Bright Eyes – "When the President Talks to God" (2005)

2011/11/13


At least three of the presidential candidates (Cain, Bachmann, Perry) claim that god has told them they should run for president. Sounds like bullshit to me. It also sounds like God can't decide either.

Don't trust anyone who says they talk to god other than your spiritual advisor/preacher/whatever. Definitely don't trust it coming from a politician's mouth!

I also say it doesn't matter. They all want flat tax plans that are a tax cut for the rich and a tax increase for the poor, and that is not going to solve our problems. It will make them a lot worse. A simple tax plan does not mean it is a fair one!

Beck – "Lost Cause" (2002)

2011/01/19


There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming they see you go
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy; nobody cares

Baby you're lost
Baby you're lost
Baby you're a lost cause

Regina Spektor – "Better" (2006)

I feel like some Regina Spektor this morning. Here is one of my favorites of her's.

Here is the "official" video, though the above one is the album version, and the one I know and I love most!

King Missile – "Cheesecake Truck" (1990)

2010/01/15


Not a moment of downtime yesterday. It sucks. Perhaps I should steal a cheesecake truck, leave town, and start over. I wonder how one might go about that. I wonder if I can find a song to guide me?

….and apparently my tired state prevents me from being able to spell "cheesecake" and "missile". I misspelled every instance and had to up them all. Some twice! Oi! I don't know what a "chescale missle" is, but it is not right.

Kate Nash – "Foundations" (2007)

2009/07/02


While searching for the Lily Allen song this morning, I found this one by Kate Nash too. Another song I love from the radio, but did not take the time to find out who it is. Fortunately my radio station posts their playlists online, so I'm going to have to scour the list and fill in the obvious cracks in my collection.

I'd tell you what radio station, but I kind of like being anonymous geographically as well as in general, so find your local indie radio station. Chances are they are playing the same songs!

Ben Folds (feat. Regina Spektor) – "You Don't Know Me" (2008)

2009/04/10


I loved this song immediately when I first heard it on our local indie station last fall. I love the interplay in the song between Ben and Regina, and I love the humor in it. The video is a bit goofy, but the song is solid and excellent. It makes me think they should extend their partnership and do a whole album's worth of songs together. In fact I think this is my favorite song from either one of them. Definitely a top pick of mine from 2008.
