The B-52's still have it.
The first single from their new album, both titled Funplex, is great! It's a rockin' dance song, but the lyrics are a smart commentary on our obsessive compulsion with acquiring things.
Take a listen and let me know what you think.
If you have a PC running Vista, I pity you. We have one PC at work with Vista. I installed SP1 thinking it might help some of the issues. I. Was. Wrong.
Avoid Vista.
If you are already trapped and can't switch to Linux or back to XP, avoid SP1 at all costs right now.
It royally screwed the printer drivers. And then I had to reinstall the printer on every other PC that prints to that Vista box.
Today has been fun. Not.
What the Beach Test Says About You |
 You like people, but you're careful about who you get close to. Friendship is important to you... so important that you aren't just friends with anyone. You fall in love with ease and confidence. Even if you've had bad experiences in the past, each new love is a reason to start completely over. You are deeply passionate about several things in your life. You're not passionate about much... and the few passions you have are truly obsessions. Your sense of humor is intellectual and obscure. Only really well educated people get your jokes. |
You Are a Little Negative... |
 You can be negative from time to time, but you rarely go overboard. You have a realistic view of the world, and most people appreciate your honest insights. Like everyone else, you have your darker moods. But when you're feeling super negative, you keep your feelings to yourself. |
My music tastes have gone on a strange journey recently, and I seem to be stuck on songs from a few Broadway musicals, particularly Wicked, Rent, and Sweeney Todd. The songwriting for all of those shows is strong, and certain songs seem to speak to me. I love the underlying themes of all three shows, but today I want to point out Season's of Love from Rent. It's a song that reminds us to measure our lives in love instead of all the other insignificant things that we deal with every day. Our friends and families are more important than all that and they deserve more than we sometimes give them.
Watch the video and read along with the lyrics and allow the song to speak to you.
