Just to see you

Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs round these velvet rims
And strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
Well run till we drop, baby well never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`cause baby Im just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild, girl I want to know if love is real

Beyond the palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss

The highways jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybodys out on the run tonight but there's no place left to hide
Together wendy well live with the sadness
Ill love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when were gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go and well walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us baby we were born to run

treat yourself better

'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby,
couldn't hold a candle to you



Hidden Gem: "See It My Way" by Cory Chisel. Ive loved him since Asheville when i heard "Gettin' By." This has the same spirit but the words arent as inspired in my opinion. Still worth finding and checking out.


Gold Star: "Almost Honest" by Josh Kelley. Download this. Listen to this. Weep at its beauty. Send me a thank you note with large sums of cash enclosed as compensation for the emotionally charged musical gift. Repeat.

Hidden Gem : "Blue Eyes" by Cary Brothers


Best Lyrics of the day: "I Can Make You Feel It" by Home Video.

She said she doesn't like it here, left everything back home
She was lost and bitter, broken and alone
She said she drinks too much, to make the nights go by
She was barely conscious, breathing through a straw
She held my hand and kissed my lips
She begged me to help her feel
And I said
I can make you feel it

She said she was a person before they brought her down
She was better than this dark relentless town
She had another lover who kept her in a cage
She had sold her future and buried who she was
And I said
I can make you feel it

Oh to touch the people, to really feel them

I can make you feel it



Redemption award: "Half Of My Heart" by John Mayer & Taylor Swift. I kind of hated this song when i first heard Mayer's new album. But today, today i kind of like it. A lot. Well done John. Redeemed.


90's tune of the day: "If You Could Only See" by Tonic


Totally random unrelated news update: I just found out through wikipedia that Jamie Lee Curtis is Jake Gyllenhaal's godmother. RANDOM. And fantastic. Because it means when i finally chase down Jake and marry him Jamie Lee will be my Fairy Godmother-in-law. Win.

future hubby

future fairy godmother


Gold Star: "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand. I love this whole ablum. Itll be a classic favorite of mine forever.

Pre indoor plumbing award: "Jack and Jill" by Kim Richey. This one is sweet. Hear it here.

Seriously Guys? award: "Muskrat Love" by America. Okay.... hang on.... MUSKRATS? really? wow. ive always hated this song because its about FUCKING MUSKRATS, but thought it might be a metaphor or have a fun back story. I googled it. i wiki-ed it. it doesnt. It really is a song about two muskrats in love. Stupid... so stupid...

"Muskrat, muskrat candlelight (what exactly is muskrat candlelight?)
Doin' the town and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam (Sam as in Samantha? nice.)
Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land
And they shimmy
And Sammy's so skinny (anerexia is nothing to joke about America. come on)

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango (Jango Fett, bounty hunter featured in Star Wars: Episode II and father of Boba Fett??)
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love

Nibbling on bacon, chewin' on cheese (high cholesterol. very unhealthy. But Sam's just gonna puke it up later)
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be my missus?" (they must live in CT, MA, VT, NH, or IO)
And she say yes
With her kisses

And now he's ticklin' her fancy (dirty)
Rubbin' her toes (kinky)
Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes (freaky)
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle (this is wildly inappropriate and disturbing)

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Singin' and jingin' the jango
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like muskrat love"
(im angry)

yeah, i posted the entire song. just because i needed you to see what i mean when i ask WHAT THE FUCK America?? Wtf.


My heart's theme song of the day: "Criminal" by Fiona Apple. So as i was typing this post i started to realize how badass a name like "Fiona Apple" is. I decided it couldnt be real. Turns out i was half right - her full name is Fiona Apple McAfee Maggart. It was a good call to drop the Maggart, but she could have had fun with McAfee. Like, Fiona Apple-Mac, or Mac Mamma Apple, or any combination of Apple and Mac. I think she really missed out on possible Apple Computer endorsements. Anyway, the song is breathtakingly honest. Lyrics here.


Turn it up (to drown out my attempts at Dion greatness) song of the day: "Taking Chances" by Glee. I had never really listened to the Celine Dion version of this song. When i heard Lea Michelle do it on Glee i fell in love. I already wanted to bone Rachel, but this song sealed the deal. Mmmm. MMMM.

Berry-licious


Gold Star: "The Two Of Us" by 'N Sync. I love the whole Celebrity ablum, but this might be one of my top 4 tracks from it. It is so effing cute!!! Plus it has amazing vocals and a phat beat. Check it. (right click and chose "save target as" or "download linked file")

"Girl when we started baby we were friends
But that's not how this fairy tale is gonna end
See I was thinking then it clicked one day
That no one else has ever made me feel this way
The next time I saw you girl I knew I had to try
To tell you everything that I was feeling deep inside
And listen good cause what I say is from my heart
So if you're ready"


read the rest here.


