Your Musical Thought of the Day, 10/27

I bought me an illusion
An I put it on the wall
I let it fill my head with dreams
And I had to have them all
But oh the taste is never so sweet
As what you'd believe it is-
Well I guess it never is
It's these prejudiced illusions
That pump the blood
To the heart of the biz

-- Guns-N-Roses, "Locomotive"

In other news, hell has frozen over

Chinese Democracy? Really? After all this time? Is there any way this can be anything but a disappointment? These guys should have been the modern day Rolling Stones. Instead, they're a rock punchline. So much fucking talent, so wasted.

The single sounds pretty decent, the sound quality is certainly much better than the leaked bootlegs. But after Appetite For Destruction became such a part of rock mythology, I think fans are expecting perfection after 14 years. Not sure this is it.

Your Musical Thought of the Day, 10/19

$1,000 car is gonna let you down,
More than it's ever gonna get you around.
Replace your gaskets and paint over your rust,
You'll still end up with something that you'll never trust.
$1,000 car's life was through,
'bought 50,000 miles 'fore it got to you.
Oh why did I ever buy,
a $1,000 car.

Bottle Rockets, "$1,000 Car"

Your musical thought of the day, 10/14

Suck it in suck it in suck it in
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
And then begin
To see
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
So desperately I sing to thee
Of love
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
I've tried well no in fact I lied
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
To hide or slide
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
And only then shall I abide this tide
Of catchy little tunes
Of hip three minute ditties
I wanna bust all your balloons
I wanna burn all of your cities
To the ground I've found
I will not mess around
Unless I play then hey
I will go on all day hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
That's really all this was
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
I don't rely on luck because...

The hook brings you back

Your musical thought of the day, 10/11

sometimes you're the windshield
sometimes you're the bug
sometimes it all comes together baby
sometimes you're a fool in love
sometimes you're the louisville slugger
sometimes you're the ball
sometimes it all comes together baby
sometimes you're going to lose it all

--- Dire Straits, "The Bug"

Your Musical Thought of the Day 10/6

First in my class here at MIT
Got skills, I’m a champion at D&D
MC Escher - that’s my favorite MC
Keep your 40, I’ll just have an Earl Grey tea
My rims never spin, to the contrary
You’ll find that they’re quite stationary
All of my action figures are cherry
Steven Hawking’s in my library
My MySpace page is all totally pimped out
Got people beggin’ for my top eight spaces
Yo, I know pi to a thousand places
Ain’t got no grills but I still wear braces

--Weird Al Yankovic "White & Nerdy"
