More or less unrelated notes on music.

- Am I the only one who likes In Utero more than Nevermind? It's something about the production, I think- everything sounds like it's happening in your ear. I've pretty much resigned myself to being a weird Nirvana fan anyway, mostly because I think the Courtney theories are bullshit and he did, in fact, shoot himself. (Then again, I'm a fan of Courtney too. More her work with Hole than her solo stuff, but a fan nonetheless.)
- And, solely to justify the above: whatever you think of Hole, at least it kept Melissa Auf der Maur from having a solo career. *long, long shudder*
- I found out the other day that Trent Reznor likes the Dresden Dolls, which I... am not going to comment on, because there's really nothing I can say, is there? It's too cute.
- The video for I'm Not Okay (I Promise) is exactly what my life would be like if I was a heavily medicated vampire attending a private school.
- Apparently I should not become a fan of the Libertines, because then my heart will be stomped and I'll want to stab Pete in the face. Also bunnies, England of yesteryear, and crack. Right then.
- You know that George Michael song, Father Figure? Fucking CREEPY, for reasons of likening romantic/sexual love to parenthood can never ever work, unless maybe you're Jack White, and even then it's kind of squicky sometimes.
- Speaking of Jack White... I'm not the only one who has a big dorky crush on his fake sister, right?
- Both Placebo and the Strokes are coming out with new albums in 2006. Possibly other people too. I WILL DIE. (Also, another thing I learned: The Kills were touring with Placebo a while back. I'm pissed that they never came around here, because Brian Molko and VV on the same stage? Excuse me, could I trouble you for a cup of SEX?)

Also... hooleilia?
(I need to work that word into everyday conversation.)
