The Killers & another odd meandering

Dear Lloyd,

The Killers are an awesome band if for no other reason than "Somebody Told Me." As many cool bands are, they were intro'd to me by Aimee, and their CD is frickin' great. It's going on my list of CD's to buy when I've got the moolah. This is the list:

1) Get Behind Me Satan - The White Stripes

2) X & Y - Coldplay

3) Hot Fuss - The Killers

4) Live Series #1 - Dave Matthews Band

5) Demon Days - Gorillaz

6) Fever To Tell - The Yeah Yeah Yeah's

etc etc etc.... Here is half of why "Somebody Told Me" is so cool:

Breaking my back just to know your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
I'm breaking my back just to know your name
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential

Ready? Let's roll onto something new
Taking its toll and I'm leaving without you
Ready? Let's roll onto something new
But heaven ain't close in a place like this
Anything goes but don't blink you might miss
Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this
I said heaven ain't close in a place like this
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight
Never thought I'd let a rumour ruin my moonlight

Well somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidentialI've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

Pace yourself from me
I said maybe baby please
But I just don't know now

Somebody told me
You had a boyfriend
Who looks like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
It's not confidential
I've got potential
A rushin', a rushin' around

The other half is the music. Rolling Stone calls it "gender bending wit." I don't know what to call it apart from "fucking cool." I've been listening to it back to back for a few days now.

In other related news: Luke rules, and here's why. I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing to this scope and magnitude, but it's an uphill battle. I've really let myself lapse in the writing department. I think that's why I like this old shack. It's helping me to be interested in things, and want to comment on them even if it's nothing more than copying and pasting song lyrics and screwing around with pictures.

I'm currently working on a short story which will be posted here once it's done. It's the story of an old man who lives his life a certain way, ever cognizant of the fact that things could be slightly better, but unwilling to make that change for fear that it might not be all he wanted. It also has a metaphoric river! (hey, what river isn't?)
