I am breaking ALL of the rules (but not really, probably)

Jan 7

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HNgLBWVurw] Rules are meant to be broken. Or maybe I am just too lazy to follow them.

So this post has nothing to do with any related DailyPost topic thingamagigs from Wordpress (or does this count?)

I probably spelled thingamajig wrong (how do you spell that word, anyway?)

And I know that - at least on twitter - music is usually reserved for Music Mondays...but because I can't wait for Monday, Happy Music Friday!

I don't know about you, but my Fridays are just as - if not more - crazy than Mondays. It's my day to tie up loose ends from the work week. It can get kinda crazy, finalizing last minute design work, re-organizing art supplies and lesson plans from teaching, driving to and fro across the county, spotting plant material at job sites that needed to go in yesterday, going for end of week bank run, and if I'm lucky, setting a lunch date with a girlfriend or my mama...you name it, I'll squeeze it in.

But, as you probably already know, music always makes the day flow so much better.

(Oh, geez, flashback!) Did I ever mention that back in the day, in a land far, far away, I used to be a DJ for Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo? I was studying Mass Media/Journalism at the time...and I was the only girl DJ (I know, right? High five). Funny how some things in life come full circle.

So here it is. Something to inspire (or distract) you...a little ditty from one of my fave, fave FAVORITE artists, Pheonix. A cool acoustic version of '1901' to start your weekend off right...

And if you haven't seen it yet, don't forget to check out the trailer for the film, Somewhere, featuring music by Phoenix. Enjoy the tunes!

1901 from album wolfgang amadeus:

Counting all different ideas drifting away Past and present, they don't matter, now the future's sorted out Watch her moving in elliptical patterns Think it's not what you say, what you say is way too complicated For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out

It's twenty seconds until the last call You're going, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey" Lie down you know it's easy Like we did it over summer long And I'll be anything you ask and more You're going, "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey" It's not a miracle we needed No, I wouldn't let you think so Fold it, fold it, fold it, fold it

Girlfriend, oh your girlfriend is drifting away Past and present, 1855-1901 Watch them built up a meteor tower Think it's not going to stay anyway, think it's overrated For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out
