i'm not that in touch with contemporary music of the last ten or fifteen years. i can't even afford to spend the time downloading & filing mp3s. i do hear what my friends play for me, and i don't often enjoy much of it -- most of it seems so derivative and bland. however, i must say that the intensity with which garbage plays definitely caught my ear, although i think they're a little monotonous & repetative sometimes. and shirley manson's angst sounds sincere, at least!

"Singin' in the Rain" would never sound quite the same after A Clockwork Orange. In a twist of kismet, director Stanley Kubrick asked his star, Malcolm McDowell, if he knew any songs. The actor happened to know all the words to the titular song of the great MGM musical. Kubrick liked it so much that not only did McDowell warble it in a pivotal (rape) scene, but it would be the song to prove his character's undoing later in the film.

I'm on my way to the chiropractor.....go check out the entry I made today in my LJ...2/11/04 Yea..today is my unbirthday....OMG....5 months till I'm 23. Where did the year go? P.S. I really like this entry.....I love your wonderful odd creative side. Your brain is so wonderful.
well, i guess the ice demons consorted with the storm deities?
i should have listened to the cosmic synchronicities telling me to leave town... turning on the radio to hear a story about a farm that had degus (even though it was actually a program about eggs), & reading Yoruba stories (through Harold Courlander) about Agemo, the Chameleon:
` ` In the creation myth of the Yoruba tradition, “The Descent from the Sky” (Courlander, p.189), Agemo the chameleon plays an integral part in the power struggle between Olorun, the supreme orisha, ruler over the sky and the earth beneath the sky, and Olokun, female deity of the sea and the marshes, in his quest to make earth where only water and marshes exist. The chameleon outwits Olokun in a match paralleling the Greek tale of Arachne challenging Athena to a weaving competition. ' ' - from Universal Myths and Symbols:Animal Creatures and Creation/Animals in diverse mythologies/by Pedro Mendia-Landa
it must have been in england... they were saying things in cockney accents like, "they're like little bunny rabbits with long tails" i couldn't fing a transcript on kut, npr, or bbc -- maybe it was some weird syndicated program?
