It's Danny Elfman's birthday. So of course, I'm listening to Alice Cooper. *duh*
…just thought I'd share that with you
---
actually, what happened was I told media player to play "All Music" instead of the Boingo autoplaylist. And the first thing it played was a song from Sleepy Hollow. So I yelled at it. "what the hell's wrong with you? I told you to play something else!" then I did some quick math (17/104) and figured that Danny Elfman accounts for about 16% of everything I have.
So then it started playing Caught in a Dream and I said "WAIT! I have that *real* cd" and then I ran upstairs and got it.
Actually it's mom's cd. But I stole it because it's the coolest thing she's got. And she likes to tell me the story of why she has it. Because she was accidentally sent the wrong records when she ordered some from a club. So she listened to it, liked it, etc.
Which is why I like to randomly chose cassette tapes from the thrift store. 'Cuz they're like $0.25 and maybe they're good. Course I don't have a tape player anymore…

xx Alice has too much bass to be played that loud when your house is attached to your neighbor's. But it's cut-the-grass day so it's fucking loud outside anyways. They can all bite me. (It's Thursday anyways)

I'd also like to point out that in my whole life I've only ever heard 2 people use the word "juju" (aside from when they are talking about candy). One of them is Alice Cooper who has a song called "Black Juju" and the other is Danny Elfman (who said it as often as Tim Burton says "surreal") in that freaky-ass Savage Tattoo interview.
He (danny) also said it in a song that I listened to yesterday. I don’t recall which it was, something I've only listened to once or twice. Perhaps it was Mary.

I'm redoing my boingo cd-rws. Since I have more music now.
I had to cut the beginning of Insects off and the last 3 seconds of a few other songs to get all of disc 3 to fit. It was like 20 seconds too long. Bastard. So I crammed it all on there anyway. haha! I'm the boss of notmarty.
Disc 1- Forbidden Zone/Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo - 23 songs, 55 minutes
Disc 2- Oingo Boingo EP, Miscellaneous Boingo - 22, 69
Disc 3- Only a Lad/Nothing to Fear - 20, 80
Disc 4- Good for Your Soul/So Lo - 17, 69
Disc 5- Dead Man's Party/Boi-ngo - 16, 74
Disc 6- Dark at the End of the Tunnel/Boingo Alive - 18, 78
Disc 7- Boingo/Farewell 1 - 14, 73
Disc 8- Farewell 2 - 14, 71
Total - 144 songs, 9 hours and 27 minutes, 569 MB
Mark said he had something like 220 MB (plus 2 cds - Best O' Boingo and Skeletons in the Closet) but I couldn't compare because I didn't know the MB. All I knew was that I had 16 hours+ including filmmusic and the 2 cds I have - Batman and Nightmare Before Christmas.
And I have 423 MB of non-boingo stuff. 290 of which came off of a cd (my 2 plus nikki's Red Dragon)

random thoughts and lyrics from noon o'clock till 3:19 pm, in alphabetical order
~And all the vammmpires walking through the valley move west
~Crap, I forgot that I didn't want to burn Did It There. Because it sucks balls.
~Hey, if I was smart, I'd put the record on instead of Love It to Death since records can only be played in the living room.
~hi cat.
~I am iron man
~I can't find anything worth eating. I keep looking in the fridge as if something will magically appear.
~I could see the 1931 Dracula again. I could own it, if I had money.
~I never did write about the Kendall kids. But Kendall emailed me so I supposed I could stick that in here instead (later).
~I pulled all the lonely black socks out of my drawer and found that 11 of them were bras or underwear. With the leftovers I made 19 pairs and one 6-legged sock monster. It's hard to match socks when they're very similar and black and your whole room is lighted only by a lonely 60-watt bulb. Because you never open your blinds and have covered most of them with posters. And the stuff on the ceiling makes it nice and dark too, since light bouncing off an Edward Scissorhands poster is way darker than light bouncing off of a white ceiling.
~If you ever consider downloading Alice Cooper songs, DO NOT download Only Women Bleed. It's one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life.
~If Alice Cooper is "on the inside lookin' out" and Danny Elfman is "on the outside looking in", are they looking at each other? ha-HA! that was a good one. :)
~Make a note: download Inmates (We're All Crazy) and Serious. And maybe From the Inside, The Quiet Room, and Nurse Rozetta.
~NO CATS ON THE KEYBOARD!!
~Of course, the Ray Conniff Christmas record is still in the player. It's the only thing mom ever listens to on it. It would have been a lot cheaper just to buy the album on cd.
~Oh, From the Inside. That's what the record's called. It's not nearly as good as Love it to Death or Welcome to My Nightmare. But still.
~Please turn me on I'm Mr. Coffee with an automatic drip
~So let's sink another drink cuz it'll give me time to think
~Soon I will take my 56 pop cans to Kroger and exchange them for some pop and some cash. Last time mom was in my room she said "What, you have a pop factory in here?" Then she said "don't draw eyes on your wall, it's creepy". That’s pretty funny because there are no eyes on my wall. And of all the shit on my wall/ceiling she picks out this one picture to talk about that has an oval that's about 1/8 of an inch wide with a black circle inside. Oh, I made an icon out of it. It's on the "grooviness" page, 5th from the end. [I found 4 more cans, total of $6. I added $38.50 to it and got money orders for the minim payments on my credit cards.]
~That is the creepiest, weirdest thunder I've ever heard. If that's what that is… maybe someone's juggling dumpsters - and dropping them. It's very loud, and low, and long, and far away, and frequent. And light outside.
~Typical. I come home. Park my car. It starts POURING.
~Usually, isn't Side One of a record better than Side Two?
~We'll meet again some day, right now just go away
~What ever happened to Des'ree? Make a note: download some Des'ree songs.
~What have I got that makes you want to love me?
~When you see me with a smile on my face, then you know I'm a men'al case
~Where the hell is my Chicago cd? I miss it… I want to copy it to my hard drive… hello… ?
~Yah, I don't know most of the songs on this album [From the Inside].
