I do (did) have Celebrity Skin and enjoyed it. Not quite sure what happened to it, though, haven't seen it in years. . . . which makes me think I had the cassette. Definitely noticed the Corgan influence on the record.

Oh, it's worse--I'm Swedish AND Irish. So, I'm pretty much a milky translucent version of white, prone to spontaneously combust when I am in the sun. That is, when I'm not wearing my specially designed NASA suit outside.

I picked up Making Mirrors a few weeks ago. I really like the first three songs, don't know what to think about the rest. I'm getting tired of "Someone I used to know" as the radio plays it all the damn time now..

Well Amazon strikes again with "if you like this, ....." I went to order the new Candlebox and Smashing Pumpkins Sean mentioned, and also ended up with the new Shinedown, Eve 6, Garbage, Art of Dying, Cavo and 12 Stones. I wasn't even drinking, dammit.

Yeah, some of it will take time to grow on me, I think. I don't listen to the radio, thankfully, so it's hard for it to ruin songs for me.

Good job on the sober shopping spree, by the way. Ha ha.

Sean, I'm Scottish and Swedish. I know how you feel.

Ken, I used to have red hair when I was younger. It's mostly dingy brown now, but the red still shows up in my beard.


Along with the grey.

So, if no SPF is high enough to protect you, what do you use in Phoenix, asphaltum? Oh, now I know what that coatrack is really for--parasols!

No room for parasols on the coatrack--already filled with giant sombreros.

How do you keep them from spilling?

Duct tape, of course.
