Random music joy

New Finn Brothers album out today!!!

klia, feochadn -- new Finn Brothers! I hadn't planned on buying anything new CD-wise for a while, but I make an exception for anything Finnish. The song I heard on new music Tuesday show was really nice, bore traces of both Neil and Tim's styles. I hadn't even known they were working on anything, but the woman who does the new music show was cracking me up by talking about how people just spazz out whenever anything happens with either of the Finns. (They are going to be in town end of July, btw.) She included herself in that group, of course -- how could anyone with taste *not*?

O frabjous day, new Finns, callooh, callay!

ETA -- not such a frabjous day after all. Apparently the station neglected to say it was a single. I can't find any other release date for the album from either Billboard or Nettwerk than end of August. Stupid station. Grrrrr.

Story pimpage

My girl Kalima, lordshiva on LJ, is writing a wonderful new novel called Time Travel for Pedestrians. So far there is wonderful Spike and wonderful Buffy, wonderful Dawn, and lovely Tara and lovely Willow, and cool original characters. This is the stuff that keeps people in this fandom -- rich settings, wonderful dialog (she does the Best. Spike. Ever.), perfect characterization. Damn, I wish this had been the show we saw in S6, I might have loved it. You can find it at her memories section here.

And on a totally unrelated note -- is there any fandom at all (maybe only a really new, or really really small fandom) that doesn't have a story called Chiaroscuro? Is that THE most overused title word in all of fanfiction? It's sure starting to seem that way to me. I feel like starting a campaign -- Stop Unncessary Chiaroscuro Titling. Or SUCT for an acronym.
