You know’s what great? Going through old CDs and finding stuff you have never, ever listened to before. Slinky Girl by 311 is my anthem of the moment, and despite the fact that the particular copy I have was downloaded by yours truly five years ago (as of the 12th of September), it’s all new to me. Isn’t that fantastic?
Even greater than finding retro-but-new music is finding amazingly kick ass new stuff. A few weeks back, I downloaded Somebody Told Me by The Killers. It took me a while to get into it, but now I can’t get enough. However, I am a little confused. For those of you who are not familiar with the song, the chorus goes as follows (ahem): “Somebody told me you had a boyfriend, who looked like a girlfriend that I had in February of last year.” Let’s try to figure that one out, shall we?
The singer found out that Person-X has a new boyfriend. This new boyfriend resembles an ex-girlfriend of the singer. Therefore, either the singer was dating a very manly and/or androgynous woman, or Person-X is dating a very girly and/or androgynous man. The final possibility is that the new boyfriend was a girl at one point, but has since sex-swapped. I am currently waiting the video to see if it gives us any hints. And…it doesn’t. Plus, the quality was really crappy. I guess this is a mystery that will go unsolved.
Somebody told me you have a boyfriend…

Thats a kick ass song and now I can download it since I now know the name of the band. I hear it everyday at work.

Pugs
Your both welcome for the song.
Mark@Couch
Actually, Pugs, I downloaded it about a month before you mentioned it. From Winamp.com.
Mark@Couch. No Pants.
Tawnya did show up, happily. I grr’d at her.
Pugs
ummm then why did you download it off me again when I played it for you?.
Mark@Couch
Because I forgot that I had it already. Once I got home, I realized that I already had a copy. By the way, the rest of the album is a lot slower and not nearly as catchy.

Dear world,
Please do yourself a favour and get some tunes by Tsunami Bomb.
Sincerely;
Mark

Good song, I heard it about 5 times a day at work on the radio though so I am pretty sick of it.
