They Might Be Giants – "When You Die" (2011)

2011/11/26


I would like to dedicate this to all those large corporations out there that are ruining people's lives in the pursuit of profit and greed.

Don't agree? Please watch "The Corporation" (2003) and report back here:

R.E.M. – "So. Central Rain (I'm Sorry)" (1984)

2011/02/08


I heard an excerpt of this on TV, the weather channel in fact, and I needed to hear it all. To me listening to R.E.M. is like going home.

She drives me crazy
like no one else
She drives me crazy
and I can't help myself

…really it is so hard to change yourself. Probably one of the hardest things to change!

The Pixies – "Here Comes Your Man" (1989)

2010/02/08


I always thought this was about a relationship, but apparently it is supposed to be about an earthquake. I guess the two are synonymous though!

This is the song my band was supposed to be practicing. We thought it would be an easy one to duplicate. We seem to have trouble forming any coherent band practice schedule. Perhaps I should work on that.

Colorblind James Experience – "Considering a Move to Memphis" (1987)

2009/11/14


I'm considering a move to Memphis.

No, not really. I've never been to Tennessee actually. Most of the states all around it, but somehow I've missed that one.

What I am considering is a move from wordpress.com to somewhere else, probably my own hosted wordpress blog, just not at wordpress.com. I am still researching my options and weighing the pros and cons of moving away from the warm safe but restrictive bosom of wordpress.com. This is all very uncomfortable for me but staying within wordpress.com will not grant me the control I would like to have (ever it would appear). So be it. I must spread my wings and take flight.

This song has been my theme song as I sit here scouring the web for information and "how to's" on the subject. As part of the move I am also reviewing my registered domain options. The dot-com for MSotD appears to be taken by some proxy registrar. In other words, it might as well not be available, ever. So I may have to go with something else entirely. I may have to give my blog a new name to match too.

As always, I am open to any suggestions you may have on the topic OR any suggestions of what you would like my blog to include too! I am here for myself, but I also want all you peeps out there to be happy campers too with my "song a day" and "album a week" services. As a "DJ" or sorts I will drive the musical bus, but I am am flexible to requests and your thoughts.

PS: Up to this point I have only referred to myself as being in the Northeastern USA, but this song and the band is from my hometown so I'd like to pay tribute to my home town, Rochester, NY, where Chuck Cuminale and his band "Colorblind James Experience" created this song.

Violent Femmes – "Dance, Motherfucker, Dance!" (1993)

2009/07/15


Work has gone so well this week, I think this needs to by my song of the day. I can't believe it is only Wednesday. Only two work days have past yet I feel a year older. Damn.
