The Good, The Bad & The Ozzy

The GOOD:
The Soft Drugs - discovered on this blog, who reached out to me re: Wintersleep. The Soft Drugs is brought to you by Pedro The Lion's other half, TW Walsh. Check out the songs on the blog player and read about "why they don't suck" here: http://soundsuck.com/the-soft-drugs/
(Thanks Ryan!)

The BAD:
Finger Eleven's "Paralyzer" - Now I try to use this blog for good. For praise and not for bashing. and NOT that I'm bashing, but I simply can't get over this song. I heard it on the radio on Saturday and couldn't believe the lyrics. It made me really miss rainbow butt monkeys (or maybe I miss 1995?). Come on, Finger... what's going on here? "i should just stay home, if one thing really means one"? what does that even MEAN?

Lyrics:
I hold on so nervously / To me and my drink / I wish it was cooling me / But so far, has not been good / It’s been shitty / And I feel awkward, as I should / This club has got to be / The most pretentious thing / Since I thought you and me / Well I am imagining / A dark lit place /Or your place or my place

Chorus:
Well I’m not paralyzed / But, I seem to be struck by you / I want to make you move / Because you’re standing still / If your body matches / What your eyes can do / You’ll probably move right through / Me on my way to you

I hold out for one more drink / Before I think / I’m looking too desperately / But so far has not been fun / I should just stay home / If one thing really means one / This club will hopefully /
Be closed in three weeks / That would be cool with me / Well I’m still imagining / A dark lit place / Or your place or my place

Song:



Rainbow Butt Monkeys!




The OZZY:
I got some last minute tickets to Ozzy's second, and probably last, Halifax show tonight. I know he's old. I know it's Monday. I know, I know, I know... But it's Ozzy freaking Osbourne. You'd go too and you know it.
