YAY! They Might Be Giants! They are such a unique band. Yet to hit the top 40 in the charts, though.

I really like "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", "Particle Man", and "Ana Ng". Really good stuff. And the theme for Malcolm in the Middle is pretty good too.

And now for something completely diffirent...

The Bear Went Over The Mountain

To see what he could see

The other side of the mountain,

The other side of the mountain,
Was all that he could see

Conviction Of The Heart
Kenny Loggins
From the album "Leap Of Faith"

Where are the dreams that we once had?
This is the time to bring them back.
What were the promises caught
On the tips of our tongues?
Do we forget or forgive?
There's a whole other life waiting to be lived when...
One day we're brave enough
To talk with conviction of the heart.
And down your streets I've walked alone,
As if my feet were not my own
Such is the path I chose,
Doors I have opened and closed
I'm so tired of living this life,
Fooling myself, believing we're right when...
I've never given love
With any conviction of the heart.
One with the Earth, with the sky
I believe we'll survive
If we only try...
How long must we wait to change
This world bound in chains that we live in
To know what it is to forgive,
And to be forgiven?
It's been too many years of talking now.
Isn't it time to stop somehow?
Air that's too angry to breathe
Water our children can't drink
You've heard it hundreds of times
You say you're aware, believe and you care, but...
Do you care enough
To talk with conviction of the heart?

Bah...you guys are missing the best song off Steal this Album!

Nice picks, though, both great songs.

Last Nite - The Strokes

Last nite she said, oh baby I feel so down
When you turn me off, when I feel left out
So I, I turned round
Oh baby don't care no more, I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door
Well I've been in town for about fiteen whole minutes now
And baby I feel so down
And I don't know why
I've been walking for miles

People they don't understand
Your girlfriends they can't understand
Your grandsons they won't understand
On top of this I ain't ever going to understand

Last nite she said, oh baby don't feel so down
When you turn me off, when I feel left out
So I, I turned round
Oh baby going to be alright, it was a great big lie
Cause I left that night yeah

People they don't understand
Your girlfriends they don't understand
In spaceships they can't understand
And me I ain't ever going to understand

Last nite she said, oh baby don't feel so down
Well she turn me off, when I feel left out
So I, I turned round
Oh little girl I don't care no more, I know this for sure
I'm walking out that door yeah

You wanna be happy? well here's a feel good song (I think....)

"Learning How To Smile" - Everclear

Five miles outside of Vegas when we broke down
Threw my keys inside the window and we never looked back
Got all drunk and sloppy on a Greyhound bus
We passed out, all them losers they were laughing at us
I will never let them break your heart
No I will never let them break me

We got lost in Phoenix, seemed like such a long time
Seven months of livin' swimming on those thin white lines
Did some time for sellin' acid to the wrong guy
Life just keeps on gettin' smaller and we never ask why

Why there is no perfect place, yes I know this is true
I'm just learning how to smile
That's not easy to do
I know there will come a day
When we can leave and just go runnin' away

We was broke outside of Philly when the storms came
I was working in New Jersey, hitchin' rides in the rain
You was happy talkin' dirty at that phone sex place
Life just keeps on gettin' weirder for us every day

You say there is no perfect place, I say I know this is true
We are just learning how to smile
That's not easy to do
We both live for the day
When we can run away

Oh baby we can leave and run away
Yes we can leave this place and run away
We can leave it all behind like we do every time
Yes we both live for the day
When we can leave and just go runnin' away

No I will never let it break your heart
No I will never let it break me

Five miles outside of Vegas, five years down the line
We got married in the desert and the sunshine
I can't handle how the hell it happens every day
When you smile and touch my face
You make it all just go away

Yes I know there ain't no finish line, I know this never ends
But I'm just learning how to fall, climb back up again
I know there is nothing perfect, I know there is nothing new
We are just learning how to live together, me and you
You know I live for the day
When you say "Baby let's just run away"

Oh baby we can leave and run away
Yes we can leave this place and run away
Baby we can leave and run away
We can leave this place and run away

Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul

[Nas:]
I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected
Too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians
Pray together
Less fight
We better unite
As genocide chemical war
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure

[Eve:]
It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
All the kids with dreams
Won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life

[Fred Durst:]
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everyone wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can't be watching people die
(die)
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and me
There's plenty of room for some humanity

Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on

This is a really upbeat-sounding song...though the lyrics are a bit puzzling...heh...still its fun.

