I wrote a long review/article on Clap Your Hands Say Yeah as well as some observations about music geekdom. I didn't want to take up too much front page space so that's why it's a journal entry...

and she said, "no... you do it. I can't think of anything to say."





...but does anything really need to be said?

Last night I went to a wedding, and this happened:


Also, I can't walk or sit upright very well today, as I vaguely recall falling on my tailbone after losing my footing while trying to kick someone in the balls. Drunk Me really has to learn to stop fighting boys when I am intoxicated.

Hi, I've drunk an entire botrtel of riesling. How are you, Killoggsers?

This is probably the best song from the new White Stripes album. I can never listen to it just once:

Take, Take, Take
by the White Stripes

I was sitting there in a comfortable chair
And that was all that I needed
Then my friend offered me a drink for us to share
And that was all that I needed
Well, then I felt at ease
But then I'm not too hard to please
I guess you couldn't call me greedy
Then I was shocked to look up
And see rita hayworth there in a place so seedy
She walked into the bar with her long, red, curly hair
And that was all that I needed
And I said to my friend, "good god, we're lucky men just to even see her"

Take, take, take
Take, take, take
Take, take, take

And I could not resist, I just had to get close to her
And that was all that I needed
I walked and loomed around her table for a while
And that was all that I needed
Then I said, "i hate to bug you, ma'am, but can I have your autograph?"
And that was all that I needed
She pressed her lips against a white piece of paper
And that was all that I needed
Then I saw what she wrote, my heart is in my mouth
And that was all that I needed
Then she handed it to me, and I think that she could see
That that was all that I needed
I started to walk away but then I remembered 'hey, I forgot to get a picture'
So I asked her one more time, "could I have another favor?"
That was all that I needed
She was kind and posed with me
Then I knew my friend would see my celebrity meeting

Take, take, take
Take, take, take
Take, take, take

She turned and said to me, "I need to go to sleep,"
And it seemed so mean
It's almost as if she could not appreciate how cool I was being
She said, "good night" and walked away
And I didn't know what to say
I just couldn't believe it
Well, it's just not fair
I want to get a piece of hair
That was all that I needed
Or maybe a kiss on the cheek
I wouldn't wash it for a week
That would be all that I needed
But she didn't even care
That I was even there
What a horrible feeling
