Current music:Elvis Costello - Gloomy Sunday

Man, I really wish I was going to The Intonation Music Festival......damn you Pitchfork for always telling me about concerts that I'll never be able to go to. Tickets are only $15 for a day pass, but it's in FRIGGIN CHICAGO so that's out of the question, plus I play a wedding on the day that I'd want to go.

I hate weddings. But I like money. And sometimes you can sneak into the reception and scam free drinks from the open bar, if you're stealthy enough. But we all know that I am far from stealthy. So no stolen drinks, just money. Which isn't really all that bad, I suppose.

Also, this is the saddest song I think I've ever heard. Download it. You won't regret it, unless it causes you to commit suicide.

One of my friends is going to intonation, sounds like a pretty good festival! too bad it won't come to canada. Also, do you know who wrote gloomy sunday? I know Sarah Mclachlan recorded it about a decade ago, I'm just not sure if it's one of hers or a cover. I like elvis costello's approach to it.

Well, there's some info about it here: Gloomy Sunday

There's a lot of legend behind the song. Billie Holiday's version of it is really great too.

I'm not depressed. But I like depressing music. Is that odd?

You know what IS depressing though? Our noses and ears grow our entire lives!
Ok, maybe not depressing, but scary, definately.

If you need a concert to go to you can fly to Germany for this Sunday...my choir is performing! :)

I think I knew that about the nose and ears....it's only half depressing to me though, since I have tiny ears. Maybe by the time that I'm a little old lady my ears will be in proportion to my head.

I just have bad images of poking peoples' eyes out with pinocchio nose by the time I'm 80...
