Five Finger Death Punch – "Never Enough" (2008)
2010/11/24
I spent so long looking for an angry song yesterday (the day before Thanksgiving) I never actually got to post one! None of them were quite the right angry, you know? I'm more chill-axed today (Thanksgiving), so this song will serve for yesterday. I'll bore you with my whiny vague details another day. Or just listen to the song. You'll get the gist.
PS: What really ticked me off yesterday was when I was getting on the highway after work. This car behind me tried to come up along my side to pass me… on the one lane narrow on-ramp! Not only did we almost crash into each others' sides, but I rolled down my window to extend the holy middle finger outside of the car, while yelling obscenities as loudly and demoniacally as I could. Ultimately they did not pass me because I floored it, my "fuck you and your favorite color" flag blowing in the wind. What an asshole!

Three Days Grace – "Never Too Late" (2006)
2010/07/13
The world we knew won't come back
The time we've lost can't get back
The life we had won't be ours again
…but…
Maybe we'll turn it around 'cause it's not too late
It's never too late

Soundgarden – "Black Hole Sun" (1994)
2010/07/11
Despite hearing this song ad nauseam on the radio in the 90s, I never actually saw the video until today. It is surprisingly silly, and yet still disturbing with the stretched out faces. I guess there is that whole being sucked into a black hole thing too. That kind of freaks me out sometimes, but only because in my mind "black holes" and "death" are like next door neighbors. They have perfect lawns and watch each other's pets and everything. There's no keeping up with them. They will destroy you!

Rage Against The Machine – "Bulls on Parade" (1996)
2010/06/08
I'm already hating on the system today. The police report from our accident is considerably more vague about who was responsible than I would've liked. e.g. No ticket was issued to the other driver. I believe this has already resulted in some persistent calls from insurance companies, though I refuse to talk to any but my own.
At the same time the rental car company gave me a Nissan Altima. Thumbs down!!! It felt like the steering wheel and the actual wheels had very little to do with each other. Boo Nissan! Boo! I had to take it back and get a different car. It seemed like another accident was definite had I kept it! They gave me a white Hyundai Sonata. Acceptable, but I'll be happy to return it.
Meanwhile I've been informed it may be a while before I hear from the adjuster. And then my insurance company may not actually allow me the rental car long enough to get a replacement car. But the one thing has to happen before the other can truly begin! Taking the bus is looking like a viable option.
To top it off all my muscles have been realizing what happened and are tying themselves into nice knots. My braking leg in particular is solid. I am waiting for it to snap and make a "SPROING" sound like a spring recoiling. This sucks.

L7 – "Pretend We're Dead" (1992)
2010/02/28
After a late night of RockBand and hanging with some friends, I have another highly influenced choice, "Pretend We're Dead", which I haven't heard in years and years. L7 wasn't as popular as some other grunge bands in the 90s (e.g. Pearl Jam, Nirvana), but they may be the most successful and famous female grunge band ever. I cannot even think of another that was all women. If I were a woman I would totally want to be in an all girl band. Alas.
Speaking of bands, the "band" I am in finally got together. We played along with a couple dozen songs, had a good time, and achieved little else. We didn't play this song by L7, but I think Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" and The Pixies "Here Comes Your Man" went well! It was great!
We were joking at one point about naming the band Maggot Head. (Really it wouldn't work unless we punked up a bit.) Sadly even our joking band names appear to be taken! See!

Mudvayne – "Dig" (2000)
2009/12/07Sometimes I'm in a bad mood. G loves those days. She runs and hides (figuratively) and tries not to make too much sound (literally). I'm feeling much better now, but this morning and last night, the guy with the blue braided beard, yeah that was totally me. I told G I was sorry. I yelled at one of the cats last night, and it sounded more like I was going to eat him I'm guessing. The cat is unharmed I assure you. It barely even registered with him. He is fearless (or deaf… we're not entirely sure).
I guess I'm feeling the stress of the season, without the spirit. Time for some yoga… or perhaps a sedative… or perhaps a stiff drink. Why choose?!
