Holly Knight wrote back and thanked me for my email. :D Let me list some of her credits (solo or co-written):
Device - "Hanging on a Heart Attack"
Heart - "Never" and a bunch of others from the "Heart" album and later
Divinyls - "Pleasure and Pain"
Animotion - "Obsession"
Scandal - "The Warrior"
Tina Turner - "The Best," "Better Be Good to Me," and "One of the Living"
Lita Ford - "Stiletto"
Cheap Trick - "Space"
Pat Benetar - "Love is a Battlefield" and "Invincible"
Aerosmith - "Rag Doll"
A couple for KISS's Psycho Circus and Hot in the Shade CDs
Ozzy Osbourne - "Slow Burn"
The "Angel" TV theme (I *know* I've lamented that I wished I liked the show as much as the theme. Now it makes sense. It's like when I for some reason really really liked the Fruitopia commercials then later found out they were Kate Bush. :D)
Those are the highlights as far as the songs I know best. The whole list is here: http://www.hollyknight.com/disco.html

Weird day. Lots of things stirring up. I think I'm overtired.

I just wrote a letter to Holly Knight to thank her for being such an important part of my musical youth. <3 Holly. Songwriting royalty right there, dear readers.

I hung out with my brother tonight and played his new stand-up bass. It's really pretty and he's getting really good. I borrowed "Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk," which should be a good read. I finished "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" in about five hours over the last couple days and had to find something else. I've read just about everything I can reach in my room (the closet is packed with books and if there's some unread stuff in there it's way in the back).

I scheduled my move for the day I'm supposed to get my period. Genius. *sigh* If we'd been able to go a week earlier we might have been able to see GWAR at the House of Blues. Oh well. If I have garbage bags to hide under they're packed and I have no idea where anyway.

Still...awake....

The Chariot

Moving very soon now. I hope everything fits in the trailer, and that the tires don't shear like they did on my last long U-Haul trip (damn you, U-Haul). But as of November 7th I'll be out of the NE. The plan is to reach my apartment in Chicago on the 8th with enough daylight to unpack and get the U-Haul back to wherever it goes. I hope the cats are enjoying the freedom they have now, even if they don't have a window. Poor little guys are stuck in the basement so they don't ruin my parents' furniture. And then a cage for 2 days. Damn, they're going to hate me.

So this is written from my ad hoc computer set up and is transmitted via the wireless network I wrestled into submission. Listening to iTunes sort of song-at-a-time rather than letting it shuffle up my 4 and 5 star faves.... I was largely w/o music from the 10th to the 23rd and I missed some songs more than others.

I'm kicking ass in fantasy football. "McNabb isn't a good fantasy quarterback." \/\/hatever.

My brother and my new roommate told me that cat and dog food is grade C meat and Taco Bell is grade D meat. Is this true? wtf?

Is 1 am too late to make a pizza? *sigh*
