thanks for not being a zombie

I've been fighting a fever all day. Not much sleep last night and many weird dreams. The last words I remember from my last dream: "orgasmic retribution fiber." I have no idea what it means, either.

And while we're on the subject of surreal wordplay, I am saddened to learn that Dave Blood, bassist for the Dead Milkmen, has commited suicide. I can't say I was ever a big fan, but the Dead Milkmen were the first band I ever interviewed back when I was a fledgling music journalist in Atlanta. Although I did a terrible job, and although they had a reputation for skewering morons, they were very kind to me, and I managed to write up an article that didn't suck too badly.

Perhaps this isn't a song Blood liked, but it's one I think of whenever I hear of another suicide.