Bionic Man gone wrong award: "Heart Of Glass" by Blondie. Okay so im not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but one day while jamming to this Mia Nicole Taylor and i realized we had NO FUCKING CLUE what the lyrics were (sans "Heart of Glass"). We thought about looking it up but realized it was more fun that way. So every time i hear the chorus i sing something like "Somme sah roe, melet roe be gad.... sum cho nah.... my heart of glass" Im pretty sure its pretty accurate.

SEXY.

Epilepsy anthem: "Shakin'" by Rooney. I love that this song references The Neverending Story (cuz im a book geek like that) with its line:

This was so because I watched all day
The neverending story with atreyu


I cant decide if this is hilarious or really really stupid.


Reminded me to take my vitamins this morning song of the day: "We Are All On Drugs" by Weezer. How fun that this is on the playlist the same day as "Cocaine Blues" by Bob Dylan? Clever iTunes, very clever.


Stupid...just stupid award: "Lady" by Kenny Rogers. This song is ridiculous. So while i was listening to it i found myself picturing a montage of lady and the tramp clips to this song. Stupid right? No one would ever waste their time to do that right? WRONG.




Refurbished Gem of the day: "She Be The One" by Enrique Iglesias. I forgot how good this song is! i loved this CD in junior high so its been a while. But i gave this track 5 stars today in my library, so it made quite an impact. Download it here, i dont think you will be disappointed.
http://home.comcast.net/~rrsol23/09%20She%20Be%20the%20One.mp3


Gold Star: "Look What You've Done" by JET. This is a gorgeous ballad. I love bands that can rock hard, like JET, but then pump out some serious slow love songs. This is a favorite.

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to do

Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose


see why? download it for a cathartic cry.


Six degrees of AWESOME award: "Handle With Care" by Jenny Lewis, Conor Oberst, and Ben Gibbard. Okay so here's the breakdown. Jenny Lewis is the lead singer of Rilo Kiley (a band i LOVE). She had some solo stuff in 2004, and did some songs with Conor Oberst of the band Bright Eyes (LOVE). Ben Gibbard is the lead singer of Death Cab for Cutie (LOVE). Ben is also the lead singer for The Postal Service (LOVE), a band that featured Jenny Lewis on vocals on the 2003 album "Give Up." So thats how they all know each other. Then they got together to do a cover of "Handle With Care" by the Traveling Wilburys, a super group made up of Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, and George Harrison. Um can we all just pause and reflect on the amount of amazing bands and musicians involved in this production. How does this amazing stuff happen??

Hidden Gem: "The Cold, the Dark & the Silence" by Sea Wolf. Amazing. You need to hear this.


Please don't lie, don't lie to me
that you're not afraid, my love.
I know you well enough to know
you can't be alone.

If you were to roll, to roll down your window
you'd find the wind, the ice, the trees
that sway like skeletons outside.

But when the cold, the dark, and the silence come
it's like a sudden rush of water through your heart and lungs.



Golden oldie song of the day: "Mr.Sandman" by The Chordettes. Ahhh! i love it! its such a classic. Great 3 part female harmony. Fun concept. Im into it. I actually was 1/3 of a trio of girls who sang this in my junior high choir's christmas concert. Yeah. I know you already read about it on my IMDB page but i was just reminding you.


Statutory award: "Barely Legal" by The Strokes. I love this whole CD. The title reminds me that in 9 days i turn 21. WTF? It seems like just yesterday i was embedding music videos from HSM, Good Burger, and Doug into my blog. Oh wait...


Beautiful in every way song of the day: "Delicate" by Damien Rice. The guitar, the strings, the lyrics, the vocals, the meaning. Beautiful.

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known?
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you?
Why do you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why do you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known?
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you?
Why do you sing with me at all?



Annoying TV Show theme song award: "I'll Be There For You" by The Rembrandts. OH EM GEE! Its the theme song for Friends! That show about a group of friends! Hahaha! YAY! lets be unrealistically attractive and witty and typecasted and go dance around in fountains. YAY. fun. blaaaah.


Pregaming song of the day: "After Midnight" by Eric Clapton. I used to play this song as i was getting ready to go out in culinary school. I was such a hippie. Who else gets ready for parties to Eric Clapton?



More to come tomorrow.

Gold Star: "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.



Nickelodeon Award: "Killer Tofu" by The Beets. Who doesnt love "The Beets," a spoof band from the hit kid's show Doug? Check out the song here. And for something even more amazing, i give you....


Fucking GUITAR HERO. I love people.


Inappropriate song for a gambling addiction hot line commercial: "Bet On It" by Troy. Okay so confession time - i love this song (shocking). My sister and i found this spoof and its totally ruined the seriousness of the scene for me. Enjoy:
