About the music, I wanted to give Spike an aesthetic reason to turn to punk, which I remember as being partially a reaction to the (seemingly) endless guitar solo. Having watched Hendrix essentially from beginning to end would certainly be reason enough to say "heard it", and be ready to move on. I imagine him getting really excited by jazz and that rockin' early rhythm and blues, as well. He's a guy who likes innovation and really expressive art, in my book.
As I was discussing with snickfic in another thread, how I go about capturing that casually bloodthirsty air (great description!) is to make the slaughter incidental to their other activities. No more important to the story than grabbing lunch would be for anybody else, in most cases. In over a hundred years of existence, there had to be plenty of things more memorable than what you had for dinner, right? Of course, there is the occasional really special *cough*slayer*cough* repast, and those are worth mentioning, as well.
Anyway, thanks for commenting, and I'm so glad you approve.
