if, for some inconceivable reason, you'd rather not watch all 15+ minutes of the 2 concert videos below, do yourself a favor and at least catch moz's lusty, 6-minute rendition of "human being". even if the ritalin is wearing off, there's a s.w.a.t. team in your driveway, and your cat has just sprouted opposable thumbs, take the 6 minutes... it's time well spent. ("human being" starts at 2:45 from the end of the first clip and continues at the beginning of the 2nd. you can find the studio version on the "you have killed me" EP.)

they're not kidding. think of the most gruesome horror movie (or american idol episode) you've ever seen, and then multiply it by, i dunno, infinity. this is cold-blooded murder caught on tape. there is no way you can prepare yourself for it. but there is also no way you can continue to participate in it once you've seen it.
Music:
not enough time or space to list them all here. everyone from dylan to dizzy, waits to wonder, piaf to presley to the pretenders... it just has to move me (ideally, without making my ears bleed). currently sporting a rain man-like obsession with: nick cave, pj harvey, neko case, also, and morrissey, morrissey, morrissey.
