well now that i've got a computer i've gone download crazy. i've downloaded 30 jeff buckley songs that i'd never heard before, and there are still 10 or so more, and some fiona apple (remember her? i'm remembering), and, finally, after much trouble, the chicago soundtrack. it's so fun. some soundtracks you should buy and some you shouldn't (hedwig and i didn't click really). so now i get to hear "all that jazz" and "we both reached for the gun" and "when you're good to mama" and "mister cellophane" whenever i like, that's nice. and i've got this handy dandy cd burner so i'm just going to not buy anymore cds. not really.

yeah i'm getting back into fiona, and she is wonderful, and she's been trivialized on sex and the city but i like her all the same. last i heard she was lucky enough to be dating sexy paul thomas anderson, by the way. he is an incredibly good looking man and a very interesting director. she is great, bluesy, piano music and i was thinking, alan, if you like those other piano girls - michelle, vanessa, norah, etc - you would really like fiona. i know you know her, but do you know her well? download some of her stuff, it's very wonderful. go with "a mistake" and "pale september", that should give you the start of a well-rounded fiona perspective. she's not as poppy as vanessa and michelle and she's not as jazzy as norah, but she's just as sultry, and just as easy to listen to. and she's about 50 bazillion times sexier.
