I know there are a few of you on here who haven't and we need to change that.
We can have a Lava Toad appreciation party here sometime and burn ourselves with hot red wax and eat toad legs while listening to their tunes.
Then you'll all want a cd of your very own! I can guaranteeeeee it!

Re: So who HASN'T heard Lava Toad yet?
Thu, February 17, 2005 - 11:38 PMThanks, Holly! Yeah, I've actually been surprised to write to some of the members of this tribe and find out they hadn't heard us. I'm all, "Whoa, thank you SO much for liking our music--will you be my friend?" and they're all, "Who ARE you? I only joined because Holly threatened to burn me with hot red wax and force-feed me a toad."
So, really--do please get to know us. And, whatever you do, DON'T start by reading the "Southbound" thread. I got WAY too excited about grammar on that one, and that is SO not the image I want to project. When Chris and Holly and Ben first met us, we e-mailed each other every day for months before Ben admitted that he had always assumed we were heroin addicts and--
Crap--I'm ruining it again. We ARE heroin addicts! And we live in a . . . huge abandoned warehouse with modern art painted on the walls, and we pay our rent with the sales of stolen jewelry and Christian Dior sunglasses, and we sleep all day and party all night!
OK, only two of those things are true. (Well, maybe 1 1/2. It depends on whether you think of studying musical scores and proofreading as partying.) -

You know what I'm going to say, don't you? -

Sigh.
Fri, February 18, 2005 - 12:22 AMLet me guess: "What are you saying, Megan? That it depends on whether you think of studying musical scores and STUDYING proofreading as partying?"
I HOPE that's not what you were going to say. I HOPE you were going to say, "What other kind of partying IS there?" (Or maybe, "WHICH other kind is there?") -

Fri, February 18, 2005 - 12:29 AMlol, no more grammar flogging!
I was going to say,
"just add callahan."

LOL indeed!
Fri, February 18, 2005 - 1:00 AMPhew! I'm so glad we're over the grammar thing. I thought you were trying to make me think there was a REASON I wasn't succeeding as an editor--that it WASN'T just my lack of advertising--and I was about to spend the whole night crying my eyes out. Glad that's not the case.
But, wait a minute--what do you mean by "Just add Callahan"? That even if we WERE studying musical scores and proofreading, just having Callahan there would make it into a party? Or did you mean to say, "Just ASK Callahan," meaning that HE would call that a party, too? Just curious.

Re: So who HASN'T heard Lava Toad yet?
Fri, February 18, 2005 - 12:22 PMUmm, sometimes studying musical scores is better than partying. But to be honest, I'm much more into theory than analysis. Music history is still my favorite, though. Okay, /geeking. -

Re: So who HASN'T heard Lava Toad yet?
Sat, February 19, 2005 - 1:01 AMOK, OK, I'll just come out with it. Chris spends all day studying, composing, listening to, or playing classical music--and by studying, I mean theory AND analysis--but mostly for the purpose of learning composition techniques and stealing them (but not in the plagiaristic way that Danny Elfman steals from Nino Rota and Bernard Herman, or that Andrew Lloyd Weber steals from Stravinsky--that's just stealing SURFACE material, like melodies, rather than the ideas beneath them, to use Chris's words). I spend all day . . . I don't even want to think about it. Neither one of us ever parties in a way that any normal person would think of as partying. True, we are pretty much always high on prescription drugs (sometimes other people's prescriptions), but only high enough to function like normal people. And by normal I merely mean non-suicidal. -
