- I got a letter from Patty today. This was her second letter, mailed about 8 weeks ago. Lord knows what happened to the first one. But it was lovely and strange.

- I am the last person on earth to discover Abney Park. I have a sneaking suspicion I am too old to be totally into this nonsense, but there's 80s DNA in there, just more menacing. So, er, yeah. AWESOME.

- On that note, a note to self: Don't listen to some random song by the new band you've just discovered (okay, ages after everyone else has) on repeat while reading Torchwood tentacle porn fanfiction, lest that song become forever associated with, well, tentacles.

- Combining these elements into a single post, I feel the need to apologize to both Patty (who is laughing is she can see this) and Abney Park, who presumably wouldn't give a damn even if they did see this.

If it's the middle eastern flavor that you like, you might want to give Gogol Bordello a try. I prefer them to Abney Park. They're more raw, punky. More fun, less concerned with image.

I love them. They are sort of like Nick Cave and Abney Park in a blender.

<3's Nick Cave! 'Red Right Hand' may be the Best Song Evar.

You turned me on to him.
You turn me on rather a lot. You are not to take that the wrong way.

Ha!
Good.

I am profoundly embarrassed to admit that I discovered GB because I heard Elijah Wood liked them. *hides face* I had a crush on Frodo, OKAY?? :)

Does he really?
Clearly, Mr. Wood is one of us. So having a big old crush on him would be totally cool.(Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Cool.)
