why did anyone put it on?

Meat Loaf "I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" ON ACID.

When I was 18, i was fucking my girlfriend in her car, and she had on what was at the time, the best radio station in town.

Unfortunately, Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something came on, and she reached behind her to turn it up and started talking about how much she loved that song.

And that's when i began to fear that someday, she was gonna kick my ass and stomp all over my heart. And she did.

my second girlfriend had THE worst taste in music.it was all bad but she had a million albums by some lesbian singer named chris somebody or other. williams? i can't remember but there was even a christmas album. it made me want to cut myself to dull the pain.

and i have that cher album:
"baby save up all your tears....."
love it.

but then i also have the best of donna summer.

You're not allowed to put those on when I turn you to the dark side.

don't worry. they're definitely a private pleasure.

hijack: have a good curry recipe you can throw my way?
i'm really in the mood.

Chris Williamson, ayah. My college metal head friend and I nearly got into a fistfight when I guested his show one time and played Williamson and Dobkin tunes between Exodus and Pantera ones.

But it was funny at the time.

Vegetable, meat... be specific and I'll hook you up right here.

I think the worst I ever tolerated was the weekend listening to the likes of Alabama's Greatest Hits and New Edition on a trip with a lady who looked like the blonde chick from the Too Close For Comfort TV series. It was worth it, even though she moved away about three weeks later.

Beef Curry with Basmati Rice

For Curry:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced ginger
10 black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
8 cloves
Pinch of nutmeg
1 cinnamon stick
5 small cardamom pods
2 tablespoons ground almonds
1 pound top sirloin, cubed
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground fennel seeds
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plain yogurt

For Rice:
2 cups basmati rice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

For Raita:
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cucumber, grated
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of ground coriander seeds (optional)
1 or 2 fresh cilantro sprigs, for raita garnish

sprigs of fresh cilantro, for garnish
1/2 cup mango or other fruit chutney

RECIPE METHOD

CURRY: Heat the oil in a large saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until light brown. Lower the heat to medium and add the ginger, peppercorns, bay leaves, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, and almonds, and continue to sauté for 1 minute. Add the cubed sirloin, chile powder, turmeric, fennel, cumin, coriander, and salt, and sauté, while stirring, for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is dry. Turn the heat to medium-low, stir in the yogurt, and sauté gently until the mixture becomes dry again. Add 1 cup of water, cover the pan, and cook over low heat for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the meat is tender.

RICE: While the curry is cooking, prepare the rice and raita. Soak the rice in cold water for 10 minutes. Using a strainer, drain the rice and rinse under cold running water until the water no longer looks milky. Place the rice in a saucepan with 4 cups of cold water, the salt and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer, stir briefly, and partially cover the pan. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the water is absorbed; do not stir the rice while it is cooking. Keep warm and fluff with a fork just before serving.

RAITA: Place the yogurt in a mixing bowl and add the grated cucumber, pepper, coriander and a pinch of salt. Mix well and chill in the refrigerator. Garnish with the cilantro just before serving.

SERVE: Place a mound of rice on each warm serving plate and spoon the curry next to or over it. Garnish the curry with a cilantro sprig. Serve the raita and chutney in bowls on the side.