Generals and Majors by XTC

Generals and Majors ah ah
they're never too far
from battlefields so glorious
out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
till once again victorious

Generals and Majors always
seem so unhappy 'less they got a war

Generals and Majors ah ah
like never before are tired of being actionless.

Calling
Generals and Majors everywhere
Calling
your World War III is drawing near

Generals and Majors ah ah
They're never too far
away from men who made the grade
out in a world of their own
They'll never come down
until the battle's lost or made

Generals and Majors ah ah
like never before, are tired of being in the shade

Audioslave - Like A Stone

On a cold wet
afternoon
no room for love and emptiness
by a freeway
i confess i was lost in the pages
of a book
full of death
reading how we'll die alone
and if a god will lay to rest
anywhere we want to go
in your house
i long to be
room by room
patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
alone

and on my death bed
i will pray
to the gods and the angels
like a pagan
to anyone who will take me to heaven
to a place
i recall
i was there so long ago
the sky was bruised
the world was black
and there you led me on

in your house
i long to be
room by room
patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
alone
alone

in all i read
till the day was gone
and i sat in regret
of all the things i've done
for all that i've blessed
and all that i've wronged
in dreams untill my death
i will wonder on

in your house
i long to be
room by room
patiently
i'll wait for you there
like a stone
i'll wait for you there
alone
alone

I figure with war in Iraq only a few weeks away. I'd pop this nice little number from Blur on, only available on vinyl though.

Don't Bomb When You're The Bomb - Blur

Don't bomb when you're the bomb, don't bomb
Don't bomb when you're the bomb, bomb, bo-bo-bo-bomb (x2)

Don't bomb when you're the bomb, don't bomb
Don't bomb when you're the bomb, bomb, bo-bo-bo-bomb (x2)

Don't bomb when you're the bomb, don't bomb
Don't bomb when you're the bomb, bomb, bo-bo-bo-bomb (x2)

If That Ain't Country: Anthony Smith.

Written by Anthony Smith and Jeffrey Steele.

From "If That Ain't Country", © 2002, Universal.

Crank it.

Where she grew up, there ain't no roads.
Out in the sticks where the ginseng grows.
She'd float down the river to get to school,
Then her daddy'd come get her on an old pack mule.
She run back and forth from shed to shack.
Checkin' on the moonshine brewin' out back.
If you don't get the picture by now,
Then wait a minute.

She got a bible; she's born again.
She got a shotgun; she ain't afraid of sin.
She got rebel-rousin', rowdy friends singin', oh oh oh.
She got a Trans Am, with a trailer hitch.
She got horses, cows and Dixie Chicks.
Goes honky-tonkin' just for kicks.
If that ain't country,
I don't know what is.

She plants fifty acres with seed an' a hoe,
Come Fall, you get lost in the tall corn rows.
Don't need no 'phone where she come from;
She just holler down the mountain and the boys all run.(Fast)
You might see her truck rollin' outta the woods,
With a 12 point buck laid across the hood.
If you don't get the picture by now,
Then wait a minute.

She got a bible; she's born again.
She got a shotgun; she ain't afraid of sin.
She got rebel-rousin', rowdy friends singin', oh oh oh.
She got a Trans Am, with a trailer hitch.
She got horses, cows and Dixie Chicks.
Goes honky-tonkin' just for kicks.
If that ain't country,
I don't know what is.

Instrumental break.

If you don't get the picture by now,
Then wait a minute.

She got a bible; she's born again.
She got a shotgun; she ain't afraid of sin.
She got rebel-rousin', rowdy friends singin', oh oh oh.
She got a Trans Am, with a trailer hitch.
She got horses, cows and Dixie Chicks.
Goes honky-tonkin' just for kicks.
If that ain't country,
I don't know what is.

I don't know what is.
I don't know what,
I don't know what is.

Cowgirl, there are times when you leave me grasping for words. This is such a time. That song is beautiful...

Here is a song I would often listen to during those long nights in Florida...thinking about you, Scayde...

