Hola!

If you haven't checked out Steve's very cool website beyond the journal, you might want to do so. His 'correspondence' project is an interesting looking open-ended collaboration, sort of an invitation for lyricists. And it includes a couple finished products (Passionate Fight, You Lie Sweetly) with a certain very prominent lyricist. The piano score of You Lie Sweetly is also there if you're into that sorta thing...

At last, an EC-vocal version of Passionate Fight, but it sounds like a practice runthrough -- nowhere near as expressive as Ute Lemper's performance of it on her Punishing Kiss album, because the overbearing piano doesn't let it breathe.

But, thanks for that.

While Ute is hard to beat. . . .Gorgeous stuff (vocals as well as piano) much thanks Comedian for directing us to it.

It's probably better suited to a woman's voice. I like the night after night after night after night bit in particular on the Ute one, and the playing from about 2.40 onwards...

The Comedian-Wonderful I love it. The piano playing is glorious, the vocals are great. A wonderful late night treat. Thank you for siting it.

Off topic:

Lapinsjolis, Mr. Misery and you both have signatures with really interesting artwork. It looks like you (or at least it looks like the slightly unfocused photos you have reluctantly posted of your face). Is it supposed to be you, or is that a coincidence? And is it your work, Mr. Misery's work, or what?

--Curious in Dallas.

I'll answer! It's Mark Ryden. Pavarotti retired today and perhaps Mr. Misery wanted to express his saddness. Really though we both love Mr. Ryden and I helped with Mr. Misery's signature. I love the far more graphic drawing that may resemble Laughing Crow attacking me! It's under Blood drawings as I can't get a direct link.

The quote is Emily Bronte and very my mood. I did a self protrait as a gift in Ryden style but it hasn't been posted nor is it worthy of Mr. Ryden. Does it clear things up or make it more confusing?

I understand. I'm not familiar with his work, but the girl in your signature (and Mr. Misery's) does look a bit like you. I think.

Hey...I don't attack ladies! Only with lurve anyway!

Really? I see a mass migration to Scotland.

I've been told I look like a Ryden before, what of Rossetti? (Sigh) I'll err on the side of a compliment.
