And when I say I like a rap song, you’ll have to listen to it. It’s “Handlebars” by Flobots:
Watch the video, read the lyrics.
It’s not your usual “Yes We Can” bullshit coming from your usual “I Got It From My Mama” guys.
Remember: everything is less of what it is than what it suggests.

the guy who put his hands on you
has got nothing to do with me
and the bruises that you feel will heal
and i hope you come around
’cause we’re missing you.
This is amazing; I’ve never heard jazz with lyrics like this. Look below: did you think those were lyrics?
It’s poetic, and when you listen to Kurt Elling sing it, you can’t help but wonder just how he sang it, and what inspired him to write it. Brilliant. And there are literary and jazz references inside [...]
There’s nothing I could say
To make you try to feel OK
And nothing you could do
To stop me feeling the way I do
And if the chance should happen
That I never see you again
Just remember that I’ll always love you
—Badly Drawn Boy, “A Minor Incident”
I’ve been looking for this song for a long, long time.
so many years from now and far away
I guess you don´t even know my name
so many years when there was nothing to say
but I get arranged somehow
we´re not gonna change it now
as long as you´re here there´s something to die for
my love
as long as you´re [...]
While songs are terrible teachers on the subject of love, they can be accurate descriptors of mood. Here I will do no more than to document my mood.
Journey into my mind. I’m betting that you’ve never heard any of these guys before.

Here’s Radiohead’s “All I Need”, track 5 from their latest album, In Rainbows. The music sounds like it came out of Fight Club’s soundtrack, the kind of music you’d listen to when you’re feeling—I could only think of this word—”dangerous”.
I’m the next act
waiting in the wings
I’m an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all the [...]

Water water on the seeds
To my left they rose and leaf
To my right cross Seven Seas
Maybe maybe they’ll stay true
My seeds will cross and then take root
And leave you to an empty room
Lonely lonely that is you
Lonely lonely that is you
Paper paper obsolete
How will you reach out to me
I thought you’d ask me not [...]
UPDATE: Patched source now available.
UPDATE: An Ubuntu Gutsy version is now available.
Oh. My. God.
If my senses serve me well, I have just successfully compiled Last Exit version 5 with the ’save patch’. Even got it nicely wrapped in a .deb (Ubuntu/Debian) package. If my senses serve me well.
Things to take note:
I didn’t create Last Exit. [...]
(oooooh, did I just sound radical again? ahhhhh)
Knives Out has got to be one of my favourite songs by Radiohead. I just rediscovered when I got myself the Amnesiac album. Enjoy.