Stand Here With Me
by Creed

You always reached out to me...and helped me believe
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them.
The truth of it is there's a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You're a melody...

You stand here with me now.

Just when fear blinded me...you taught me to dream.
I'll give you everything I am and still fall short of
What you've done for me.
In this life that I live
I hope I can give love unselfishly
I've learned the world is bigger than me
You're my daily dose of reality.

You stand here with me now.

On and on we sing,
On and on we sing this song...

Cause you stand here with me.

Not sure if this has been posted but....seeing that everyone likes Creed....

Creed
Who's Got My Back?

Run...hide
All that was sacred to us
Sacred to us
See the signs
The covenant has been broken
By mankind
Leaving us with no shoulder...with no shoulder
To rest our head on
To rest our head on
To rest our head on

Who's got my back now?
When all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected
So what is the truth now?

There's still time
All that has been devastated
Can be recreated
Realize
We pick up the broken pieces
Of our lives
Giving ourselves to each other...ourselves to each other\
To rest our head on
To rest our head on
To rest our head on

Who's got my back now?
When all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected
So what is the truth now?

Tell me the truth now...Tell us the truth now

Who's got my back now?
When all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected
So what is the truth now?

This is one of the craziest but coolest songs Ive heard in a while...sort of haunting too, its all of the above.

Sensoria -by Cabaret Voltaire


His head is not his memory.
Visions coming, one, two, three.
Trickle up, trickle down.
Wearily, we come unwound.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.

In hard times, hard thrills.
Reaching for the chosen pills.
Dragnets will pull you in.
Tell you that you're deep in sin.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.

In hard times, hard thrills.
Reaching for the chosen pills.
Dragnets will pull you in.
Tell you that you're deep in sin.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.

Once you were a lonely playboy.
Heading for a simple joy.
Trickles up, trickles down.
Frankly, I don't give a damn.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.

In hard times, hard thrills.
Reaching for the chosen pills.
Dragnets will pull you in.
Tell you that you're deep in sin.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.

Her new father, where and when?
Reaching for a giddy end.
Like a girl on a rainy day.
Have the needs to keep it sane.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.

Senses reaching fever pitch.
Reaching for a giddy end.
Like a girl on a rainy day.
Have the needs to keep it sane.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.

His head is not his memory.
Visions coming, one, two, three.
Trickle up, trickle down.
Wearily, we come unwound.
In hard times, hard thrills.
Reaching for the chosen pills.
Dragnets will pull you in.
Tell you that you're deep in sin.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.

Have the needs to keep them sane.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.
Sensoria, sensoria, sensoria, sensoria.

Apeman - The Kinks

I think I'm sophisticated
'cos I'm living my life a good homo sapiens.
But all around me ev'rybody's multiplying

And they're walking round like flies man:
So I'm no better than the animals
Sitting in the cages in the zoo man

'cos compared to the flowers and the birds
And the trees
I am an ape man.
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilised

'cos strict vegetarian. And with the over population
And inflation and starvation crazy politicans.
I don't feel safe in this world
No more don't want to die in a nuclear war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an ape man.

I'm an ape man
I'm an ape
Ape man
Oh
I'm an ape man.
I'm a king-kong man
I'm a voodoo man
Oh
I'm a ape man.
'cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky

Compared to the clouds as they roll by

Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies

I am an ape man. La
la
la
la...

In man's evolution he has created
The cities and the motor traffic rumble

But give me half a chance and I'd be taking
Clothes and living in the jungle.
But the only time that I feel at ease
Swinging up and down in a coconut tree.
Oh
what a life of luxury to be like an ape man.
I'm an ape man
I'm an ape
Ape man
Oh
I'm an ape man.
I'm a king-kong man
I'm a voodoo man
Oh
I'm a ape man.
I look out of the window
but I can't see the sky

'cos air polution is a fogging up my eyes

I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an ape man.

Come and love me
Be my ape man girl
And we'll be so happy in my ape man world.
I'm an ape man
I'm an ape
Ape man
Oh
I'm an ape man.
I'm a king-kong man
I'm a voodoo man
Oh
I'm a ape man.
I'll be your Tarzan
you'll be my Jane

I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane

We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas
All day just like an ape man.
