Just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem.

Tim, wish you were born a girl
So I could've been your boyfriend
I know it's not possible now
I just never met a girl I like half as much as you

And we could lay around in bed, stay there all day
Or at least until the afternoon
And I could make you spaghetti with tomato sauce
With just a touch of oregano and a parsley stem

And then when you got sick
I could take the day off work
I could've made you chicken soup
And we could watch soap operas
Oh, those TV dramas!
I could catch your cold
And you could take care of me

If I could've met you at school, or met you at work
It would have changed everything
Those years of losing, confusion and insecurity
They would have been shared
They would have been easier

Tim, wish you were born a girl
So I could've been your fiancé
I'm not saying you can't be all these things for me
But it's just not the same because you're a man
And so am I


Just thought I'd share with you guys this song, Tim I Wish You Were Born A Girl by of Montreal.
They're the cutest lyrics I've heard in a while.
I strongly advise you to listen to it.
It made my fall in love with of Montreal all over again.
I was trying to play this on my viola but it didn't really work.
Maybe if i get that ukelele for my birthday...
Yeah it's my birthday soon. :)

The importance of band names.

I've been thinking lately about good/bad band names and how they help bands that are just starting off.

Do interesting band names attract listeners?
What makes a good band name different from a bad one?

Thought I might "analize" a few bands with weird names.

Natalie Portman's Shaved Head- I've never listened to their, but I decided to dislike them after Perez Hilton blogged about them.

!!!- I admit I only decided to listen to their music because of the name, but they are suprisingly good.

The The- Never heard their music, but I've always been thinking to because the name made me laugh so much. [Just googled them, and Johnny Marr from the Smiths is a former member!]

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead- The name rocks, and the band rocks even harder.

Dananananaykroyd- As in Dan Aykroyd? Gold.

Nickelback- Apparently they got their name because one guy's brother worked at a coffee shop and the coffee costed $1.95 so people who paid $2 got "a nickel back". Amazingly, the band sucks even more than the origin of the name.

Air France- Kinda sucks if a plane with your band name tragically crashes without any survivors. Good music though.

Girl Talk- Girl Talk wins for choosing a name to embarrass the musicians he played with. And who cares how many mainstream tweens listen to his music, I still love it.

Fuck... I'm Dead- Grindcore isn't really my thing and apparently their music sucks, but that name is just hilarious.

Tim and Sam's Tim and the Sam Band with Tim and Sam- Cute name, cute band, cute music.



I know I've listened to a few bands because of their name, I think most people have.

But I guess its probably not extremely important.
Look at Oasis, Korn and Spoon. They seem to be quite popular and their band names suck.
