neverwhereHave I mentioned yet how much I love Dave Gorman? He is truly the cutest, silliest man in all England. *giggles*
I just watched the new Buffy episode, wooohooooo! All hail Kazaa! :D
I was actually a bit disappointed with most of it, not because it was a bad episode, but because I had seen such glowing reviews my expectations were too high. I really like the sexy new principal, although the new Sunnydale High campus looks more like the outside of the LA zoo than a proper high school. *giggles*
But the ending...oh WOW, that was truly amazing. I was left speechless, I can't believe what happened! Series 7 looks like it's going to be fantastic. :)
And now I'm going to say something I never thought I would...Spike is gorgeous. *grins*
I've always liked Spike, but for his humour ('people are just Happy Meals on legs'), not because he's delicious eyecandy. All that has changed however. I don't know why, but the hotness of James Marsters was unbelievable in this episode. Maybe it's because he was really sweet and pathetic and I just like that sort of thing, maybe it's because his hair looked slightly different...all I know is that my heart was pounding and I started to swoooon. Gahhh, I can't believe I feel this way over Spike! I wonder if it will last. *laughs*
(Don't worry Xander my love, you'll always be my favourite Buffyhoney. Well, apart from Giles of course. *giggles* ;-)
Continuing with the Buffy theme (gosh, I've talked about nothing else all week! I haven't been this involved with Buffyness in years...) I am currently downloading songs from Anthony Stewart Head's album Music for Elevators. So far I've listened to 3 songs, and they are great -- not at all what I was expecting, more techno-jazz-pop than rock and roll, very synthy and evocative. I am liking it very much, and not just because its Giles. *G*
Actually, if someone could recommend so new music to me I'd really appreciate it. I think I've been stuck in a bit of a musical rut lately (I've only listened to Tori Amos, The Divine Comedy, Loreena McKennit and various musicals for months now) and am desperate for something new. Unfortunately the brief snippets of contemporay music I've heard have made me feel absolutely ill, they are so appalling, so I haven't had much hope of finding anything decent. In case you don't know, I like 60's rock, good modern rock like Garbage and U2, rennaisance, classical and celtic music, singer-songwriters, and bands that make me laugh, like Moxy Fruvous and Barenaked Ladies. So, any suggestions? :)

I think it's about time to wander downstairs to eat some dinner and then go to sleep. Goodnight Nevviefans! :)

Date: 2002-10-06 04:39 pm (UTC)I hated Bored of the Rings. :) Did you see that I recommended a book for you in my last entry?
'sweet, shy, a bit unsure of themselves, highly intelligent'.... Yep, that's me allright! :D
I've heard of Fairport and have been wanting to find some good songs, can you recommend your favourites please? :)

Lesse... Fairport tunes... I only have one of their albums, Leige and Lief (their most highly regarded) and some of the songs that come to mind are:
Come All Ye
Matty Groves
Tam Lin
Farewell Farewell
Farewell Farewell isn't likely to make any new fans of their music, it's just one of my personal favourites. Their most famous songs are probably Matty Groves and Tam Lin.
I'm sure you have (cos you're cool ;) ) but if you've not heard of Tam Lin before, check out this page. It's an old Scottish ballad about a man who has been captured by the fairies, and a woman who rescues him.

Date: 2002-10-06 05:24 pm (UTC)Hehehe COURSE I know about Tam Lin! Silly boy. :-P
I can't believe you've never read any Charles De Lint! And you think *I'm* the blasphemer. *chuckles*
He is the best writer of urban fantasy/modern myth there is, and I absolutely adore his work. He writes short story collections mostly, set in the fictional town of Newford, but he also does some amazing novels as well. You should read his first collection, Dreams Underfoot, I know you'll fall in love with Jilly and Sophie and all his other wonderful creations.
I'll try and find some of those Fairport songs on Kazaa tomorrow (it's time for bed now), thanks! *squishes*
And yes, I *am* cute. Thank you for noticing. ;-)

If you can't find any Fairport tunes on Kazaa, just ask me for 'em, I've ripped Fairport and Steeye both to my hard drive (along with lots more) so I can set you up.
And of course. ;)
