“Dancing on God’s Thumb” - Robyn Hitchcock
I don’t mind walking through the wind and the rain
I don’t mind waiting when they cancel the train
But when I don’t have love, I stand and complain
I hate everything that I seeThis is pretty much my life motto.

I was going to post this yesterday to go with the song post of the same name, but I got distracted when I started snooping on my neighbors (who were fighting AGAIN).
I bought this at Media Play (because for a large chain, they had a surprisingly good amount of imports) so I could have the same songs that were on the K records 7” (which I have and should scan in sometime), but what really interested/bugged me was the little “For Promotional Use Only • Not For Sale” mention inside. I paid $10 for this (I think). Not that minded, but it was just…odd.
I kinda miss that store. Near the end, they had walls of bargain bin cds and I used to stand there for hours, going through them all. I got a R.E.M. interview cd for $5. Can’t complain.
OK, Counting Crows, wtf is this? Underwater Sunshine is such a blatant rip-off of Underwater Moonlight (The Soft Boys).. but then you put a lightbulb on the guy’s head? Really?
Really?
This aggression will not stand!
