did I mention the slipstream?

Does anyone have a studio recording of Glen Hansard's "Astral Weeks"? (Or a live version, or... anything, really.)

Thanks!

And while we're at it I'd love the Frames' studio recording of "Lay Me Down."

THANK YOU twentyfivepast and walkingshadow and fourteenlines and the rest of all y'all!

In other unrelated news, Greg House shows up in my dreams a disproportionate amount of the time, in a capacity I'd rather not psychoanalyze too hard because it falls in that father-figure/sex-object blur that's too creepy to scrutinize.

But! Out of the corner of my eye walking past some sort of television I caught a glimpse of this week's trailer, RSL coming back for the funeral of House's dad and... "find out the secret House has kept for forty years!"

And last night I dreamed the so-called secret, such as it was. Does that merit a spoiler cut? I vote that my dreams aren't necessarily jacked in to Doris Egan's brain, and therefore don't count as spoilers, to wit, to woo:

Little Greg was supposed to be born with birth defects; the doctor gave him a short life expectancy which he defied, grew up relatively normal and healthy and to his parents was considered somewhat of a miracle...

Five or six years later Mama House got pregnant with her second kid, a girl. Doctors also thought she had a high risk for birth defects.

Young Greg, narcissist that he already was and desperate for his mother's affection, young Greg also already a pragmatist and not wanting his family to have to bear the burden of a troubled kid, poisoned his mom and killed the unborn girl, forced a miscarriage.

Mom was left unable to bear children; Greg got to be an only child, no one had to suffer through raising a sick kid.

Dad figured it out years later, or asked Greg, or didn't. Mom just knew she'd had a miscarriage and it would never have crossed her mind that her six year old genius had anything to do with it...

[This dream brought to you by a week of marathoning Criminal Minds before bed; thank you thassalia...]

Anyway, I think we get this show on Tuesdays this year; I'll get it on the DL on Wed or later and we'll see what's what. But today it just looks like my subconscious is sick, sick, sick...

Um. "Astral Weeks"? Yeah, that.

Oh, and happy Ten-Thirteen to those who celebrate. *g*
