h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

IIEM: hot chocolate, please.

Here you go, Ændr. It's not so hard, really. Lil's been baking a bit and Joanna sends over donuts every day.

ox, I was on the e-mail list for the Starship Titanic web site. When they started developing H2G2 they sent the most hilarious e-mails about aliens trying to make sensible entries about earth. I couldn't resist checking it out when it finally went live. That's why my number is so low.

*enjoys music*

I don't know, Lintilla. Don't know that I'd hold them to that mil! Anyway, I think I'd best be on my way...I've put things on hold at home for a while and must go see what's up.

See you later!


*ingle tink*

Bye, ox! *waves*

*The man on the red-velvet-couch plays Issac Hayes classic "Shaft" movie theme song on the piano and hopes the soundtrack for the upcoming remake is half as good*

IIEM, green tea please

*pops head back in Cafe*

Witty, I can't wait for the 24-Seven to be open. Someday I may learn not to simulpost! Anyway, my RL dog needs attending to asap. Once around the block we go.

Later!

Hi, Loony; Later!

*her piano being taken, she settles down on the couch to finish her tea.*
Bye ox!!!

*pulls out a pad of paper*

Lintilla I'm a bit busy for a game at the moment. I am pleased you didn't shoot the piano player though.

*Plays Issac Hayes version of By The Time I Got To Phoenix, all 18 minutes and 40 seconds of it*

...wish the fire incident hadn't ben written down for posterity though.

*background sounds come from WM's aura*
*hey, when do ~I~ get a turn at the computer. C'mon, mom, share!*

Ummm, I gotta go for a bit. I'll try to stop back a little later. Bye Loony, Lintilla.

By The Time I Got To Phoenix. Almost all of the first half is played over a thin organ hum, and a lightly snapping hi-hat, as Hayes raps his deep-voiced monologue about "the power of love". It reaches biblical prportions - "seven times he tried to leave her, and seven times he came back!" - before he finally launches into the song itself, and the orchestra soars, and the unbearable tension of the music finally breaks.

It was schtick, it was grandiose, it was absurb - it was so cool, and it remains an epic, a really beautiful piece of music.
