[channonyarrow]

So apparently one of my journals is going to send V-Gifts to theferrett approximately every fucking twelve hours until Livejournal actually gets back into the fucking office and fixes this. I am not happy.So. Valentine's Day

So many of these songs are songs I've been obsessed with recently. Love I Don't Have To Love lives plucking on my heartstrings.

[channonyarrow]

I was most annoyed the one time I saw Bright Eyes that he didn't play that song. But then, usually by the time I get to a concert, at least in the past, the albums/songs I know are very old and no one plays them except Radiohead, and that was a HUGE surprise. But yes, LIDHTL is one of my favourite songs ever.

[apiphile]

I never seem to get to go to gigs at all, so you're still winning.

[channonyarrow]

But! I have paid good money. Money I could have used for smack, or porn, or for buying an island, or lots of other things. Are you suggesting that the fact that I have given money does not make an artist my slave? Clearly you are a communist. *g*

God, if only that was true, I'd need a bigger place, since I would have like ten musicians living here.

[apiphile]

I do like the idea of slave musicians, for some fairly ... obvious ... reasons. I bet Brian Viglione could put up a wicked set of shelves, for one.

[channonyarrow]

Exactly. I can't draw worth a damn, so obviously I need Gerard Way on call for decorating, and the Butcher on call for tattoos (I am in love with his trees).

Honestly, this is a basic need.

[apiphile]

And I frequently find myself in need of Amanda Palmer. You know, just in general. For pep talks and mime. :D

[channonyarrow]

I fully support this need. Do you suppose she would be interested in our commune?

[apiphile]

I'm sure she can be convinced if we lay in sufficient supplies of toy ponies (do you happen to know the whereabouts of that video, btw?).

[channonyarrow]

This is not a video I have heard of. Toy ponies and Amanda Palmer, or just toy ponies, or what?

Either way, a supply can be laid in!

[apiphile]

OMG there is a wicked video of EPIC WARFARE between the Dresden Dolls and Panic on tour which involves them abducting Amanda by means of Ponies!

[channonyarrow]

This one!

I have never seen it before - actually I may have seen a snip because Brendon being put in the case looks familiar, but this is AWESOME. OMG. AWESOME.

[apiphile]

EVERYONE should experience that joy and retardery at least once. :D

[channonyarrow]

I can't decide if it's worse that I actually HAD one of those ponies (the purple and green one he kisses before he sets down) or that I really like Brendon's evil!face, or that this is the most awesome introduction to the Dresden Dolls ever and I don't know why not everyone's seen it twelve billionty times. I have been listening to Backstabber A LOT since yesterday.

[apiphile]

Aww damnit, I wanted those horses when I was a kid. We could never find them at car boot sales, so no dice. POVERTY, GRR.

It is such excellent visual proof that Amanda Palmer is awesome beyond words and needs to be our joint WIFE.

[channonyarrow]

That might possibly have been the first thing I bought with "my own" money, I remember that much, but it might be because I was startled by the price - back when I had no idea how much anything cost. I remember that that purchase was when my dad taught me and my brother about how sales tax worked.

I don't say this often, but seriously? I wish I was HALF as awesome as her. Punk Cabaret indeed. WHY HAVE I GONE SO LONG WITHOUT KNOWING?
