More songs = More fun?

All apologies for the lengthy absence. My eternal quest for employment has occupied entirely too much of my time as of late. I can't imagine how full my schedule will become if I actually get a job. I cringe at the thought. Here's what I'm listening to as I strive towards greatness:

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

Really, who doesn't like Cee-lo? Well, after his appearance in the latest Black Eyed Peas video, I don't. Seriously though, he's always tried to distance himself from mainstream rappers. He may be considered the poor-man's Andre 3000. Well, considering my current financial state, I'll take Cee-lo. Gnarls Barkley is his new project with producer-of-the-minute DJ Danger Mouse. Now, I've never been a huge fan of Danger Mouse. I thought the Grey Album was completely over-hyped. But he's growing on me.... especially after this catchy tune.

Crazy

From one catchy tune to another, this song has pretty much been on the repeat in my mind for a while now. The piano goes up, and then it goes down. Sorry, I was distracted for a minute. I especially enjoy the song's triumphant finale, where it slows to its eventual end. I really need to get this album...

The Walkmen - The Rat

This song ROCKS! Thats right, it ROCKS! I'm so pumped about this song, mostly because it is so unforgiving in the manner in which it ROCKS! When ever I listen to this song, I open up a can of the ol' brewski, chug her down, and then yell at the wall. All this, because it ROCKS so hard!

P.S. - I may have oversold it.

The Rat


Beck - Lost Cause

This is my official "Good Morning World!" song. I play it in the morning, that is. A little acoustic diddy to crawl out of bed to. Does it really need anymore explaining? I think not.

A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relaxation

"Relax yourself, you're a piece of the plan." This song is such a classic. Definitely my favourite Tribe song. Listen, I could go on and on about it all day, but I won't... or will I? No, I won't. Sorry if you were eagerly waiting for me to.
