To use a slightly ironic turn of phrase, my creative process is kind of like a car crash. It's horrible and messy but the end result usually gets at least a few people to slow down traffic while they get a better look. That said, I'm always open for donations. Time, tithes and talents, as the church might say. ... I may be booking my ticket to Hell.
Anyway. You're welcome. I'm a strong believer in avoiding the scene but enjoying the music. It's just safer that way.
I'll keep an eye out for you and maybe we can kick somebody out of their seat. We cripples only fit in first class. I've always got a ton of things in the works but right now I'm mostly focusing on the comic, some weird vampire flick and now the cat ladies.
Psh. You're so uncultured. I mean, it's not just music, Aine. It's a way of life.
You should, they stow the unmarried teen mothers in baggage and let me tell you, I am not looking forward to that ride. Vampires sound pretty rad, though, like pre-Bela Lugosi style?
Well, shit, they don't teach us this out on the farm. All we got is Johnny Cash and Elvis, really!
Oh I certainly will because that just won't do. We need to be near enough to each other for our fellow travelers to hear exactly why we're making the trip. My vampires are something like that. Sort of trying to mix semi-modern concept with ancient lore.
Took some learning for me too but, if I can escape a childhood full of sea shanties, there's hope for you yet.
Obviously it's our job to make sure their ride to hell is in the most entertaining handbasketmobile yet. Is it Secret Business or can I harass you into letting me read a little?
...I'm sorry, I'm stuck on the idea of sea shanties.
Shall we join in a solemn vow to do just that? It's not like we'll have anything to lose. It's just a handful of disconnected scenes right now but I might be convinced to share.
I spent the first ten years of my life hanging out with lobstermen. Their shanties have a special place in my heart. Much like the 50 degree water under their boats.
Totally counts. Without question. Now I'm just curious what your mode of convincing will be.
It's supposed to keep sailors in rhythm with their work. Slaves did the same thing before the Civil War. They were just a lot less prone to crude lyrics.

Also, man, does that lady have god-awful table manners, or what? If you're going to be a cannibal, at least be a polite one. Lecter-style.

But seriously. I hope she doesn't still eat like that in front of company. Her unasuming spinster disguise is pretty weak if she does.

Also, I found music I like on the 'related videos' tab. Nice.

And the related videos are always pretty amazing that way. Even if you can't always figure out what the relation actually is.

Well, it had 'cannibal' in the title! I know what phenomenon you're referring to, though.

Also, you have good taste in music.

Thanks! I'm always vaguely concerned I'm going to turn into a hipster, the way my tastes run, lately.

Yeah, kind of a lot. I don't really fit in at the shows, you know, not enough tattoos, hair all one color.

They actually have sea shanties. This is fascinating to me.
