Interests:SONG TO GRITS
When my mind's unsettled,
When I don't feel spruce,
When my nerves get frazzled,
When my flesh gets loose --
What knits
Me back together's grits.
Grits with gravy

that'd be the brecon beacons in wales. but i hear it's gonna be freezin'. so if it's gonna be freezin', then i'm hoping it's gonna be like this:
whatever the case, you can rest assured the whole time i'm going to be yelling at the top of my lungs "SAVE THE WALES" and "WALES, IT'S ONLY A TOUCH SMALLER THAN NEW JERSEY!"
i dont have a top 10 this year. i feel aggrieved that what i think is the best album of 2008 has been completely left off the two lists to come out so far on xanga. i care about those who have already posted their lists, but am saddened by their oversight. i blame adam (not you dirty) and the apple, not my fellow compadres on the AWTAOOBIRA blogrings.
so, here is my top 10 corrective for 2008, in one particular order. this album will be reappearing in 2 years on my top 10 of the first decade of the 3rd millennium after Christ. it was released August 6, 2008 in Norman, Oklahoma.
so some of you may remember my post about gram parsons' cough at 2:30 in "christine's song":
the cough is in the music on the vid, but he doesn't act it out.
well, it turns out the cough is an integral part of parsons' music. it's a bit like playing an old metallica or amy grant cassette tape backwards and it telling you to piss in the corpse of a dead dog or go to sunday school. i'm not sure what the cough means yet, but it's definitely there.
check out "hickory wind" on the byrds' sweetheart of the rodeo cd. between 18-19 seconds in. parsons is singing, panned straight down the center, but whoever is singing panned right (if i have my earphones on right) coughs. plain as day. and nowhere near any backing vocals! why did they leave it in? who knows, but if you play it backwards on a full moon while playing "christine's song" forwards, aligning the coughs up so that they happen at the same time, the lyrics will tell you not to do drugs out in the desert during the 70s.
i couldn't find a version of hickory wind on youtube that has the cough in it. sorry.
in a continuation of windy's rip-off (sup rydawg) music posts, chinup has suggested that the flaming lips' "fight test" is a rip-off (sup rydawg) of cat stevens' "father and son".
here is the evidence:
one thing's for sure, wayne looks a lot like yusuf before he was called yusuf. there's also some major similarities between the videos. weird.
one other thing's for sure, with PHIL at least you didn't get a rip-off (sup rydawg).
wup?
**EDIT** turns out there was a lawsuit over this, which was uncontentious and resulted in the lips splitting the royalties with yusuf. so in the end, yusuf didn't get a rip-off either (sup rydawg).
True
