I LOVE that fucking tune. I can't recall the Our Father they made mem memorize as a kid, or my mom's birthday, but I got the the Thin Ice dedicated to memory...
BTW, DO NOT listen to "Reign in Blood" as you walk through the subway into work. Sets a bad tone for the first meeting of the day... contempt for humainty and all that...

My job will be complete here when people start quoting Belle & Sebastian. "She had a stroke at the age of 24/It could have been a brilliant career." What's twee-er than that?
Speaking of B&S, I strongly applaud their recent decision to end the main part of their sets lately with "Sleep the Clock Around" (also from 'The Boy with the Arab Strap'). It is a fantastic live song, starting simple and adding pieces (synth, horns, and then strings) as the song goes. With the LA Philharmonic, it was almost a religious experience.
