Song of the DayThe Dodos - Fools

Finally became the proud owner of a couple more The Dodos albums, so I finally have the song that turned me on to them in the first place.

Yay!

And so I share it with you.

Almost There

I signed the divorce papers today. It is almost official!

I'm not exactly sure when I can pop the cork on the champagne, but it'll be soon!

Aside from that, I spent most of the day scrambling to put together some designs against late content decisions on an interactive kiosk about tires. Or, I "put the rubber to the road" on 'em, if you will...

har har.

*cough*

Song of the DayCake - Comanche

"If you want to have cities, you have to build roads."

Ain't that the truth. I love music.

Song of the DayCory Hummel - The Farting Intro

So, I'm proud to host Cory's debut as a composer here on the Song of the Day! He spent a little time yesterday composing this little ditty, which I think is quite tasty.

Isn't he talented?

Please forgive the sophomoric title, which reveals the actual use for the track: intro music for the fart videos he, Cole and Holden post on YouTube as CCHCinema.

Cory & Cole composed another one today, but I told them they have to bring the sophistication of the subject matter up a notch or two first, then Cole can have his debut as a vocalist (with his signature faux British accent).

Go Fly a Kite

The boys and I braved the bitterly cold coldness to fly a kite today at the Minnesota Kite Society's winter kite festival.





The spiced apple cider and little marshmallow-roasting firepits saved my cold finger from falling off, and the kitchy music they were pumping over Lake Harriet made bearing the cold all worthwhile!

Song of the DayThe Paragons - The Tide Is High

Did you know that Blondie was NOT the first to do "The Tide Is High?"

Now you do!

Eva's Mad Sales Skillz

I stopped in GNC in Ridgedale Mall the other day to get another bottle of my daily vitamin of choice.

I was out, you see.

Well, I usually walk by the store first to case out whether this particular woman is there or not. If she's there, I don't go in. However, this particular day, I was in a particular hurry and particularly short on time the rest of the week, so I decided to go in regardless of this particular woman's presence.

I needed my vitamins, you see.

Eva here must be single-handedly responsible for like 80% of the store's sales. In fact, the very vitamins I went in to purchase were skillfully sold to me by her a couple of years ago when I was in for a product from another category entirely that frankly cost a fraction of that bottle of vitamins.

No matter.

I bought both, and I keep coming back for more.

So, yeah. I avoid her.

I know I complain about the complacent cashiers at other stores who barely give you the time of day before they give you your total, but I kinda wish someone like that took my credit card at this particular GNC rather than Eva.

Song of the DayNaked Eyes - Always Something There To Remind Me

A little throwback song to remind us of times gone by.
