Attempts repeated infinitely feel
Useless now

This is not really so good (2 Chainz ft. Drake, No Lie) but sometimes you cannot control what comes in:

Very different from Sleater-Kinney, but really damned good.

Kid came in singing the Dragon Tales theme song and now I'm lost. Oldest kid btw.

I never dreamed
I'd learn to love
The taste of bitter fictions
The ring of contradictions
That sing to me

[Phoebe]

Oh the radio gifts me with Michelle Branch!

[akiva]

It took me a long time to realize how good this album is.

To knock off one of my music blindspots, going all in on Sly & The Family Stone this week.

Volbeat - Still Counting

[Phoebe]

A penumbra...

[Ronster]

for all the Dr. Who fans who enjoy the Christmas Specials, this is from series 6 I think
Katherine Jenkins - In the Bleak Midwinter

[Phoebe]

Nice, I like it. For me today is another one of those Heathens days. I retool the lyrics to involve Me, Myself, and I as the "friends" - i.e. "them" and "us" = one person full of the crazies. I prefer to think of our narrator as having some pretty strange tests for any potential companion, and therefore no other real companions.

Combo of Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and LANE BOY! (Already posted above, love this song!)

I've been listening to A Tribe Called Quest a lot the past few weeks. "We The People", posted a while back, has a powerful chorus. "All you black folks you must go, all you mexicans you must go, all you poor folks you must go, muslims and gays, boy we hate your ways." Reminded me of this classic:



As the most popular album of the 50s, I'm amazed at the thought of millions of Americans singing along to this chorus, Soak it in and own it, own in the mistakes of the past and present. The chorus of "We the People" feels the same way.

I once tried to write a song about a Confederate soldier who about to head off to war who asks his slaves to sing him a song to make him feel better. I never got far, as it's parodying racism as a white man is a hard needle to thread (again, not as hard as racism). Maybe it'd only work the other way around. I can't say "I'm owning it" I need to be told to. Just thoughts.

I'm not sure I understand that song. The verse about Millie has me wondering. Anyway, today at the moment it's "Ride", though earlier it was that horrible Fall Out Boy song. .. not sure of title but it's constantly on radio. My kid loves it.

I'm just going to sit over here and be happy for a while:

[Phoebe]

Ah, love her! My favorite is The Moment I Said It, nice cheerful song.
