Music: April 2007 Archives

dear you know who,

you know that we love living near you in the neighborhood.  we have been friends ever since you moved to this sweet little town, way back when.  we love having dinner with you and your family.  we love joking with you.  we love your kids.  but i am writing to you to ask you to please stop cursing me.

you see, when you see me leave the house, you pull over in your car to chat for a moment and then ask me if i would like a ride.  which we both know the answer is no.  you then pull away.  and for whatever reason, you take the energy and power that is in my ipod with you.  you, sir, kill my ipod each and every time you pull over.

in conclusion, to resolve the problem, i suggest that you just keep on driving and let me have my music.  i don't want to think my thoughts in the morning.  i want to sing.  i want to dance.  i want to have a party in my head.  why must you kill my ipod?  why?  oh, why?

sincerely,

jeorg 

so for the past two days i've been at a local conference.  this evening was a blast as it always is since there was the end of conference soirée that has plenty of vino, food and one really nasty cheese that none of us liked.

but anyway, that isn't my point.  i have been blogging about music lately.  or at least, i have in my head.  to me, music is a foreign language that people speak and it is one that i am not as familiar with.  by blog hopping, i recently discovered salvadore and his ability to graph music.  he is a fu©king genius.  the only thing is, you have to guess at the song, and i am a bit of suckage at this game because he seriously has a wide variety of songs that he graphs.  enjoy.

i want you to know that i married a veritable manpod.  he rivals the ipod on many levels in that he sings me songs, however, only when the song is playing in the background.

now the thing about my manpod is that he has a certain kind of music stored in him.  and this is not the kind of music any husband would be proud of, unless, you were a husband born and raised in europe, germany in particular.  germans love bad music.  they love techno.  they love one-hit wonders.  they love eurotrash.  and thomas is no exception.

the other day, he put it on one of those tv channels that plays music while we cooked dinner and did the dishes.  during this time, thomas was able to identify all the 80s singers and songs.  now i am not talking u2 here.  i am not talking michael jackson or madonna.  nothing that easy.  i am talking about the slow song, one-hit wonder, can sing along to the lyrics of the guy who had a hit for one day back in 86 that people know they've heard, but don't remember anything about it song.  and.  and.  and, he can. sing. along.

i should have known what i was getting into when i found out his first concert was roxette.
