I’ve been listening to a lot of music lately, due to the recent death of my old laptop and losing my uploaded cds on my old itunes as well as my music from Limewire. When you try to sync your iPod with itunes on a new computer, it makes your erase your iPod and start over. Arrggh. Good news is I was able to transfer itunes purchases to the my new laptop, bad news is I have to upload the cds I can’t live without to the new machine. Also been downloading new tunes, love REM’s “Redhead Walking,” since it’s obviously about moi. “Living Well is the Best Revenge” is pretty deadgum good.
Came across tunes I haven’t heard in a while. A little gem I wanted to share is “I don’t Mind at All” by Bourgeois Tagg. It’s always been a favorite, had it on a mixed tape back in the day. The sound is a little like Toad the Wet Sprocket, Crowded House and others, but it’s the song that’s the stuff. You can’t get the song on itunes and Amazon’s got it on backorder, so being that I must have it, I got the cd on eBay this afternoon, so that’s you’re best bet if you like the song. If I had a band, it would definitely be a cover. And “Brick House,” too. And “Kung Foo Fighting” by Carl Douglas. Of course you can get that crap on itunes. If this were the radio, I could send it out in a dedication, well…here’s the video link (embedding’s been disabled for some reason.)
Bourgeois Tagg
I think it’s time to let you go;
But I don’t, no, I don’t mind at all.
When things are better left alone;
But I don’t, no, I don’t mind at all.
That I don’t see you laughing at me.
But I’m smart enough to know
That I’ll have to let you go.
But I don’t mind at all.
As far as you might think they will;
But I don’t, no, I don’t mind at all.
But she will never fit the bill;
But I don’t, no, I don’t mind at all.
That I don’t see you laughing at me.
But I’m smart enough to know
That I’ll have to let you go.
But I don’t mind at all.
I said good-bye to my own sanity;
But I don’t, no, I don’t, no, I don’t mind at all.
