Purely psychosomatic
Apr. 25th, 2009 08:55 pmI'd heard this song on the radio a bunch of times before, but I found this icon today and had to nab it - which inspired me to look up the video for the song. I'm happy to say that the video makes as much sense as the song (which is to say, none), but it's probably one of the most inspired descents into nonsense that I've ever seen. (And with a helluva catchy horn riff, too.) Also, one of the few songs I've seen composed entirely of clips that actually works musically.

Apr. 25th, 2009 11:59 pmI'm pretty sure the LiveJournal TOS requires that any given user post something whiny and self-centered at least once per month. Or, at least, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
I'm feeling kind of disillusioned and frustrated right now. Over the past year or so (and the past few months especially), I've really enjoyed going out on Saturdays - sure, the Viking isn't exactly a great venue, but their dance floor usually has some perfectly serviceable music, and the karaoke was fun (and pool if one's eardrums needed a break or one wanted to chat). But it seems like everything I enjoy about it's being changed - as I think I've mentioned before, they've replaced karaoke and pool with local bands on Saturday nights, and while I can do without the pool I really miss karaoke. The dance floor's still there, but the DJ lately seems to be really into music I have no interest in dancing to - this week I got all dressed and went out, only to hang out for an hour and kinda-sorta dance to a song and a half. And I was really looking forward to dancing today, too, because my moods have (for some reason) been on a roller-coaster today and dancing almost always makes me feel better. But it's kind of hard to get into it when the music just plain sucks.
I dunno. I could try going on Fridays instead, but part of the reason I like going on Saturdays is because that's when Monica goes, and if you don't bring any friends along it's nowhere near as much fun. I just wish I lived somewhere there was a real club.
I think I'll take a shower. Hopefully that'll help me feel better. If you read this far, thanks for listening to me whine, and I promise to return the favor sometime.
