Odds
Other than today's Times review of the AME's Powerhouse Pianists concert, I can only report on my discovery of Marilyn Manson's brilliant and absolutely smoking cover of Soft Cell's 80's classic, Tainted Love. I'll stop myself just before I say out loud that it is better than the original (heresy!) ... so determine for yourself: splurge on the $.99 iTunes Store bill and turn the volume way up. Credit where it's due, Madam—this ear-splitting Good Time is all thanks to Better Half's recent and exhaustive design research ... apparently The Club Kids dig the Manson.

And the thing about that cover version? The video for it is HOT too. Chyler Leigh, won't you marry me?
