Howdy, kids. Anybody wanna buy me a new car for Christmas? I thought not. My ancient Honda died this morning. Things could be worse, I suppose. The lady who almost ran over me as I was walking down the highway shoulder *was* nice enough to move over a few inches to avoid hitting me. And she even stopped and gave me a lift to the nearest phone, apologizing profusely the entire way. Yeah, so ... no more Christmas shopping this year! Afraid all my dough will be going to the mechanic. And the only pressie I've purchased thus far was for my SweetLittleBabyNephew. We saw "Requiem for a Dream" this weekend, and, afterwards, he just *had* to have the soundtrack. Which brings us to the point of this post: Can any of you music addicts tell me anything about Pop Will Eat Itself? I know they've been around for a long time, but I don't recall ever actually listening to them. Clint Mansell has made some lovely, haunting sounds for "Requiem." And, I think he did the music for "Pi," too, which was quite tasty. Guess he must be buds with that Aronofsky fella, eh? Merry Christmas, everybody. (And Happy Hannukah to Eran, if he's still around.) Holiday hugs, Jeanette Personal P.S.s: Hey, Cowboy! I've not forgotten you. I'll write soon. Steve C.: Middle-aged!?! Well, I may be old, but I still have good taste ... and I need your address so I can order that CD. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
