The road trip to Vegas is always bound to deliver an amazing playlist. Usually from the 80's/90's (some current stuff interspersed) - and always sprinkled with the amazing one hit wonders and pop disasters.
Par Example: (A sampling of the songs heard while stuck in hella traffic somewhere between Baker and Barstow)
*Bangles - Manic Monday
*Hanson - I will come to you
*Hewey Lewis and the News - Power of Love
*Chamillionaire - Ridin'
*Jtlake - What goes around comes around
*Erasure - A little respect
*The Outfield - Your Love (listen to this one on itunes, I know you know it - Tainted Love anyone??)
*Plus a ton more that I can't remember...
In the spirit of seeing Beatles: Love, we listened to over 3 hours of Beatles music.

i'm not here for your entertainment, you don't really want to mess with me tonight
Most hilarious song I have heard in a LONG time:
Pink - U + Ur Hand - key lyrics - "Keep your drink, just give me the money"
Best songs of this week:
Peter Bjorn and John - The Chills
CSS - Let's Make Love and Listen to DFA
Pipettes - Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me
Klaxons - Golden Skans
American Idol tonight was actually decent - Blake sang a Zombies song - A Time of the Season, or something. I am going to go buy it now.

Good Music Heals All Wounds
I have been sick for about a month. With pneumonia. And it has sucked not only my energy, but my life.
I pretty much feel like I am on the edge of nervous breakdown number two. I had a nervous breakdown in December of 2002. I feel very elite to say that I actually had that crazy movie star disease where I was suffering from "exhaustion".
I don't rest.
Ever.
And then something like this happens. Sickness. Pneumonia. I get the "living life to the fullest" disease. All I am doing is having fun! Enjoying life! Right?
So music. It is SO powerful. It says everything that I want it to say. I can place people and locations into each song I hear and live through it. Feel it. Experience it. Enjoy it.
Songs that mean something to me right this second:
Sick Puppies - All the Same
Silversun pickups - Lazy Eye
Offspring - Want you bad
MCR - I'm not ok (I promise)
Jimmy Eat World - Softer (She's Perfect)
and to throw everyone off right now..drum roll
Dave Matthews Band - Grey Street
" Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street.
She thinks, "Hey, how did I come to this?"
I dream myself a thousand times around the world
But I can't get out of this place.
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'll do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her it might
She says "I pray oh but they fall on deaf ears,
am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place? "
Oh There's a lonliness inside her
And she'll do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart"
Music. Heals. There is always a song to say what I am thinking. Always.
