Mistofolees and Sweeney

May 06, 2006 23:52

So, my parents are my heroes right now for Pure, Unadulturated Geekiness. Mum told me this ages ago, but I'd forgotten: Mum and Dad used to have a cat named Misty. She was my other mother for the first year or two of my life; she used to bother Mum when I cried, and she slept in my crib sometimes. Unfortunately, she was hit by a car when I was two ( Read more... )

Random: what do you think of Snow Patrol?

Oh, I love it. I really do. lady_moriel sent me the song "Run" a while back, which was also beautiful, so I went "oooh, Snow Patrol". (And, er, I've played it thirteen times since last night. Heh. Actually, I'm playing it right now.) I also nicked KT Tunstall, which is my new happy bounce-about-to song, and Death Cab, which is pretty. And I might nick Iron & Wine later if my computer's in a good mood, and I'm not trying to do sixteen things at once. :p

You should get some Death Cab and Iron & Wine from Ruth Ann. Or from me, because she sent me four Death Cab songs and Iron & Wine's "Such Great Heights" cover.

Iron and Wine covered Such Great Heights?

Can I please have a copy? *begs*

See, this is why I need to make poetry my project this summer. I get the Mistofolees reference--I do vaguely remember it from Practical Cats--but not the Mr. Sweeney stuff. And I still haven't read The Waste Land.

Also, Snow Patrol is love, except when it's, you know, not. I know I read some of their other lyrics and wasn't impressed by the...er...morals of such, though I don't remember quite what I read; admittedly, titles like "Make Love to Me Forever" and "One Hundred Things You Should Have Down in Bed" don't exactly speak well for their contents.

Which is why I need to read more lyrics and get all the ones that are okay. :p

The Sweeney poems are somewhat...odd. Odder than normal Eliot, anyway. I have absolutely no idea what they're about, especially as they're sort of weirdly comical, but still...odd.

Re: last. That's what the library iTunes is for. (And I'm totally going to buy one of those gift cards Ruth Ann mentioned now. You! Get a better computer! With, um...hmm. You could threaten Best Buy employees with your fangs until they gave you stuff, I guess.)
