All right, muse, you got your update.

I braved the Armbuster Scanner just for you.

With great thanks to hidetomatsumoto for Suzanne Vega's "Solitude," the song "Gypsy" has been getting the muses active again.

Such a pretty song...



You come from far away
With pictures in your eyes
Of coffeeshops and morning streets
In the blue and silent sunrise
But night is the cathedral
Where we recognized the sign
We strangers know each other now
As part of the whole design

Oh, hold me like a baby
That will not fall asleep
Curl me up inside you
And let me hear you through the heat

You are the jester of this courtyard
With a smile like a girl's
Distracted by the women
With the dimples and the curls
By the pretty and the mischievous
By the timid and the blessed
By the blowing skirts of ladies
Who promise to gather you to their breast

Oh, hold me like a baby...

You have hands of raining water
And that earring in your ear
The wisdom on your face
Denies the number of your years
With the fingers of the potter
And the laughing tale of the fool
The arranger of disorder
With your strange and simple rules
Yes now I've met me another spinner
Of strange and gauzy threads
With a long and slender body
And a bump upon the head

Oh, hold me like a baby...

With a long and slender body
And the sweetest softest hands
And we'll blow away forever soon
And go on to different lands
And please do not ever look for me
But with me you will stay
And you will hear yourself in song
Blowing by one day

Oh, hold me like a baby...

What's Technomancy, pray tell? I've heard of them before but I can't place it.

NIN is a tough sell - very industrial and driving. I have to be in a very particular mood before I can listen to any of their stuff. Don't own any albums, myself.

heck, who can be bothered paying full price when you can get it used? My favorite CD shop has the used cd's stuck in with the new, so that you can find the used copy with the new ones. I lucked out once with a handful of used Tori Amos singles.

You have "Solitude," right?

www.mancer.net - Basically a group of authors/webmistresses about my age, that write some pretty darned good stuff. I stumbled across them while looking for Hardin fic sometime last year, and since have gotten to know D/Alanna, at least... we have way too much in common, really, it's creepy. ;)

I think I've never been able to take NIN seriously since I saw the video for Closer. Even hearing the song still makes me start laughing like crazy to this day... every time that or The Perfect Drug came on MTV, my brother and I would just die laughing. :D

And nope, no Solitude. I consider myself lucky to have found 99.9F, Days of Open Hand, and Nine Objects of Desire all used... I found 99.9F used right away, in fact, which was a lucky thing considering that the song that got me hooked on her was "In Liverpool"

Meep! Well I can help you with Solitude now if you're interested. LMK if you are, no strings attached.

Thanks for the link. I'll definitely check them out.

I've never seen any NIN videos - I suppose I should be grateful? :)
