I'm not feeling alright today.
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host.
Most girls make noises in their sleep,
Bevan tried to change the nation.
If you find yourself caught in love
but if you blame it on the rain, tell me
I'm a man cut in half in this world.

But I've got the styles that are always in the pocket
so I can call just to tell them I'm fine;
I'd give you what you wanted.
You're pulling away,
I'm like a bird of prey.
Ignore them tonight and you'll be alright.
Behind the mic I'm burning too.
The only thing I'll ever ask of you:
Strange how it turns out that way

As he slides in the rest of them continue their talking and drinking
and I feel the time is right although I know,
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose;
when the justice eludes you, it's the fortunes of war.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/_morebetterness/journal/2008/03/25/8nu0y_note_to_self Tue, 25 Mar 2008 11:38:02 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/_morebetterness/journal/2008/03/25/8nu0y_note_to_self New stuff that I like:

Thanks to last.fm's "Similar Arists" menu, I have three new artists I love thoroughly. All fronted by females, which is weird. I typically don't like bands fronted by women. A new era?

Go listen.

The Eames Era
Butterfly Boucher
Inara George]]> http://www.last.fm/user/_morebetterness/journal/2007/02/05/8ntwe_commas_and_ampersands.__ Mon, 5 Feb 2007 22:25:37 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/_morebetterness/journal/2007/02/05/8ntwe_commas_and_ampersands.__ Speaking of new obsessions, take Mike Doughty.

He's wonderfully cool and relaxing, while at the same time being upbeat. But not too upbeat. Just enough to make you smile.

A new favourite.

Listen to:
- Tremendous Brunettes
- Bustin' Up a Starbucks
- I Hear the Bells]]> http://www.last.fm/user/_morebetterness/journal/2006/11/21/8ntru_i%27m_going_deaf_from_the_sound_of_the_freeway. Tue, 21 Nov 2006 21:21:33 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/_morebetterness/journal/2006/11/21/8ntru_i%27m_going_deaf_from_the_sound_of_the_freeway. So apparently, I like this new band, +44, even more than I thought, seeing as I listened to them a whopping 30 times this past week. (Thank you, Erin.)

I highly recommend them, especially if you like Blink-182. It's Mark Hoppus, but he isn't singing about farts. Awww, he grew up. It's a wonderful thing.

Also, Happy Thanksgiving everyone!]]> http://www.last.fm/user/_morebetterness/journal/2006/11/06/8ntrj_the_fox_and_the_bee.

I am in love.

Everyone should listen.. now.]]>
