'Harm's Way'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Huh. It works for me.

So, I got my first Message From The Ipod today. Listening on shuffle, last night I heard "All You Need is Hate" by the Delgados (thanks, erinaceous!). So I was full of hate at work all day and had the song still in my head, and then I heard it again on the way home! It must be true that all I need is hate.

Look! It's my rock band playing Rock Band!
We were surprisingly good at it! Playing at the Easy level anyway. I got 100% on "Ever Fallen in Love with Someone" and we all rocked "Sabotage."
But did you do Sabatoge ala Edith Bunker, like Conan O'Brien??

What the $#*% is a Song-Poem? Promoted through ads with headlines reading "Send in Your Poems - Make Millions Be Famous," Song-Poems are the vanity publishing side of the music recording industry. People who send in their poetry receive notice that their work is worthy of recording in exchange for the poet sending in a fee. They send the money hoping! In producing the songs, musicians record dozens of songs per recording session, most in one take.
SONG-POEMS WANTED! THE MUSICAL, features dozens of actual song poems (such as Blind Man's Penis and Aliens Stole My Dog) and it tells the stories of a song-poem composer and the everyday people who submit their poetry for "consideration." Be one of the first to see this exciting show!
