Boiled in Lead (http://www.omnium.com/bil/)is a Trad-rock band, based out of Minneapolis. It's Irish folk + rock, like Flogging Molly, only less punk.

Blues can be Delta-style, acoustic guitar, shadowed porches in the Mississsippi sun and folk lyrics or Chicago-style, electric guitar and smoky voiced women with whiskey on the table.

I like mine gritty with city smoke and women who walk away from good men and an amplifier on the stage.

Liad is a reference to the Space Opera by Sharon Miller and Steve Lee. (http://www.korval.com/liad.htm)

The ten of cups is emotional (cups) fulfillment (tens). I'm not Slytherin; I've no interest in leading the world, nor am I Gryffindor, looking to save it. Joy is not measured in dollars, nor comfort in the envy of others. I'm content with my own hearth, warm bread from the oven, pets underfoot, a happy healthy child, and the wolf far from my door. That's what I'm working toward, not my salary or fame.

Red Dwarf (http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/) is a BBC science fiction show. Goofy and silly and fun.

The Flash Girls (http://www.last.fm/music/The+Flash+Girls) are also Minneapolis and Irish, but less rock and more folksy and and they've actually split to do other things. [livejournal.com profile] coffeem aka Emma Bull, the writer of War for the Oaks, is one half of the duo.

twh_attendee is, um, actually left over from The Witching Hour (http://jenna-thorn.livejournal.com/2005/10/13/) Harry Potter convention/symposium in Salem in 2005.
