I know you're dying baby, and I know you know it too.

The other day I was driving in my car, listening to my iPhone. I had my in-car stereo turned off, along with my lights and heater fan, because I was trying to conserve gas. That's why I had my iPhone playing. I wasn't using headphones, just the built in speaker. I had it on shuffle, one of the songs that came up on the play list was Slim Slow Slider by Van Morrison. It got me thinking about my dog Freckles. It was one of the songs that I listened to the day that she died. it got me thinking about some other songs that make me think about her. I used to think that her favourite song was Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones. What led me to believe that it was her favourite, was that every time that song way playing she seemed to really react to the "still I'm gonna miss you." it always happened so in my mind I just accepted the idea that Ruby Tuesday was her favourite. Another song I listened to the day she died, which was January 12, 2010, was Shine a Light by the Rolling Stones.

Here's a story

Okay, so here's a story: at some point last spring I went to Into the Music and ended up buying a few records. To be honest, it's not that unusual, I think there were actually a couple of occasions this happened last spring; however, I am thinking of a specific trip to Into the Music. On this specific occasion I am thinking of I happened to buy two Byrds records. I believe one of them was the Notorious Byrd Brothers, and other one was a first edition copy of the 5th Dimension. I have never heard either of the albums, even now that I own them. I don't have a record player in my house in the city. It's at my family cottage, so I keep all my records there. It becomes a problem because I never have time to go out there anymore. Last summer I only went for one trip. I forgot to bring the records. I know right. I have like a dozen sitting on a shelf in the city. Anyway, I really just told this whole story cause I want to do a blog post on the Byrds. I mean they're pretty epic. They have like 12 albums, and they've gone through a ton of members. That makes for an interesting history. I really wanted to make this blog post longer but I can't find enough time in the day. so I'm gonna keep it shorter and list off a few essential songs. I'll feel a whole lot better, Set you free this time, Eight Miles High, Have you seen her face, Nothing was Delivered (this one's by Bob Dylan). Check them out they're sweet I swear.

Shake Some Action.

I have plans to write a longer post next week or the week after. I haven't got around to it, because I've just been spending a lot of time with a large pile of homework. When I was thinking of something to post here The Flaming Groovies just came to mind. So I figured I'd link to a couple of their songs. There's an unconfirmed report, that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards said that their album Teenage Head was better than, Sticky Fingers. I don't know if it's better, but it's pretty good.

Meet the new boss

I just got back from voting. It was pretty swell. Once I had cast my ballot and walked out of the elementary school where voting was being held, and started playing music on my iPhone again. Randomly The Who's Won't Get Fooled Again began playing. I thought it was pretty sweet.
