Top Five Song Lyrics of 2007
I did this two years ago--you know, back when I actually posted things to my blog--and I figured I'd do it again for '07(ish). "I wouldn't trade one stupid decision for another five years of life." "Hey! You! Stop kicking my legs! I'm doing my best. Could you pass the figs?" "Why do I get the feeling it's time to go? You got mirrors on the ceiling. You're serving Darjeeling in your art nouveau." "The mousy girl screams, 'Violence! Violence!'" "I'm gonna rock your body 'til Canada Day." If you know all five songs without googling, you should really stop reading my mind. Or at least skip to the better parts which start around page 256. Labels: music July 27, 2007
New Travis Morrison!
YAY! and almost sort of just in time for my birthday. I've heard many of these songs over the last few years at different shows and they're really impressive. I can't wait to snag this album. Also, the new Stars and Spoon albums are very good. In case you're wondering. Labels: music June 01, 2007
Listen Up!
 Beth Ditto, you're my hero. If you haven't already done so, get yourself some of The Gossip's music. And if you're really looking for a treat, get yourself the MSTRKRFT remix. Gene Frenkle would approve. Labels: music April 29, 2007

Isn't It Ironic?
It's nice and all, but I miss the triangle part from the original. Via Stereogum. Labels: music March 07, 2007
Here's to Good Friends, Tonight Is Kinda Special
"Now I notice the street lamp's humAlthough I was otherwise occupied (*cough* job interview *cough*) when tickets sold out faster than Of Montreal at an Outback Steakhouse, I was fortunate to have a good friend at the ready when The Dismemberment Plan reunion show tickets went on sale for all of five minutes. Have I ever mentioned that I'm a lucky guy? Labels: magical powers, music February 27, 2007
A Gracious Host
I spent some time in the Guest Room at Subway State recently. I'd like to thank Aaron for the opportunity, which I basically forced him into. My song choices are pretentiously obscure, extremely gay, stolen from much cooler friends, or a mixture of all of the above. Labels: music February 21, 2007
I Still Dance
I know there's an mp3 blog out there trying to teach the indie kids to dance again, but I just realized that there's an entire niche market for songs all about the sad subject of non-dancers. I've had The Rapture's "Whoo! Alright - Yeah...Uh Huh" in my head for weeks now after seeing them in Baltimore. The chorus of the song has been disputed on SongMeanings.com but goes a little something like this: People don't dance no more, (what!)Some say the next word is "diss" others think it's "piss." Either way, no one's dancing. Of course, Brandston's recent "Nobody Dances Anymore" also raised this point. Just the other day, my iTunes shuffle play revealed the Dismemberment Plan addressing non-dancers with "Do the Standing Still." I must have missed this subgenre. Are there more songs? If so, I could make a mix CD entirely of songs about people not dancing and then dance to it ironically. Perhaps Sally Struthers can start some sort of charity. "For just the price of a double latte, your contributions can teach Ian here how to shake his bony ass to the beat of the latest Clap Your Hands Say Yeah single..." Meanwhile, all the cool kids can meet me on the dancefloor. Labels: music |
