No answer on the telephone




Heart - Alone


This was stuck in my head this morning thanks to
...And now thanks to tonight's episode of Glee, it's back again. So I'm sharing.

'Til now... I always got by on my own
I NEVER REALLY CARED UNTIL I MET YOU!


✯ ✯ ✯


I know it's chilled you to the bone...
But you should NOT wear this sweater if you want to get someone Alone.

So... I guess the name choice is inviting us to compare this sweater to the top that Michael wears in the Thriller video?

Okay, let's:

WE'RE CHEETAH GIRLS, CHEETAH SISTERS

A: You know why you should never play cards with big cats?
B: No, why?
A: Cos they're all CHEATAHS!

hohohohohoho

Just to be clear, this is "WTF Sweater Week" ...As in a week of "WTF?"-inducing sweaters. (Though this one is also kind of fierce by merit of having a GIANT CHEETAH on it.) There will be lots of normal sweaters in the weeks to come, though, never fear. Maybe they will even get a week of their own.

Rodrigo y Gabriela - Tamacun

"Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero are two fast-fingered, Dublin-based Mexicans with a unique sound created on acoustic guitars. Their music is difficult to define, straddling both world and rock and often imbued with timeless Hispano – classical influences. The fire in it comes from their life-long passion for metal music."

Not my favorite Corinne song, lyrics are a bit preachy, but I've had a bad day so right now they're also comforting.

Hope you all have a lovely autumn!

Stars - In Our Bedroom After the War

Maybe not the best match for the necklace, but it's an old favorite of mine. And it is a song about the end of a war, the ideal of a post-war peacetime life... so I think it fits.

Wake up
say good morning to
that sleepy person
lying next to you;
if there's no one there,
then there's no one there --
but at least
the war is over.

I've known this song for a long time and just recently started listening again. (You know, it could be about Claude in HAIR, if he joined NASA instead of the army.)

Foks (Short in Ginger) - celapiu on Etsy

"Foks is a unique and original Celapiu design. It is a handcrafted fox-shaped scarf, a witty accessory and pro-eco manifesto at the same time. Fokses come in two different lengths: this short one has a flat, 'run over by a roller' look, and a special clip, that helps to adjust it around your neck. You can order gloves-cum-mittens to go with your Foks (they are $27)."

✯ ✯ ✯




"Twisted" from Twister: The Musical
(From "Hey, You Know What Movie Would Make a Good Musical?" at The Zipper Factory)
(Performed and introduced by the exceedingly charming Jason Michael Snow)

I have taken the liberty of transcribing the lyrics.

✯ ✯ ✯

Look at that sky...
She's really talkin' today
Darkly mumblin'
Across the way
Like a... bitter uncle...
Angry at me...

...Recalling memories inappropriately...

LEAVE me alone
I thought I'd already ran from home...

(Cue jaunty piano.)

Remember the breeze blowing through our hair?
That was a time when we both... didn't care (pffffhahaha)
I remember your smile, and that look in your eye
Sent me right to the eye of the storm

Chasin' after something we could never take hold
I was sick of flyin, sick of tryin to be bold
Lost in your hair, and DAMN those eyes
Still haunting me but no longer warm --

Now I'm TWISTED, can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide...
Please don't let my storms collide!
I'm twisted
up
in
side.

OKAY OKAY so wait, universe, get off my back!
I've found a new career and weathercasting's my knack
But something's telling me to stick around...
I guess that I still care

And I know I'm happy with... oh, what's-her-name
No, no no, I really know her name...
...
...
...
...
--OH!
MELISSA!
THERE.

NOW I'M TWISTED, can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide!
PLEASE don't let my storms COLLIDE
I'm twisted up inside...

(Cue jaunty piano change to BRIDGE ARRANGEMENT VAGUELY REMINISCENT OF WICKED)

I thought the yellow brick road was far behind me...
The technicolor world of Oz burned so bright...
Emerald City's towers shone so coldly...
And suddenly I'm lost in the grayest night...!

But Dorothy wants to click her heels and fly...
Should I return to the warm expanse of Kansas sky?

Now I'm TWISTED, can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide!
Please don't let my storms collide!
I'm twisted up iiinnnnNNNOW I'M TWISTED,
can't decide!
Only wind can be my guide...
PLEASE don't let my storms collide!

I'm twisted up with her...
Twisted up with her....
Twisted like a--

...

...

TWISTEEEEEEEEEEEER!
