Once in a while, "Look Back In Anger" will get caught in my head. His performance on it is so commanding that it feels like Bowie has forcibly barged into my brain.

I'm with you—I'm a fan of Low (and Lodger), but just cannot get into Heroes (aside from the majesty of the title track, which is a contender for best song of his career).

SCOTLAND, PA is way more fun than it has any right to be. Absolutely worth 90 minutes of your life if you want to laugh.

Your fashion sense is also excellent.

To be fair, it IS something that Colbert loves: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Mark my words, "Burn" is going to show up in every musical theatre audition and cabaret night for the next 20 years.

It's really a terrific song. It's also an example of how the best song in the show isn't always the best song to put on the Tonys—the way they cut it for time meant that it was basically all "It's all right"s, and it just didn't play. I still wonder if it would have done better if they'd put together a more effective…

Also, seriously, check out the filmed version of PASSING STRANGE. It does an exceptional job at both making the show cinematic and capturing its theatrical excitement.

There are a few perplexing omissions—LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA (flawed book but some of the songs are orgasmically lovely), BOOK OF MORMON (which is maybe not the greatest score in history but is certainly an immensely enjoyable piece of theatre), CAROLINE OR CHANGE (my pick for greatest musical of the 00's, but the style…

There have been a handful of regional productions of PASSING STRANGE—I saw a terrific version in Chicago, and apparently it's running in Connecticut right now. It's a really tough show to do well, but I'm glad that some people are taking the risk. I think it's one of the best shows of the past ten years.

Get out of my brain.

Marcus. That's just about it.

That movie delights me.

I need to give both of them another try, and get Aerial as well. I own all of her albums through Red Shoes, and nothing since.

It's nothing world-changing, but I was entirely charmed by it. Strong cast and writing, and Bell can really carry a movie.

"…highly dramatic art pop, sung in a powerful high-pitched yelp that can still make first-time listeners giggle (especially when accompanied by the wild gesticulations of Bush’s music videos and early TV appearances), until they find themselves captivated."

(A Kate Bush pun thread. It's truly my lucky day.)

I…think that Sensual World is my second-favorite of hers, after (obviously) Hounds of Love. Is that weird?

You'd have to be Houdini to get it in any other way. Unless you have a Deeper Understanding of things than I do?

LOVE. LOVE.
