I will have you know, I have already typed up this post… but then through a stroke of bad luck my computer deleted the entire entry. I’ve basically been cursing since noon today, but have now decided to re-post. But I’ll have you know, the first entry was probably better and I am truly sorry that you my dear, dear fans will never get to see it.
First of all Tif has a blog. And you should add that to the list of blogs you check out. She’s pretty cool. She likes sushi and we are going to watch about five hundred thousand movies (give or take a couple) before the summer comes. Anyway, like I said, check it out.
I am still really ticked off that my earlier post was deleted. Grrr
Secondly I’d like to publicly announce that I have had a change of heart when it comes to the band Modest Mouse. When I was in high school somebody told me that Jeremy Beckham loved Modest Mouse. Somebody also told me that Jeremy Beckham listened to music that talks about killing babies or something. For some reason I always chose to believe that the band being referenced was in fact Modest Mouse. Which I suppose it could be, but I’ve recently re-discovered the CD Good News for People Who Hate Bad News, and it is good my friends. So. Good.
I’ll have you know that when the song “Float On” was playing on the radio I wanted to rip my hair out and scratch my eyes until they bled. That song can now be found on my myspace. I feel a little bit of shame, but mostly I am filled with worry. I’m worried that in 2 or 3 years I will be writing another post about some band that I currently hate right now. If I end up writing a post about how I love My Chemical Romance, The Killers, or Fallout boy I may end up hanging myself. Just sayin.
Anyway, You should check out the CD, Its pretty good especially if you are in a bad mood and looking for something to identify with. It is a much healthier alternative to tagalong ice cream, and its more fiscally responsible than going on a shopping spree that you can’t afford. Anyways I’ll put some excerpts from a couple songs at the end of this post.
Have a good’un
(From Ocean Breathes Salty)
The ocean breathes salty, won’t you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
The more we move ahead the more we’re stuck in rewind.
Well I don’t mind. I don’t mind. How the hell could I mind?
Well that is that and this is this.
You tell me what you want and I’ll tell you what you get.
You get away from me. You get away from me.
Well that is that and this is this.
Will you tell me what you saw and I’ll tell you what you missed,
when the ocean met the sky.
You wasted life, why wouldn’t you waste the afterlife?
(The World at Large)
I like songs about drifters – books about the same.
They both seem to make me feel a little less insane.
Walked on off to another spot.
I still haven’t gotten anywhere that I want.
Did I want love? Did I need to know?
Why does it always feel like I’m caught in an undertow?
