song of the day: i'm straight / modern lovers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_exvKnrK6g

"I called this number three times already today
But I, I got scared, I put
It back in place, I put my phone back in place.
I still don't know if I should have called up.
Look, just tell me why don't ya if I'm out of place.
'Cause here's your chance to make me feel awkward
And wish that I had never even called up this place.
I saw you though today walk by with hippie Johnny.
I had to call up and say how I want to take his place.
So this phone call today conerns hippie Johnny.
He's always stoned, he's never straight.
I saw you today, you know, walk by with hippie Johnny.
Look, I had to call up and say, I want to take his place.
See he's stoned, hippie Johnny.
Now get this, I'm straight and I want to take his place.
Now look, I like him too, I like hippie Johnny.
But I'm straight
and I want to take his place.
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm proud to say
Well I'm straight and I want to take his place.

Now I've watched you walk around here.
I've watched you meet these
boyfriends, I know, and you tell me how they're deep.
Look but, if these guys, if they're really so great,
tell me, why can't they at least take this place
and take it straight? Why always stoned,
like hippie Johnny is?
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
Oh I'm certainly not stoned, like hippie Johnny is.
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm
I'm straight and I want to take his place."

song of the day: stockholm syndrome v. little honda / yo la tengo

http://www.last.fm/music/Yo+La+Tengo/_/Stockholm+Syndrome

[for those not-so-fresh-feeling dopamine-less hours]

What's the matter, why don't you answer
What's the matter with me?
Is it so hard to be
Free and easy, we'll disappear completely
Hardly as I've known it's glad

Your heart is broken, and the doors are open
As you're hoping to be
There's brighter places to see
Hands need warning, early in the morning
Hardly as I've known a surprise

No, don't warn me
I know it's wrong, but I swear it won't take long
And I know, you know,
It makes me sigh; but I do believe in love

Another season, but the same old feelings
Another reason could be
I'm tired of aching, summer's what you make it
But I'll believe what I want to believe

[Please let us all clear our throats!]

[for so-fresh-and-so-clean moments of exhilaration
"as crisp as a pair of white panties on a baby prostitute"]

I'm gonna wake you up early cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the Honda shop I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Get on the ride, no sweat, sure we'll take you anywhere you want me to

First gear, it's all right
Second gear, hang on tight
Third gear, ain't I right
Faster, it's all right

It's not a big motorcycle, just a groovy little motorbike
It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys, that two-wheel ride
We'll go on into the hills or anywhere you wanna decide

We'll ride some hills like a champ because my Honda's built really light
When I go into the turn, lean with me, hang on tight
I think I'll put on the lights, so I can ride mine under the night

we used to be friends, now we're just dandy

Song of the day: we used to be friends / the dandy warhols

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgrRRNwj7mU

A long time ago, we used to be friends
But I haven't thought of you lately at all
If ever again a greeting I send to you,
Short and sweet is all I intend.

It's something I said, or someone I know.
Or you called me up, maybe I wasn't home.
Now everybody needs some time,
And everybody knows
The rest of it's fine
And everybody knows that.

Come on now, sugar,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when you're good to go
Come on now, honey,
Bring it on, bring it on, yeah.
Just remember me when.

fun times, fun times

Song of the day: funtime / iggy pop

http://www.last.fm/music/Iggy+Pop/_/Funtime

Hey baby we like your lips
Hey baby we like your pants
All aboard for funtime
Hey, I feel lucky tonight
I'm gonna get stoned and run around
All aboard for a funtime
Last night I was down in the lab
Talkin' to Dracula and his crew
All aboard for funtime
I don't need no heavy trips
I just do what I want to do
All aboard for funtime

must be the fu

not what you wanted

Song of the day: Black Rebel Motocycle Club / Not What You Wanted

http://www.last.fm/music/Black+Rebel+Motorcycle+Club/_/Not+What+You+Wanted

You know you've got a lot to learn
You feel it but your heart won't burn
The fear is runnin' every nerve
You're turning to the ones you've hurt
But nothing ever satisfies
You're screaming but your tongue's still tied
You're starving but your love won't feed
And nothing ever sets you free

You know you've got a long way down
You'll feel it when you hit the ground

It's not what you wanted
It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold
Where nothing matters

Pinned inside the walls of sound
You're reaching but your hands are bound
Crying but your love's so sweet
Your singing but your heart still weeps

And no one ever seems to care
Feeling like they walk on air

It's not what you wanted
It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold
Where nothing matters

I can't wait for time to save us
And I can't break your fall forever
'Cause you always take
You always take too much
You always take
You always take too much

It's not what you wanted
It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold
Where nothing matters
It's not what you wanted

It's not what you came here for
This place just leaves you cold, where nothing matters

The Deal/The Trip
