I love this song partially because im connecting my own life to the lyrics song of the day: "I Don't Think So" by Priscilla Ahn. We all do it. That song that you KNOW probably isnt meant in the way you take it, but you take it that way anyway cuz it reminds you of your life and situation. This one reminds me of December...

I think I should go
I can feel your eyes look at me and the door
Oh, I can take a hint
Oh, I can take a clue
You're giving me the go, sir
You're giving me the boot.

And I've been really too nice, I know
You probably thought that we were just a show
But you left me utterly confused
I am not here for you to use.
So you better listen up,
You better listenclose
I don't think so

AAAANNNND done with the being emo. Next....

Gold Star: "April Come She Will" by Simon & Garfunkel. Did i mention how i feel about these two? If i had 3 wishes, one of them would be to have the 1965 versions of Paul and Art follow me around singing music to fit my life. My life soundtrack, at my command, sung in perfect harmony. How fantastic would that be???

She is walking, into the gas station
Now she is ordering an MTO
Now make it to order, but order not too hasty
Make sure its tasty
And dont forget the mayo

Anyway, this song is less than 2 minutes and tells a relatable story of the beginnings and ends of a relationship. Once again, total projection. Its just vague enough that it could be youre life too.

Summary of the song "Take Me on the Floor" by The Veronicas: Im out clubbing and wanna find a really hot stranger that i can dance dirty with and make out with. So lets get wasted and find a one night stand. Now THAT is a song i can get down with! haah. No but really, i do love this song. Its my inner "trashy skimpy top wearing pill popping lagoona beach watching spoiled rich girl form the west coast" 's theme song. Like Oh Em Gee! Imma go tweet and txt my besties...

Shockingly Good lyrics award: "Ain't It Heavy" by Melissa Etheridge. I resist liking her because of the cliche, and also because she can be kind of lame sometimes. Im sorry, but its true. I wish all her stuff sounded like "Come to my window" and "Im the Only One," but it doesnt. So im sad. But these lyrics stood out to me today:

I'm feelin' kinda loose I'm feelin' kinda mean
I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned seventeen
Or is it madness
Tell me where can a woman find any kind of peace
When does the fury and the agony cease
How long have I got to say please
There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade
I've been ripping out seams
Somebody else made tonight

Heavy
Ain't it heavy
Ain't the night heavy

She did good, right? A+ miss etheridge, A+.

Weird that they are on the same day songs of the day: "Come Together" by John Butler Trio and "Come Together" by Aerosmith. Now, if Joe Crocker's version and the original by The Beatles were on here i would probably just quit life. But i can handle a sweet coincidence every now and then

Hidden Gem: "Out Loud" by Dispatch. Ian has hooked me UP with some great stuff! This is from one of 7 CDs he made me when my laptop got stolen and i lost all my music. He is a sweetheart. I never paid attention to how beautiful this one is (right click and chose "save target as" or "download liked file" to download). It makes me think of Lost and Delirious. Anyone? Anyone? I see Dubs has her hand up, and so does Karen. Anyone else? sigh. its okay, its a Piper Perabo thing.

I suppose I would…
And if we were walkin down a dead-end street
Would you be the one to let our eyes meet?
Or would you just keep on walking down to the turnaround?
Cause you know I would be proud
If you'd call my name out loud
If you'd call my name out loud
Do you suppose that I would come running?

Do you supposed I'd come at all?
I suppose I would…




Make me smile song of the day: "Halo/ Walking on Sunshine" by Glee: I FUCKING LOVE GLEE!!! this was from the episode where they did the mash-ups. i couldn't believe how well these two songs worked together. Check it out.


Horrific cover of the day: "Cell Block Tango (He Had It Comin')" by Queen Latifah feat. Lil' Kim and Macy Gray. A lyric from this version?

Cuz i look real cute in orange jump suits

NOT OKAY. This is just.... like... MACY GRAY? im done. Im really happy i am only experiencing this pain in one ear. Yay for protective ear infections.

Almost Gold Star: "Like A Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan. My friend DaVita just told me that Dylan wrote this song about Edie Sedgwick. I think it makes a lot of sense, if you know the Sedgwick/Dylan/Warhol back story (check out the movie "Factory Girl" sometime if you dont). I also found this online, so you know it has to be true:

The title is not a reference to The Rolling Stones. It is taken from the phrase "A rolling stone gathers no moss." Dylan got the idea from the Hank Williams song "Lost Highway," which contains the line, "I'm a rolling stone, I'm alone and lost."

Good to know. I love Dylan, but not as much as my numero uno Ash. But i am usually down for a Dylan marathon now and then.

Hot girl in the video song of the day: "American Woman" by Lenny Kravitz. HEATHER FUCKING GRAHAM:



People ask when i knew i was attracted to women. I was 10 when this video came out. I was obsessed and didnt understand why. Question ANSWERED. Damn girl....

Dubs Award: "Country Grammar" by Nelly. This is my ringtone for when she calls my cell. Basically because she is so gangsta. Also because they say Dubs twice in the first verse. I was trying to memorize this song last summer (cuz im a cool kid) and have the chorus and 1st verse DOWN. I know most of the 2nd and 3rd, but he says the n-word like 23 times. So i decided i should stop rapping that part. Here's the first (and best) verse:

Mmmmm, You Can Find Me, In St. Louis Rollin On Dubs
Smokin On Dubs In Clubs, Blowin Up Like Cocoa Puffs
Sippin Bud, Gettin Perved And Getting Dubbed
Daps And Hugs, Mean Mugs And Shoulder Shrugs
And It's All Because, 'Ccumulated Enough Stretch
Just To Navigate It, Wood Decorated On Chrome
And It's Candy Painted, Fans Fainted - While I'm Entertainin
Wild Ain't It? How Me And Money End Up Hangin
I Hang With Hannibal Lector (HOT SHIT!) So Feel Me When I Bring It
Sing It Loud (What?) I'm From The Lou' And I'm Proud
Run A Mile - For The Cause, I'm Righteous Above The Law
Playa My Style's Raw, I'm "Born To Mack" Like Todd Shaw
Forget The Fame, And The Glamour
Give Me D's Wit A Rubber Hammer
My Grammar Be's Ebonics, Gin Tonic And Chronic
Fuck Bionic It's Ironic, Slammin Niggaz Like Onyx
Lunatics Til The Day I Die
I Run More Game Than The Bulls And Sonics

I can rap that. The whole thing. From memory. A Cappella. Right now. Yeah, dont try and hide it, i know you're impressed :)

More to come tomorrow.
