose" hahahaha) later.

And if you want a soulful, bluesy, gorgeous song that sounds exactly like an anti-Dubya song, I can't recommend Fleetwood Mac's "Bad Loser" enough - "and you're gonna go down/yes, you'll go down/but you'll never ever let it show" (plus ominous guitar) with Christine McVie singing of course, since it's a Christine McVie song. But don't get her latest album from a few years ago, for it isn't quite the same. Go back to the early to mid 70's with Fleetwood Mac, that's where it's at. If you want to hear Christine's stuff from the late 60's with a British blues band called Chicken Shack, you should probably wait until Februrary when a compilation CD comes out, which I will be happy to keep you up to date on.
No one cares about any of this shit of course, but here's a shoutout to Paxacidus in all its forms. God I'm hungry.
Also I decided it's official that the album by the White Stripes this year beats "Elephant". "Get Behind Me Satan" is my second favourite album of this year after Kate Bush.
