The best They Might Be Giants joke ever is in Terry Pratchett's "Soul Music," which features a band called We're Certainly Dwarfs.

"This doesn't sound like Music With Rocks In," said the Bursar.

"Shut up," said the Dean. He blew his nose.

It was sad music. But it waved its sadness like a battle flag. It said the universe had done all it could but you were still alive.

Terry Pratchett, Soul Music

Yep, Soul Music is still my favorite in the series. So many fantastic puns, and the way Pratchett personifies music is so true to real life. After all, music is fun, but it's a world of hertz.

Beyond that, seeing Death grieving hits a lot harder this time around, especially since I know who he's grieving for (I read this arc backwards last time too because Soul Music caught my attention before the others).

I remember Susan was a great character for teenage me, because she was a special person who wasn't like her peers, and she had powers and powerful lineage, which really appealed to a strange girl trying to figure out who she was.

(also, I know it comes up later, but is this the first instance of seeing GNU when relating to death? The Dean has "Live Fats and Die Yo Gnu" studded on his robe. Is this a coincidence, or inspiration for later works?)

Up next, moving on to Interesting Times!
