She is watching the detectives, ooh, he's so cute

Mea Culpa. There are certainly worse things to have stuck there, even worse Elvis Costello songs. Here's an amusing note--on the karaoke disc for "Oliver's Army," they can't spell out Nigger. So the lyric goes "one less white n------" on the the screen. Also it's very funny when someone decides to sing it, but seems to have forgotten that particular lyric and suddenly sees it and has to soldier on or just not do it. Heheheheh. Even better when there are actual African Americans in the bar.

Hubby and I Tivo Daily Show during the week and watch the whole lot in a batch on Sunday night. I love John Oliver although my fave of the "new kids" is Asif Mandvi (sp?-I'm too lazy to check right now.) I'd love to see some Jon/Asif slash. :)

Columbo stuff would be awesome. You know how much I love the Lieutentant.

And Poirot slash too? You're gonna kill me with the teasing if you don't follow through on these. (Yeah, I know, I'm one to talk. I didn't do the vampire femslash drabbles I promised.)

There was a really great Poirot/Hastings fic in Yuletide this year. I'll link if you like.

Haha. I'd love to do Patti Smith's Rock 'n' Roll Nigger in a karaoke bar, especially the line where it goes "Jackson Pollock. Was a nigger. NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER." I genuinely can't imagine why that one isn't heralded as a classic...

Aasif Mandvi is pretty great, but Rob Riggle is the only one who makes me cry laughing. It's his barely-suppressed rage that does it. And I like Samantha Bee, too - she's new, right? I only started watching it about nine months ago, or something like that.

I'll definitely try and write those. I feel like I should branch out a little bit, maybe cleanse my palate so that I can concentrate on the H/W fic properly. If I ever get the damn thing done.

Definitely link me! I've never read any Poirot slash. I shouldn't be surprised that it exists, but I kind of am - I thought I might be being original here. I guess there's nothing new under the sun. At least that makes me feel less insane.

Here's the Poirot fic.

Riggle doesn't do it for me. I'm not seeing any subtlety to the character, but maybe I'm missing something.

Sam Bee isn't really new, but she recently had a baby so she was off for few months and has only been doing more pieces lately.

One of the most amazing karaoke mindfucks along racial/sexual weirdness lines was my friend Keshawna a big, black, butch lesbian doing "Stan" by Eminem.

[petrichor_fizz]

I wouldn't say Riggle is the MOST subtle of characters, no, but... you know that scene where he sawed through the guy's table because his second name was 'Hussein', or something? It was a while ago, but you probably know the one I mean. I was doubled over laughing. There's just something about him that works for me.

Thanks for the link! I'll get reading.

PS. Don't tell anybody, but I like Dido. Seriously, tell no-one.

[karaokegal]

Your secret is safe...except from you know, anybody who reads this.

[petrichor_fizz]

Pfft. Nobody reads this.

[karaokegal]

Which makes me...what exactly?

P.S.-I'll try and upload some Me First And The Gimme Gimmes to sendspace over the weekend so I can give you the links.

[petrichor_fizz]

Um... a figment of my imagination?

Hope you're having fun in there, by the way.

No, you know what I mean. Just, even if somebody read the entry, they probably wouldn't read all the comments. And if they did, and found out, and they think they have the right to judge me, then they can just blow me! [/uncharacteristic and inexplicable aggression]

Thank you! I look forward to it. The name alone is intriguing.

[karaokegal]

then they can just blow me!

Which reminds me of something else I need to upload for you. :)

[petrichor_fizz]

Intriguinger and intriguinger, cried Alice...

[karaokegal]

I'm doing the uploads RIGHT NOW. Unfortunately I'm doing them in my apartment so it's dial-up hell instead of fast as lightning hi-speed.
While I'm at it, would you like some of the new Bryan Ferry album, which is all Dylan covers? I'll put an asterisk by the ones I really like.
Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues
Simple Twist of Fate *
Make You Feel My Love
The Times They Are A-Changing (not a good choice for Bryan IMO)
All I Really Wanna Do
Knockin' On Heaven's Door * (I really like it but it goes over 6 minutes.)
Positively 4th Street * (One of my favorite "nasty" Dylan songs and I think Bryan captures that.)
If Not For You *
Baby Let Me Follow You Down *
Gates of Eden
All Along The Watchtower * (My favorite on the album.)

[petrichor_fizz]

If it's no trouble, I would love that. Positively 4th Street is one of my favourite Dylan songs ever, at least when I'm in that kind of mood. I love the way it has this gorgeous tune, but the lyrics are pure bile.

I want to upload something for you too, but I don't know what you have. Hmm. Have you heard 'Yes, Virginia...'?

[karaokegal]

It's not ringing any bells. My taste is so unbelievably eclectic (which is a nice way of saying weird.) Go for it!

[petrichor_fizz]

It's the Dresden Dolls' album. One of them, I mean. I really like it. I'll upload it, and then if you do turn out to have it, no harm done.

[karaokegal]

Ah! No Dresden Dolls here. I'll look forward to it. And I'll do the whole Bryan Ferry album for you, along with a few Me First and The Gimme Gimmes and the "Blow Me" song. Then I'll do a post with all the links.

[petrichor_fizz]

Excellent! Thank you so much. I'll upload a few other things while I'm at it, and then if there's anything you want you can grab it, and if not then somebody else might.
