Apropos of nothing, did you ever receive those CDs I sent? I had a lot of trouble with the bloody customs declaration, and they made me rewrite the address in all caps, so I am afraid something might have gotten screwed up. Please tell me you received them.
P.S. One of the drama teachers was flipping out over Brecht/Weill so I played her a song from Lost in the Stars and she flipped out some more and I was like YAY someone at work shares my taste in music.
Speaking of Weimarian (not sure that's a word, but we'll go with it) music, have you heard William S. Burroughs singing (well, sort of) "Ich Bin Von Kopf Bis Fuss Auf Liebe Eingestellt," the Friedrich Hollander song long-associated with Marlene Dietrich? It can be found on the album Dead City Radio, and is worth a listen. I am including it in my musical, in a sort of tango arrangement, sung by a character based on Tiresias, in a tavern called The Hanged Man. It will be very Weimarian, but in a dark sci-fi way.
Oh man, I used to have that album. It was a great album. Alas, my asshole ex decided to loan it, sans my permission, to his irresponsible friend, who then lost it. I lost the vast majority of my music collection to that ex and his junky friends. (Appropriate, I ssuppose, in the case of Burroughs.)
