Now you’ve been working so hard
Running in circles
Like a robot shorting circuits
Like it’s set to blow

I’ve gotta make an appointment
Just to kiss you
Baby I’m not complaining
But I’ve got to know

Ain’t happy, I’m feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I’m useless but not for long
The future is coming on

The 6ths (YouTube)

Met you on a traffic island
We were there all day
In the middle of the world’s highway
Summer left its light green lipstick on our war faces
Took us to all the pretty places

Highway 405 will take you from the Boom Boom Room
to Interstate 5 which goes right to the San Diego Zoo

How could I have ever left you?
How could I have ever left you?

Left you in a sidewalk cafe
I’m the restless kind
and I must have been out of my mind
cause I haven’t slept since Wednesday
I’ve been getting thin
I just want to see your silly grin

I’ve made it to the end of the Pandora rainbow

Pandora-end-of-rainbow
I finally got to the end of the Pandora rainbow yesterday after delightfully chewing up my 40 free hours per month. There wasn’t a pot of gold there but instead a polite request for $0.99 to keep listening for the rest of the month (i.e., today). After entering a few credit-card details I was on my way and the music kept playing.

Pandora-end-of-rainbow-thanks

Thus I’ve spent my first $0.99 on Pandora. More to come, I’m sure!

I’m down to my last 15 hours of free Pandora for the month. Yikes! Guess I’m in their top 10% of listeners after all. If the music industry were smart (now THERE’S a ludicrous thought), they would comp Pandora’s licensing fees. No one markets music better than Pandora!

Who made up all the rules?
We follow them like fools,
Believe them to be true,
Don’t care to think them through

And I’m sorry, so sorry
I’m sorry it’s like this
I’m sorry, so sorry
I’m sorry we do this

The Way I Are

The Way I Are
Timbaland (featuring: Keri Hilson, D.O.E.) (YouTube)

I ain’t got no money
I ain’t got no car to take you on a date
I can’t even buy you flowers
But together we can be the perfect soulmates
Talk to me girl

Oh, baby, it’s alright now, you ain’t gotta flaunt for me
If we go Dutch you can still touch my love, it’s free
We can work without the perks just you and me
Thug it out ’til we get it right

Mika

Took a right to the end of the line
Where no one ever goes.
Ended up on a broken train with nobody I know.
But the pain and the longings the same.
Where they’re dying
Now I’m lost and I’m screaming for help.

Relax, take it easy
For there is nothing that we can do.
Relax, take it easy
Blame it on me or blame it on you.

Cussin’ In Tongues

Cussin’ In Tongues (YouTube) (band MP3)
Th’Legendary Shack Shakers

Way back yonder where the gravel road ends
Fourth holler over, plum up to the head
On an AC tractor reapin’ reefer on a hill
Got an inverted cross of lights on his grill
Shape-note singin’ ’bout whiskey and sin
With an amplified bible cranked up to ten
He’s a preacher,
He’s a teacher,
He’s a demon in disguise,
Red checkerboard pattern in the whites of his eyes.

And you can tell by the sound of his cussin’ in tongues
It’s best you boys just a-run along.
Best you boys just run on along,
Before the cock crows three times tonight.
