I am a big fan of Bloodhound Gang. They had two big radio hits — “Fire Water Burn” (1996) and “The Bad Touch” (2000) — so I guess it’s not fair to call them one-hit wonders, but generally they’re not exactly “pop” music. Most of their songs are painfully sophomoric — “The Ballad of Chasey Lain“, “I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks”, and “Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo” come to mind. (One of my favorites is “A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When The Stripper Is Crying”, although I don’t play that one in the office very often.)
If you can somehow manage to ignore almost all of the lyrics, the song Pennsylvania has a refrain that I think is actually pretty beautiful:
You are the heart dotting “i”
In the word “apologize”
Scribbled drunk on a postcard
Sent from somewhere volcanoes are
I am the heart with no name
Airbrushed on the license plate
Of a Subaru that was
Registered in Pennsylvania

It’s been ages since I posted an mp3 for you. Here’s a great one for today »
Song of the Moment
Yes, I know not always. But some days it would just be nice if you felt like every now and then you could.

If you’re a long-time reader you’ll know that I have a penchant for periodically posting songs for you to purloin download. I call these the “Songs of the Moment”. The only catch is that you have to download it and listen to learn what the song is. This one’s a gem I just got today: Grab the New Song!

I seem to have a hyper-developed corny gland, and I blame my mother for that character flaw. The current Song of the Moment - and my new personal theme song for this week (month? year? decade?) reflects that. Listen why dontcha?
