I fuckin love this song!

bent outta shape code of ethics

So, that's what the song is!!!!

Yesterday after work I went to my friend Marc's house to take a nap. Katie was there and it was only 20 minutes away on the train, so i figured a nap on the train and a nap at his house! but before the napping Katie and I were showing each other our favorite music videos from the 90's. Katie then showed me Tripping Daisy's "I Got A Girl" which is the song I've been searching for over a decade!!!!

ok, backtrack. I was obsessed with this song when I was in fifth grade! I remember being in a car somewhere with my family and this song came on and I loved it so much! then I taped it off the radio but I never got who wrote it! I would ask people if they knew the song but no one did. I was seriously starting to think I was going insane!

when the internet came along I would google the lyrics but nothing, which is stupid because the lyrics are pretty easy! Seriously, over a decade to figure out who sang this fuckin song!



my mind has been blown

george

All I want to listen to today is George Harrison. Last week I saw the Phil Spector documentary and learned that he produced the song "my sweet lord", which apparently was a well known fact. I had no idea, oh well! anyway, I remember I was obsessed with that song as a kid, like OBSESSED. Along with Ace of Base, Real McCoy and other things I was into in elementary school, I would record "my sweet lord" off the radio. It just grabbed my attention, its just a beautiful song. Despite all the religious undertones, its great.

A couple of years ago I was living with John McLean who's in dead dog now (http://www.myspace.com/deaddawgz) and he was obsessed with George. One day he cut his face out and put it on my wall and said something "like sorry , love george" i think he cut it out of my white album.

leyton buzzards

I like this song a lot because they make all different kinds of noises in the middle of the song. I need more coffee!!!! This band later on became modern romance who did bad dance singles! according to wikipedia, Morissey is quoted as saying " "There are indeed worse groups than Modern Romance. But can anyone seriously think of one?"
OUCH! well at least the buzzards rule! I wonder how many times people got them confused with the buzzcocks??

when in rome - promises

Shellshag is one of my favorite local bands and this morning while at work , When in Rome came up on my OMD radiostation and it was the song "promises" which was a song I knew! why? because Shellshag covers it! It never occurred to me that it was a cover, not sure why since they cover a lot of awesome songs like Liz Phair's "fuck and run". Both the original and the cover are both great and I'm glad to finally know who sang it first!

Don Knotts

I watched the weirdest movie at work, The Incredible Mr. Limpet. I liked it because he falls into the ocean at coney island and then fights nazis. Its kind of weird because when he becomes a fish he falls in love with a fish who was never a human.
