Take 83 songs and call me in the morning

So regonym suggested I post my Rock the Fuck Out/Guitartastic/Anti-PMS playlist FOR THE GREATER GOOD. It's, like, five hours long, but here you go! Keep in mind, it's composed entirely of songs that are currently on my tiny, vastly-in-need-of-an-update iPod, so there are some fairly obvious gaps in the content. For instance, it should definitely have some The Darkness, AC/DC, and more My Chemical Romance, but. It's pretty awesome anyway.

( Let's do this alphabetical by artist, why not. )

In other music news, a very important question for you Portland folks (you know, the hordes and hordes of you on my Flist -_-;;): WHO WANTS TO COME TO THESE CONCERTS WITH ME?!

Ludo, Oct 5, Hawthorne Theater, $13

Sufjan Stevens, Oct 29, Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall... if anyone's serious about this we need to act fast because the prices start at $35 and go up from there... that's $35 for the very edge of the upper balcony/nosebleed section, next to the wall.

Finally... ATTENTION, BATMAN FANS. I simply cannot recommend this webcomic enough: Batman and Sons, by The Black Cat (The Dark Cat on LJ). It features... well, Batman and his sons, Dick, Jason, Tim, and Terry, with appearances by other DC characters and, of course, Alfred. Dick is 12, Jason is 9, Tim is... I dunno, 6ish? And Terry is a tiny adorable baby. Everyone wears their costumes ALL THE TIME. The comic is full of hijinks and hilarity and OMG ADORABLENESS and lots of sneaky references to the canon, both classic and current. FANTASTIC. The order you read them in doesn't really matter, I don't think. You can poke around in her DA Gallery or her Livejournal. Or you can start where I did with one of her longer stories, "Mr. Bat-Mom", here and here on LJ, or in her DA Gallery. It's hilarious, especially Part 2.

Music Spam

So the only Ludo I've ever listened to is their album You're Awful, I Love You, which has some pretty good songs, and some pretty goddamn freaking excellent songs. I figured I ought to look up the rest of their music if I'm gonna go see them on Tuesday. Their new album Prepare the Preparations is all pretty good... I'll have to listen to it some more to form a definite opinion, I think.

Broken Bride - EP, on the other hand... OH MY GOD. Love at first hearing. It is the story of a man whose fiancée dies in an automobile accident on a morning in May in 1989, their wedding day. The man, heartbroken, builds a time machine in an attempt to go back in time and save her. He ends up lost in time, searching for her. It is brilliant and fantastic and tragic and silly and BEAUTIFUL. I bought it immediately, and cannot recommend it enough. <3 Ludo, the crazy, ridiculous, poetical bastards.

Appropriate icon is appropriate, obviously. Is that the Cloister Bell I can hear at the end of Save Our City?

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!

James came over. We're having a sleepover! :D He keeps me company and brings me food, and in return he gets to use our hot shower. Tuesday we're both going to see Ludo; I'm so excited!

Tonight we had a mini-marathon of Jensen Ackles vs. Batman Batman: Under The Red Hood and some of The Dick Grayson Show White Collar Season Two.

I tried to do the dishes that have been sitting around since Friday night. The pile of potato, carrot, and beet peelings was apparently too much for the plumbing to handle; the pipes clogged up and started leaking, and the vibrations from the garbage disposal sprayed beet juice ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF THE CABINET. I turned in a work order; meanwhile our pipes are dripping beets into a tupperware.

*SIGH* This always happens when there's a huge pile of dishes that needs doing. ALWAYS. The leaking is new. Clearly Murphy couldn't pass up the chance, I mean, beet juice was involved. BEET JUICE.
