Alice Cooper & Super Furry Animals

Warning, I have really diverse tastes in music. About the genres I won't listen to are country and rap. In an effort to drown out the soundtrack to Barbarella (playing in my husband's room), I'm listening to these tonight:

Super Furry Animals Rings Around the World. This is the third album of their's I've bought (one is all in Welsh, haven't been able to get into it yet), but they are one of the hardest to describe bands I've listened to and are really in a weird class by themself.

Saint Etienne So Tough, a very early album of theirs. A British retro eclectic type band who has inspired me to check out other bands that have been labeled as "similar" by music reviewers including the wacky Japanese band Pizzicato Five (more on them later ;-)

The French equivalent of SE is Autour De Lucie, I'm listening to Faux Movement tonight. Really excellent French retro type pop band.

Garbage's Beautiful Garbage is in the mix just for fun. All of their albums are incredible, great driving music I discovered on a recent seven hour drive to New Orleans.

And because I was discussing Alice Cooper with my best friend on the phone earlier tonight, Welcome To My Nightmare, which I can listen to just about any time. I've been debating doing Alice's makeup for our Halloween party this year, I could be his younger sister. I have long dark wavy hair, a long Roman nose and deep set eyes. It really scares the hell out of my husband, who claims he doesn't really want to be married to Alice ;-)

(scary pic of me in the dark, with no makeup at all... even scarier)

I think I can pull it off, don't you? At least I won't have to wear heels during the party. I was Elvira last year, the heels are a pain on hardwood floors.
