Zero 7: Sounds Eclectic Too (Various)
Song: “Distractions” I wanted this song at my wedding during the pre-show music Adam played (“So go on mister, make Miss me Mrs you.”), but stee said the lyric right before that, “I can not quite, but nearly / Guarantee, a divorce,” was kind of inappropriate. Point taken. But the way that girl wails “I…

The White Stripes: Elephant
Song: “I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself” My iPod loves playing The White Stripes. No matter how random the shuffle, there will be a White Stripes song in there, so I’m glad I like all of their songs. I have ten Beatles albums, six or so Radiohead albums, all the Weezer, but…

Beatles: Help!
Song: “You Like Me Too Much” In the Stones/Beatles debate, if you even say the word “Stones,” you go down so many notches in my book. So many notches. It’s similar to the Violent Femmes/They Might Be Giants debate, but I let the TMBG fans have a little more credit, because I have way too…

The Cure: Disintegration
Song: “Love Song” The sound of The Cure reminds me of my first year I moved to Houston. I went to two different schools in that time, and it was a huge switch from living in Jackson, Mississsippi. The music changed completely. Back in Jackson, I was pretty much on my own in terms of…

Weezer: Pinkerton
Song: “Across the Sea” I know, I know. Any excuse to talk about Weezer. But I swear, this is the song on my iPod! I promise! I was just singing it.

Green Day: American Idiot
song: “Give Me Novacaine” Green Day is the boyfriend you have your sophomore year of high school, the one who likes to talk about poop and thinks it’s funny to push you to the ground and fart on your head. You hate Green Day, but you love Green Day. And one day you decide you…

“and some days they last longer than others.”
Friday morning. No sleep. Have to get to the airport. My bones ache and I’m sure I haven’t packed everything I need. I don’t have the strength to think. I make it to the shuttle. I turn on the iPod, loud. Shuffle plays cruel tricks.

a conversation with chito.
[scripty] PAMIE Hello? CHITO Aw, shit, Pam. How’s it goin’, girl? PAMIE Good. What’s up? CHITO I am watching… have you seen R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet?” PAMIE No. CHITO Are you watching VH-1 right now? PAMIE No, not presently. CHITO I am. You have to turn it on. PAMIE Let me tell you…

missing shiny pretty thing
According to my Amazon wish list, some kind person purchased the new Queens of the Stone Age album for me, perhaps for my birthday. I rarely check on purchased gifts, so I don’t know how long ago this one might have been purchased, but it’s at the top of the list, so I’m assuming it’s…

Happy Weezer Day!
Garbage, Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, System of a Down — it’s like May Sweeps for my iPod. I bought the Garbage album in Toronto, but I’ve been waiting on the trifecta until next week when the System of a Down album comes out. I haven’t had enough time to listen to the Garbage album all…
