‘A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall’ September 4, 2006

I am in that reflective on pop culture mode right now, so to continue. I adore Bob Dylan, since I discovered his music at the impressionable age of 15, thanks to the credits at the end of 1979’s More American Graffiti and “Like A Rolling Stone.” Here’s 1963’s “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall:” (more…)

All at Once (It’s Not Important) April 28, 2006

Song lyrics from The Secret Machines. Their album, "Ten Silver Drops" is out in the U.S. now so as a break I post these lyrics. By Monday I should have a couple interesting pieces for you to read, one on death as a business in America and another on some myths of the Drug War, perhaps a bigger waste of money than the Iraq War.

Who Killed Davey Moore? February 9, 2006

I have been thinking a lot about violent sports so in lieu of a regular post . . .

Who killed Davey Moore,

At not gettin’ their money’s worth.
It’s too bad he had to go,
But there was a pressure on me too, you know.
It wasn’t me that made him fall.
No, you can’t blame me at all.”

Give me Ghostbusters 3 or give me death February 5, 2006

Invisible man? Sleeping in your bed?

Who you gonna call?

(Ray Parker Jr.) Err . . . I mean Ghostbusters?

Good song December 13, 2005

The Strokes have a new album due out in January. I think these lyrics for “On the Other Side” are correct, if you see any mistakes let me know.
UPDATE: posted lyrics to Ask Me Anything below these, if you found them congrats, again they may or may not be correct. These are only as good as my source, which isn’t the best journalistically but damn it I want to post some Strokes lyrics. (more…)
