err...

so much for letting it happen "organically."

thursday:
song: Hollywood Nights
artist Bob Seger

friday:
song: Solid
artist: Ashford and Simpson

you all know how i feel about Bob Seger, so it must be karmatic retribution for calling him "big 'ol baby." so much for starting anew. who did i kill in a former life that i deserve this?

then there's "Solid." i love Ashford and Simpson. but wouldn't it just figure that my least favorite (and argubly their biggest hit) would factor into this list.

something else has come out of this, though:

saturday:
song: Kayleigh
artist: Marillion

i love Marillion. as far as prog rock bands go the band is tops. i was turned on to Marillion in the early ninties by a bandmate. he named his daughter Kayleigh. we used to do a cover of "Sugar Mice." then, seperately, a couple of coworkers who were former college radio djs told me the long, boring sotry about the band. all i remember of it was Fish left the band and they aren't the same any more.

i forgot today's song. i mowed the lawn instead of blogging. where are my priorities?

reinventing the blog

here's what's been happening:
i wake up with a new song stuck in my head every morning. lately (since i started this blog) it had become the first thing i think about. even before the song was actually there. i'll wake up and think: what song is it today? it added a lot of pressure to this experiment and that led to, i think, false data. i needed to let it happen organically. so i took a break. durring that break i let several good songs go undocumented. songs by Dressy Bessy, Outkast, and PiL, for example. so when i woke with today's song it seemed appropiate.

Song: Skills Like This
artist: Guided By Voices

check out these lyrics:
Reinvented nightly. Wake up with skills like this. And do you want me in your head? ... I want to reinvent you now

seems like this would be a good place to restart this list. rest assured that there will be more posts here, but it may not be every day. i have to let it...happen.
