I'm listening to samples from Alan Cumming's first solo album. It's quite..quirky, like him. It's a completely random collection of songs and some of his interpretations are very interesting/strange. In fact, it's probably not a very good album but I love it nonetheless. 

I spent a fabulous weekend in NYC last February. Wonderful for a couple of reasons, one highlight was seeing Alan perform this collection at the Lincoln Center, in one of their intimate performance spaces. His wit, delightful observations and re-tooling of some classic songs reminded me why I admire and appreciate him so much. Listening to these samples makes me happy and I suspect I'll have to brave limewire today to find DLs.

But for now...five for Friday, with a musical slant:

1. What's one of your favourite songs right now?

2. If you celebrate Christmas, is there a particular song that reminds you of the holidays/gets you into the spirit?

3. What is one of your favourite concert memories?

4. What musician/band is your dirty little secret? Or do you not care, like me, and proclaim your love of cheesy, terrible bands for all to hear?

5. The Jonas Brothers are....

I've put up all the lovely holiday cards I've received (thanks again everyone!). I have bacon in the oven for a feta cheese pastry i'm making (omg, yum!). And, I'm curled up in the armchair listening to the rain pound down. Right here, in this moment, today is gorgeous. Happy Friday, lovelies!

1. And I'm SO loving the new Snow Patrol ("Just Say Yes") :D

2. That's a lovely one *nods*

3. And omg then they started crying when the concert was over!! And I was all WTF? since the tickets had sold out fast and I was just happy to be able to be there... I don't think I'll ever make the die!hard!fangirls' club...

4. Exactly!

5. Plz to be going here (http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=464e52300df632d036df4e8dca141969962ce5f55d1b4f5fc95965eaa7bc68bc) ;-)

1. Oh, yeah, I really like it too! But I pretty much think I'll love anything SP puts out.

3. Ahahaha. Yes. I went with my best friend, who was one of the screamer/crier types. i actually re-thought our friendship. :) I think that now I'd make the die-hard!fangirl's club. But there still wouldn't be screaming or crying involved.

5. omg, thank you so much! i promised the imp i'd burn a cd or two and was dreading looking for them.

1. Heee! I'm guessing me too because this one is another wonderful song *nods*

3. Heeee!! Yeah, I get what you mean. There are bands I'm so so enthusiastic about that I'd try an application for that club ;-)

5. Aren't you glad I'm so open about my guilty pleasures?? Heh - you can do with some time-saving help. <3
