It was good enough to imagine, from your post, but the set-up they are working on sounds awesome.  Thanks.

I never did get to find out, alas.  But that song definitely has my archtypal crush pegged down.

Someone I was hitting on post-college turned me onto Copper Blue.  (A geek-sexy waitress in glasses who loved reading foreign literature, classical music, and playing Risk.  I had to try.)
In my typical music obsessive fashion, I listened to Copper Blue over and over again on tape in Philly biking around between shitty…

Actually to Malingerer (discus only goes 4 deep): Legend?  That shit is no legend.  The wrecking of the Spanish Armada pretty much mixed in a ton of Spanish blood with the local populace — Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.  (I'm sure Spanish seamen were pretty much hung in England.)  
If you were an Irish woman, wouldn't…

One Dr. Fegg afficianado here — of course, our father was the kind of guy who allowed his kids to watch Python movies before puberty (though we had to visit friends to watch Rambo; Red Dawn; etc. Sex before violence . . .) and he got us the book as a gift for Christmas one year.  The drawings were appropriately…

I had a group of friend in high school with me who tried this, too — but we did it for talent shows and drama competitions.  We did a fine Dead Parrot; we had a great Bookshop sketch ("That's Charles Dikkens with two "K"'s, the well known Dutch author"); Argument Clinic . . .
But our very best and favorite was The…

I agree about the futuristic sounds, but not from my own experience.  In a vacuum, Cosmogramma just seemed like a natural progression of music to my ears — beautiful, layered, dense and catchy.  A huge leap for sample based and electronic music, much like Paul's Boutique was back in the day.
Then when I play it for…

Seriously.  Most scions of powerful/wealthy/important people are absolute wastrels.  (My personal opinion is that the skills that allow one to be a pioneer/industry leader don't overlap much with the skills of good father/role model/teacher.  Too busy getting shit done to bother with passing on the skills on how to…

They probably had seniority.  Many of my more senior colleagues schedule their vacations for right before school starts, so they don't have to deal with the last minute clientele who did nothing to get ready for the new school year.  I imagine the children's librarian in your experience was periodically reminded the…

YES!  I am on a mission to bring back cocktails at lunch with my co-workers, and I'm slowly converting them, one beer/girly drink/absinthe at a time.
We are all children's librarians and it makes the afterschool time MUCH easier.
