Me and a Gun by Tori Amos

(tw for rape, reference to murder)


Tori Amos wrote this about the time she was raped. It's one of the few songs - or works in general - I've ever heard referencing that experience. It's a hard listen, but I think a significant one.

Wow

In some incarnations, the symbiote (and, by extension, Venom) requires a certain chemical (most likely phenethylamine) to stay sane and healthy, which has been said to be found abundantly in two sources: chocolate and human brain tissue. Thus, Venom is forced to steal/purchase large amounts of chocolate or become an unwilling cannibal who devours the brains of those he kills. - Wikipedia

OH MY GOSH.

OK, I know the cannibalism thing's a bit gross and not many people besides me are Eddie fans, but tell me you wouldn't have liked to chocolate thing in the film. Dude.

Tori Amos was just on the Graham Norton show. She appears to be celebrating her new-found split personality disorder with an album, but hey ho. The song sounded pretty good. I wasn't entirely taken with some of the stuff on The Beekeeper, but if she's going in a different direction I'm interested enough to want to keep up with her. Also, her hair is fabulous. Almost worth putting up with Graham Norton for.

The American Gothic DVDs are coming out! Hopefully! Hopefully soon! Hopefully on Region 2 aswell!

::is beginning to see that the DVDs getting released was only half the battle. Oh dear::

Anyway. Haven't read any more of Harry Potter. Haven't got a job :( But I have watched the first two episodes ever of Angel! And it's really fun because I didn't really watch it the first time around, so I really don't know what's going to happen. Yay!

Some things:

  • Angel really is quite adorable. Goddamnit.

  • They all are. Goddamnit.

  • Eeee, Lindsey is so pretty! Though his hair is clearly too short. And he is too evil. Soon conflict will come. And obsession with Angel

  • I am trying to decide when is the best (i.e. worst) time in his career for him to become pregnant with Angel's child. Hmm

  • I sort of want to go to the bar in Lonely Hearts. Not because I want to meet anybody. Just because...pretty colours...

  • I love this bit of conversation:

    Doyle: "You need to come out!"
    Angel: "Why?"
    Doyle: "Because we deserve one night of fun!"

    The wrong way to take things is the best way to take things, hurrah!


Thanks to the lovely [livejournal.com profile] jekesta and the lovely Yousendit, I can upload music files, yay! Hence, I present you with Crazy, clearly the theme tune of Angel/Lindsey angst.

Also, here is Baker, Baker, also by Tori Amos, which is equally clearly the theme tune of Rose/Mickey. If such a ship even exists. Bonus points for anyone who can quote all the lines to me which prove my crazy theory to be true.

I love Tori Amos.

I will close by saying that looking after a baby is just the most stressful thing in the world - ever. And I don't just mean the constant feeding, cleaning, changing, checking on and entertaining. I mean the fact that you worry that everything you do - and everything that happens - will somehow damage him. You kissed baby on the nose? You've given him a disease of some horrible kind. Baby bumped his head? That's brain damage. Baby got cold? That's pneumonia!!

Not that I would give any of it up for the world, of course ::is kind of scarily helpless in love for him ah well::
