So lately people have been asking a lot about what I'm listening to (something about my hearing). Pops and I have been exploring music together. He's hopeless as a dancer but I actually like his singing. Mommy is ok, but her lyric issues are too much; "Cartwheels on a Gravel Road" sounds painful but "Scuse me while I kiss this guy" is truly sacrilege. Moms, I love you but apparently both you and Woody Harrelson can't hear Jimi.
So far my (admittdly eclectic) top five:
5) Waiting on an Angel, Ben Harper (dad's been working on this one and it shows)
4) Seether, Veruca Salt (sometimes a girls just gotta rage...'round here the seether is not Louise)
3) Beverly Hills, Weezer (well, I like Undone - the sweater song but dad's voice has too much grit to pull that off "whoo-e-oohh-ee-ooh" hurts my ears)
2) Hey Girl, OAR (Longer jam that gets me ready for sleep)
1) Learning to Fly, Tom Petty (Sorry Uncle Steve but Auntie Beth is right) or possibly Ladybug Picnic from Sesame Street
I have to mention some of our local artists. First, from the old school, the Dead Milkmen Punk Rock Girl. Yes, this was and hopefully will be dad's only publicly performed karaoke (Dad, remember you're not just embarassing yourself anymore). Another local I like is Erik Mitchell, I can't count that high yet, but 21 Blackbirds is dark and cool. Dad prefers The House of Osiris but this is my blog. Check the big E out at www.mitchellmusic.com. Yo, E, when are we going get some new stuff?
