1) Cindy let me borrow her Encore cd and it was good stuff. In my opinion, better than its predecessor. The guy is still vulgar, offensive, and boy what a whiner... but he's got a lot to say and I have to admit I sat there and listened, really listened, to the whole album. Two points of note: I was suprised to hear Toy Soldiers as the chorus track to "Like Toy Soldiers". I see where he's trying to go with that but still... Martika, man? And second, I get it. He has issues with Kim. Talk about beating a dead horse...
2) While browsing through the 'Pod I stumbled across "Restless Heart" by Starsailor. Cute stuff:
She stayed till the morning
Left with her soul intact
Something was forming
I asked her if she'd come back
My restless heart beats like a wanton drum
Take this to heart, say I'm your only one.
Say I'm your only one
Say I'm your only one
Say I'm your only one
Say I'm your heart
I think Andy gave me that one. Thanks!
3) Dido is freakin awesome.
"See You When You're 40"
I've driven round in circles for three hours
It was bound to happen that I'd end up at your house
I temporarily forgot there's better days to come
I thought that I would give it just one more chance
Cause I want, tonight, what I've been waiting for
But I found, tonight, what I'd been warned about
You think you are complicated, deep mystery to all
Well it's taken me a while to see, you're not so special
All energy no meaning, with a lot of words
So paper thin that one real feeling, could knock you down
And I've seen, tonight, what I'd been warned about
I'm gonna leave, tonight, before I change my mind
So see you when your 40, lost and all alone
being comforted by strangers you'll never need to know
not sad because you lost me
but sad because you thought it was cool to be sad
You think misery will make you stand apart from the crowd
well if you had walked past me today I wouldn't have picked you out
I wouldn't have picked you out
now I've seen, tonight, how could I waste my time?
and I'll be on my way, and I won't be back
cos I've seen, tonight, what I've been warned about
you're just a boy, not a man, and I'm not coming back.
Hahaha... BURN!!
