raybearBeing broke never sounded so good. In addition to Shelby Lynne and OutKast albums, I also acquired Rufus Wainwright's latest. I love this new thing at Tower where they sell new releases ridiculously cheap on the first day they come out, only to jack the price back up the next day. Well, I like it when I actually manage to make it there on a Tuesday when I have money, or part-money part-gift certificate.
I wasn't going to rush out and get Rufus after reading a mediocre review, but then I read a great review elsewhere, decided to split the difference and follow my instinct which in this case was more than correct. Love it. Rufus is perhaps a bit of an acquired taste, but really how many singer-songwriters out there have been heavily influenced by musical theater in a non-Linda Eder way? I dream at night of a collaborative album between him and Marianne Faithful that would feature Burt Bacharach, Stephen Sondheim, Kurt Weil, and Jacques Brel songs.
Actually I dreamt last night about watching Aretha Franklin on television, then this morning I nearly choked on my poached egg when I saw the commercial for today's episode of Oprah with special guest star....Aretha Franklin. Maybe someday my psychic dreams will be more useful, like winning lottery numbers.
Although my powers of perception did amaze me last night when I re-read a short story I wrote where some of the scenes were based on real-life experiences, and my character makes this observation about someone's behavior, and the other night when talking to the real person that I based the interaction on, it turns out I was exactly correct in my perception. This might not make sense, but in order to fully explain I'd have to take up too much time and too much space and I'm mostly just making a note of this for myself as a reminder that hey, you're doing alright. Keep plugging away and paying attention.

Hey, can Tom Waits make a guest appearance on that Rufus/Marianne collaboration?
