I’m not altogether convinced that today wasn’t just Monday all over again. Certainly it’s possible that today was this mythical creature called “Tuesday,” but I want to see the evidence before I’m convinced of that.
Day: June 22, 2010
Song of the day
Today, just because it came up in my shuffle, it’s “Let’s Get Out of This Country” by Camera Obscura. As it happens, it’s another title track, from their 2006 album of the same name. It’s a catchy tune, but I think it’s the lyrics that I really like:
What does this city have to offer me?
Everyone else thinks it’s the bee’s knees
What does this city have to offer me?
I just can’t see
I just can’t see
Another song from the same album, “Lloyd, I’m Ready to Be Heartbroken,” was a contender for my recent Band Songs mix — it’s a response to Lloyd Cole’s song “Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken” — but it seemed a little too obscure. (It’s only now, in double-checking this, that even I have heard Cole’s original.)
Anyway, here’s the song:
