I am close to being able to actually start rehearsals for Spacemen from Space and Devils -- the first should be starting on Sunday and the second on Tuesday. It's been taking forever to get these going, mainly in the casting. Also with the Wedding, we got a late start, and the time I was expecting to be spending on finishing the script for Spacemen keeps being grabbed for casting/scheduling purposes.

So I'm trying to finish that script, and writing this entry in another window during those bits when I get blocked (while in a third window, I have the DVD included in Laurie Anderson's new album Homeland playing -- I'm not sure about the album yet, only heard it once, but it's very sad, beautiful, and depressing . . . mournful . . . and I need to hear it more. I do know I like it better than her last, Life on a String, which was elegantly produced and performed and very very boring).

So, I'm just doing a Random Ten when the DVD ends, as background so I can keep writing lines for Spacemen like "Come on, Chickie, I been workin’ with you for years, and if there was a Pulitzer for 'being tied up in various stages of undress by heathen agents of an unscrupulous foreign government,' you’da been the unchallenged winner six years running!" With my luck, I'll just get into a rhythm in the scriptwriting just as I have to leave for The Brick today (I'm supervising a tech and then the Game Play cabaret this evening). Tomorrow, I don't have anything except some auditions in the late afternoon, so maybe I'll be left alone to work for most of the day.

Oh, right, I was supposed to do the press releases today, too. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

In any case, now a Random Ten for the week (with links to YouTubes of the track or something closely related). Once again, rather than break an iPod playlist I'm in the middle of enjoying, I'll grab stuff from the "Recently Acquired" playlist in the iTunes . . .

1. "Little Geisha Girl" - Hank Locklin - Trashcan 1: Exotica Special

(actually, a YouTube check shows that the song I'm hearing ISN'T Hank Locklin, who did a completely different song called "Geisha Girl," which I'm linking to - no idea who this is)

3. "You Got Me Dizzy" - Jimmy Reed - The Real Blues Brothers
4. "Tradimento" - Ennio Morricone - Allonsanfan
