...U.S.A. Painfully elegant silver lame stiletto mule with chinchilla trim by Manolo Blahnik...
...Everything about this production flows together as mellifluously as its singing and dancing; from the winsome one-liners and funny accents (Hungarian, British, and good ole'American Southern), to the costumes (ranging from floor-length gold lamE ball gowns to leather fringe vests with cowboy hats to Vegas-style showgirl getups complete with gold-and-purple accented capes), Crazy for You is a rare production that leaves the audience with a smile plastered on its face, humming the tunes and tapping its feet as it boisterously exits the theater. And let's not forget that well-deserved standing ovation...

I got into Detroit techno, especially early Detroit techno, Chicago house, and then I think it got a bit lame, it got a bit boring, and it got a bit obvious, and that's when I started going back to guitar-based stuff and Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth... Sonic Youth--awesome...
