The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
They Might Be Giants, "She's An Angel" from Severe Tire Damage (T.L.A.M.)
Commentary: Chosen in honor of last night's episode of Doctor Who, "Blink," that I watched this evening. The antagonists, murderous beasts known as the Lonely Assassins, appeared principally in the guise of stone angels, such as one finds adorning churches and graveyards. The song makes for an oblique reference, I know. Mayhap tomorrow I'll choose The Bruce Lee Band's version of "She's An Angel," just to make sure the obscure and oblique is carried to ridiculous lengths. Mayhap.
There was more here, much more, but upon further reflection it was recognized as both ill-advised and, more unforgivably, poorly written. Self-censorship is more art than it is science, and one must learn to trust one's instincts rather than rely on any strictly defined criteria. After much bitter experience and many hurt feelings, I have learned to, in most instances, heed the counsel of my instincts.
