Music makes the days seem shorter

From Burned By The Sun: Franz Ferdinand To Play [Weird] Sisters In Next 'Harry Potter' Flick

I may die of happiness if this turns out to be true. I've been listening to their first album for nigh on six months now, and it just keeps getting better and better -- tight, solid rock music with a beat you can dance to. On Saturday, I played it in my car on the way to the movie, and we cranked up the bass on "Take Me Out" and seat-boogied like mad as the rain poured down.

I have friends who make music, too. It's strange. Especially since they're all supertalented at it. Hollywood Trash has a show at The Gig tomorrow, and my friend Maureen is at Genghis Cohen on Sunday...

And tonight there's kareoke. Music can't always be a spectator sport, after all.
