'Destiny'
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.
We could probably get Butch but not Willie.
I just listened to Joe Ely's "West Texas Waltz", which is just about my favorite song these days. Love that lap steel! And that accordion! I met a young cow dog/And I told him how now, dog/You're a borderline collie/And I'm a borderline fool
Hmmmm. I really should've done that Doctor's Mob piece, huh?
Damn, that was a great debut album. I saw them at the Rat once, too.
Non sequiter (sequitor?) time!
You know what song I really love? "Overjoyed" by Stevie Wonder. That is all. Carry on!
There's a place here that taxidermies mice and puts them in little costumes
Also known as "That place Jilli is going to spend a lot of money at".
Other Bay-ista bands: Christian Death, Faith and the Muse, Switchblade Symphony, and Malign.
Package arrived! Hayden and the USPS are both off the hook. I'll try to turn these over quick, tina.
I have no particular hate on for "We Built This City". In fact, I think it's cute. There are certainly a HELL of a lot of songs I would put above it for "worst song ever". A LOT.
I'll try to turn these over quick, tina.
No worries sir. I am off for the next five days exploring the woods of central Missouri (translation: sitting in lawn chair in cheap off-the-highway campsite drinking too much Miller product).
I am making two mixes for the trip as I type. One is "spunky" - I have named it Shaken. One is "mellow" - it shall be called Stirred. They have many many songs from Buffista mixes sent to me thus far. I and my fellow campers send thanks.
And I gave a vampire mouse to SA two Xmases ago (?) for the Buffista swap!
I love that mouse so much, but it freaked my friends out sooooooo much. I had to put it in my trunk, though, because it was in danger of getting damaged, and then we got a cat. Which would be bad.
"We Built This City"
Is inexorably linked in my memory with working slooooooooooooow Sunday afternoons at Dunkin' Donuts back in high school. I hear it and get kind of nauseous (too much sugar, relentless coffee, and slightly off creamer smells) and really, really, really bored.
I'm going to see Sleater-Kinney tonight (for free, yay, here's to knowing people and stuff). This band Thermal from Portland, I think, are opening. Anybody know them?
The Thermals. On Sub Pop. They do one song I like that sounds kinda like GBV. The other stuff is more rock/less pop, but I can't remember for sure.
