All Shall Love Me and Despair

My CD of Heloise & The Savoir Faire's "Trash, Rats and Microphones" arrived in the mail today. Two thumbs up! I really like Heloise's voice, and of course their music is a throwback to the 80s (of the good kind), so how could I not love it? :D

*uses mood with picture of River dancing because she lacks dance related icon*

*boogies off to bed*

An hour of Linkin Park videos on MTV - that's Christmas! :D

Got some lovely gifts *huggles to serenitysangel and kneonlight* and Christmas cards. And apparently I have one more gift on the way, heee! Back to work tomorrow for two days - boy, I woke up at 4pm today, so I certainly hope that I can go to sleep tonight at a somewhat decent time! Hopefully it will be quiet enough at the office that I can catch up with some stuff, and clean up my files and folders a bit.

The people at MTV.com are speculating about the possible cast for The Hobbit - obviously contains some spoilers.

Oh, and it seems unsure when the RotK Complete Recordings CD will be available again... *sigh* At least I found a download that will tide me over!

Hope you're all having a wonderful Christmas time!

Oh, and for all those who have read the "Nightrunner" books - Lynn Flewelling posted a Holiday Snippet from the upcoming fourth volume in the series, "Shadow's Return" - is it July yet???!!! *whimper*



Argh I hate these mini migraine attacks - now of course I totally lost track of what I wanted to do. Oh well, it will come back to me eventually...

omg I can't even read the ROTK Annotated Score without tearing up...

Please please please let the CD arrive quickly...

This is just in from George, moderator of the (official) John Barrowman mailing list, and I assume it should appear on John's official website very soon:

Well after months of my dodging rumors and queries to which I had to keep silent but UNTIL NOW!!! I can happily, giddily announce the following :

John Barrowman releases his highly anticipated album Another Side on November 12th out on Sony BMG.

Another Side is a collection of songs that John has long admired and wanted to reinterpret in his own distinctive way. Across a number of musical genres, but predominantly sumptuous, streamlined pop, he lends his rich vocals to, amongst others, Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time", Elton John's "Your Song", and Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now". His rendition of Billy Joel's "She's Always A Woman To Me" is velvet and sensuous, as is his heartfelt interpretation of All Out of Love.

I am VERY curious for this album! :D

Oh dear... looks like I'll spend quite a bit of money on doors stuff later this and early next year!

Doors celebrating 40th anniversary with busy slate

By Melinda Newman, Billboard

As the Doors' surviving members gear up for the band's 40th anniversary -- with plans for a comprehensive boxed set, reissues, merchandise and an interactive Las Vegas attraction -- there is a possibility that their music may be used in commercials for the first time.

It almost happened in 1969, when drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek agreed to license "Light My Fire" to Buick to advertise its German-made Opel. Singer Jim Morrison, who was out of town for the meeting, vehemently disagreed, and the deal never came to pass. From that point, Densmore has opposed commercial usage, although Krieger and Manzarek have opened up to the possibility.

All deals, licensing and otherwise, must be approved by all partners in the Doors' assets: The three surviving members have a 75% share, and Morrison's families and his late girlfriend, Pamela Courson, share the other 25%.
