Think About Life - " Think about this song. Think about the most inappropriate timing. For someone to walk into your bedroom. And play chopsticks on a pot they used to make themselves macaroni and ketchup salad. Of a statue, of a basketball player, that gets off his podium and offers it to you. Think about running out of words, and only being allowed to scream from now on. Unintelligible, primal, screams. They would be gleeful. I know that they would. [Buy] The Sea & The Gulls - "Seagulls" The loneliest crowded beach in the world. Even when everyone starts singing in unison, folk dancing in the sand, there's not a smile in the bunch. It's still cloudy, kind of cold, the kind of weather where seagulls are really noticeable, are really more like harbingers than decoration. [Info] Posted by Dan at May 3, 2006 12:34 AMComments

Posted by dan at May 3, 2006 4:48 PMi just started leech'n off your site. your song selections are multifariously divine. thanx for expanding my fervor, or is it palate. Posted by hydrax at May 3, 2006 5:09 PMit's been awhile, but this first song is awesome. i keep thinking he's saying "THIS IS BOB DOLE!", which makes it all the more awesome, although i think it's really "this is my song".
