And there was music, and there were wonderful roses

Damn hell yo! That's what WE'RE talking about! Forgive us Mary Mary for we have sinned, but the new karaoke host who replaced her for the first time last night brought THE HUGEST FUCKING SONGBOOK in the history of amateur performance. TEN THOUSAND titles. Chrissie Hynde being her songstress role-model, Girl-E was positively flippy about the presence of a dozen Pretenders songs (as compared to the two in Mary's old books). While they never got their all-girl Smiths tribute band off the ground, Girl-C was able to capitalize on the Smiths offerings, tucking away some Morrissey solo material for later. The book even had some old-school ska, which had the high school sophomore in Girl-E skanking her eyes out.

Anyhoo. Someone definitely gave Reverend Pete (the new guy) some tips on how to impress the hard-nosed Mary-worshipping regulars. Pete even referred to Girl-E as an "all-star" when introducing her, a title she had never earned before, reserved only for an elite group of rock star wannabes (that's actually not an oxymoron, but you'd have to be there to understand. And notice that we remembered the word "oxymoron" this time). Amen brother.

Girl-E actually has a lead on doing the pseudo - rock star thing for real again, but we don't want to jinx anything so we'll report back on that (or not) next week.

Oh and for the record, until about 10 minutes ago she was working her ASS off all day, no time for a single pudding.

Dude! I product tested that game! I wrote about it once, but then had to delete it because Hilatron reminded me that I had signed a confidentiality agreement :).

Ooh! Ooh! I wanna be in the all-girl Smiths tribute band! Except, I can't sing. Or play anything. But I can wander around dramatically a la "Every Day Is Like Sunday".

Also, let us observe a brief moment of silence for our PS2 which has gone to the great electronics store in the sky, ensuring that we will not be playing any games anytime soon, kareoke or otherwise. (And Jesus wept.)

Yeah, the band never got off the ground because we can both sing but fell apart in our efforts to become the requisite guitar and bass divas. But maybe we could make it an all-girl Smiths tribute performance art troupe. You live in Boston, right? :)

i can play the drums. but i live no where near boston. and it's hard to make a band out of just 2 singers and a drummer girl. will have to scheme further on this topic.
