This morning at ConGregate/SAGA, Valentine Wolfe brought their awesome blend of goth metal and Victorian chamber music for a “Sunday Morning Metal” hour. They said “This is for Darrell” before playing their beautiful version of This World Is Not Conclusion by Emily Dickinson. (continued in comment)

They played a song from their upcoming album, a song called “The Dead Travel Fast” (my vampire friends will get the allusion) and Braxton’s music and Sarah’s voice were so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. (Yes, I used the word “beautiful” twice.)

My version is crunchy peanut butter, honey, granola, and banana between two slices of multigrain bread. I call it the Grizzly Bear.

Came across this note I made in my phone at DragonCon last year (2 of 2): @cmpriest.bsky.social on living with a gentleman ghost in her house: A real ghost story doesn't have an ending. It's like a dream. Most early encounters with ghosts are more confusing than scary.

My favorite David Bowie song is Moonage Daydream (especially the live version from the movie), but my favorite David Bowie album is Blackstar, which doesn’t have that song. My favorite Bruce Cockburn song is Lord of the Starfields, but my favorite Bruce Cockburn album (continued in comments)

...is Wondering Where the Lions Are, which doesn’t have that song. My favorite Patti Smith song is People Have the Power, but my favorite Patti Smith album is Banga, which doesn’t have that song. (continued in next comment)

My favorite Grateful Dead song changes with the seasons and is currently Althea, but my favorite Grateful Dead album is Wake Up to Find Out, which doesn’t have that song. My favorite Indigo Girls song is Get Out the Map, which IS on my favorite Indigo Girls album, Shaming of the Sun.

Correction: the name of the Bruce Cockburn album is Dancing in the Dragon's Jaws.
