Old Music (Still Good Music): Fischer-Z - "So Long"...

I haven't felt this connected with a song and its lyrics for quite some time.

"So Long"

When I read your letter I couldn’t believe that you’d gone.
I dialed your number but no one answered your phone.
I asked your friends to tell me if they knew where you were.
They said that they thought that you were ill.

I hired a detective to try and find out where you are.
He managed to trace you, he said you were living in France.
A watchman saw you climb into someone else’s car,
and drive off laughing in the night.

Why didn’t you tell me ? Not leave me this way!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long.

I’ve tried to forget you, but I found myself walking the streets.
I went to the doctor and he gave me something to sleep.
I’ve sent you telegrams, but you haven’t answered one.
Your mother told me, I best leave you all alone.
I hope you’re satisfied now you’ve done this thing to me.
I hope you’re pleased with what you’ve done.

Why didn’t you tell me ? Not leave me this way!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long.
For so long, I never realized just exactly who you were.
For so long, I never realized the girl I had before.
For so long, I hope you’re satisfied, you won’t hear from me again.
For so long, I hope you’re pleased with what you’ve done.
Why didn’t you tell me ? Not leave me this way!
You could have told me. Not waited for so long.

New Music: Beach House - "Walk in the Park"...

My current favorite song of 2010 (Yes, I know it's only February). If you can make it through the terrible "faces in the crowd" ad, then your patience shall be rewarded.

Old Music (Still Good Music): The Cult - "Fire Woman"...

I still remember the look on my mother's face when I asked her if I could buy a tape from a band named "The Cult". Needless to say, I was not permitted to purchase said tape. That never stopped me from loving this song though.

WHO DAT?

These people deserve this. Odds on the Saints winning the Super Bowl + having a black president 10 years ago?



My vote for Saints theme song of 2009-2010 season:

Top 10 Movies I Can't Resist When They're on TV...

(in order)

1. Point Break (1991)



Maybe the best worst movie ever. "I am an FBI AGENT!"

2. The Silence of the Lambs (1991)



Disturbingly entertaining every single time.

3. Sling Blade (1996)



One of the funniest/most endearing films of all-time.

4. The Truman Show (1998)



Truman Show = way ahead of its time. Genius.

5. Fargo (1996)



Fargo is perfect in every way. "Yah!"

6. Wonder Boys (2000)



Filled with A-list actors and still WAY overlooked.

7. Uncle Buck (1989)



"Could I interest anyone in a possible lunch trade?"

8. Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991)



I still think the T-1000 is going to somehow get John Connor everytime.

9. Groundhog Day (1993)



Pretty much one of the greatest ideas ever for a comedy.

10. Back to the Future (1985)



I still want the DeLorean DMC-12 twenty-five years later.
