| song(s) of the moment 4/17/04 - i wonder why the wonders fall - andy partridge lyrics... the theme song for wonderfalls, the best show on tv since buffy. so of course it was cancelled by fox. yeah. i'm still nursing that injury. this song perfectly fit that show. it was quirky, original and just all around addictive. i've been playing it almost nonstop for the past couple days and it still makes me smile. and the video for it rocks as well. who knew caroline had such a deep voice? ;) 8/20/03 - the ataris; boys of summer lyrics... the punk remake of don henley's boys of summer. i can't decide which i like more. when the atari's version first came out i liked it but i thought don henley was by far better. but now i have the atari's version in my head, and the need to hear it isn't satiated by playing don henley's. go figure. i especially love how they end it, and that guitar riff is timeless, i really hate it when the dj's cut it off at the end. i'm so tempted to call in and demand they play it again, this time in it's entirity. to wander for a moment, i was strolling down the aisles of the new younkers, and they have the flat screen tv's hanging from the ceilings playing different music videos in different areas. well, one area began playing a dance mix of boys of summer by some girl group. i totally stood there and gawked for about five seconds, but then i decided to stop so i wouldn't draw attention to myself. i glared back at it while walking away though. it sounded terrible. and it should be criminial to make that song into a dance mix and destroy in such a way. 8/20/03 - black-eyed peas; where is the love? lyrics... well, first i'd like to rant about people who listen to this song. not all of them, but quite a few develop the misconception that this song is positive and happy. where do they get that? the song isn't called "here is the love." it's questioning whether, with all the messed up stuff going on in the world, love still exists. how is that happy? infact, i have the oppositve reaction to the song. if i listen to the words too closely, i begin to tear up, which isn't good when you're driving. what i like about it: the lyrics, justin's hook, and the emotional impact. what i don't like about it: nothing, 'cept maybe it needs to be longer, cuz i could listen to it forever. |
