GOOD. I got screwed out of seeing him in Dallas.

I land in Chicago on December 13th. I'll have to grab the final print edition and do just that.

Hot.

Have to ask - has anyone ever dressed in drag? Other than Halloween, I was a man for a drag party last year. I'll see if I can find a photo. Someone told me I looked like their father, so my night was a success.

I love RuPaul. His interviews tend to get crunchy but he's clearly a very savvy and intellgent person. I would love to spend a day with him and listen to him wax philosophical on all aspects of pop culture.

Talking Heads - Girlfriend is Better

These avacado fries turned out well and went great with my Whataburger spicy ketchup. http://www.thegluttonousveg…

Clearly you are the bee's knees.

I will be in London next week. Staying in Twickenham. Anyone know of any thrift stores, bars, or general good things I should check out? I did all the touristy stuff with my Mom last time.

Machinery.

My friend has a co-worker named Cinnamon.

Hmm. I'm seeing Skinny Puppy and Neutral Milk Hotel in February. Might as well add Paul Simon and Sting to the mix.

Thank you for this. I was just talking about riot grrrl last night with a guy who spit out the word "feminist" like it was expired milk. Riot grrrl was very important to me when I was younger. I had no role models in my family, so I sought them out in music. Kathleen Hanna has essentially said the same; she wanted to…

Thursday I went to Numbers for Halloween. A grand total of zero people knew my costume. Fortunately my catsuit was pliable so I was able to dance all night. I randomly saw my co-worker, who looked AMAZING. He was dressed in a suit and hat totally covered in mirror parts (he said it took him 38 hours to make).…

No gimmick at all! I was genuinely curious. Thanks to everyone who responded.

Where is the best place to start with Arcade Fire's music? Just go in order? Everyone I know loves them, but I have never heard a whole album. A friend made me a mix cd of their music. It was fine, but all the songs sounded the same to me. I feel like I'm missing something.

If I could do a hate song, it would absolutely be "You're Beautiful". I was in a thrift store a week ago and heard it on the radio. I had seen clips of the video, but had never heard the entire song. It repulsed me. I had to quell a gag. That has never happened to me outside of hearing the 7th Heaven theme song. Both…

I agree. And I'll wave my little flag to Villagers, who weren't mentioned here but were nominated for {Awayland}. This is their second nomination in a row; I feel like they're the tortoise in all this. Not in prizes - that's just confetti. But they'll get bigger and continue to expand musically.

Yes yes. Music is the only thing I can talk about here.

Ha, that reminds me of when I was Fever Ray a few years ago. I gave up trying to explain it and just told people I was a skull.
