Don't put me in a frame on the mantel.

I took meterology classes in college as part of requirements for my environmental science major, but I still get confused when I see a severe weather alert for a flood warning when it's been sunny all day and will continue to be clear through the night.

One of my favorite bittersweet summer songs is Shawn Colvin's "Twilight" and I knew it was a cover of song by The Band but couldn't remember ever hearing the original, so I downloaded it and....yeah, not so much. I'll stick with Shawn, who doesn't do any faux reggae guitar.

Speaking of covers of rock bands popular in the 70s, how come everyone always does "Landslide"? Can't I get some "Silver Spring" up in here?

I love Landslide. I may, um, actually like the Billy Corgan version better than the original.

I love Landslide too. Even that version. Even the Dixie Chicks version, although the video for it is supremely frightening to me. But there are other songs too, people!

silver spring is harder my friend. you kill me. i've been crying to your freakin cd all morning. "i will follow you into the dark?" are you trying to kill me?

and the CD will hopefully make you laugh a couple times too. but yeah, it's kinda weepy. but they are redemptive tears!

Sweetheart, you know you only have to make the request.... :-) Maybe next time we sing I'll dust that one off.

Hey, you know what might be fun though? It's kind of a radical idea, considering the context in which we know each other, but I was thinking it might be nice to get together sometime soon, somewhere besides Sidekicks or Circuit, and just like, talk, or something...people do that, right? ;-)
