For some reason Freerecorder isn't capturing this.  George?

Got it. :)

I'm up, I'm up.  Overslept, and now I must go do an annoying errand.  I don't think I care to drive out to Valencia, however, and will have them come here.

Hmm... I keep "forgetting" that my computer's clock is still on NYC/East Coast/Eastern Standard time... And the clock radio a few feet from me is on LA/Pacific time... So...

I guess what I'm trying to say is.... Well...

I'm not really sure... ???

Right this very moment, I should be getting ready to leave for work, so that's what I need to do.  Until later!

I seem to remember reading somewhere that one [or more?] of the songs in Ilya Darling was actually written by Mr. Sondheim.  Does anyone know if this is really true?

It's a .wma file, so I think it's fairly small to begin with.  I'm at work now, so I can't see what size it is...and I can't download it here at work. :P I think I can just e-mail it to you when I get home tonight, if you can wait.

If you send it to me, I can convert it to MP3, George.  I wonder why Freerecorder wouldn't do this for me--maybe it's a Vista thing.  It's worked perfectly on every other application I've used it for.

Okay...but I can't until I get home later, tonight.  Not so later tonight, the family is all going to the Red Wind casino for the seafood (and other kinds of food) buffet.  My niece's birthday was three weeks ago and at the casino, you can get a free meal within a month of your birthday, so we're all going and two of us will eat for free. :) Anyway, we're meeting at 5:30, so it won't be incredibly late.

Our LA Times review - pretty good - no real obvious pull quotes, unless one of you can figure out what they are:

Science doesn't get much more fictionalized than in the silly sci-fi musical "The Brain From Planet X."

A mutation of such movies as "The Brain From Planet Arous" and "Plan Nine From Outer Space," the show spins a comic tale of space aliens who choose the 1950s San Fernando Valley as the launching point for their takeover of Earth. Introduced at Los Angeles City College in 2006, the show returns, with some interim tweaking, at the Chance Theater, as an early event in the two-month Festival of New American Musicals.

Much of the fun of David Wechter and Bruce Kimmel's show, as staged by Kimmel, is its low-tech re-creation of low-tech B movies. Some gags are slap-on-the-forehead obvious, such as the alien spacecraft constructed of taped-together pie tins hanging from a stick. Others are guffaw-inducingly unexpected.

Man-of-many-faces Michael Irish provides Rod Serling-like setup; Mark Rothman, outfitted with a bouffant-size brain, is a Mel Brooks of a space villain who's saddled with squabbling henchmen Emily Clark (in intergalactic glamazon mode) and Daniel Berlin (how does he sustain that helium voice?). Allison Appleby and Bob Simpson, as unsuspecting Valley householders, imitate such TV moms and pops as the Stones and the Andersons. The cast of 15 is supported by a keyboard-percussion-reeds trio.

The music and lyrics, mostly by Kimmel, are pastiches, at their cleverest when they nod toward shows you'd little suspect ("42nd Street"? "Company," for goodness sake?). Overall, there's so much copying going on that audiences can make a virtual trivia game out of identifying the sources.

One could call the show derivative, meaning it as a put-down, but "The Brain" would just take it as a compliment.
