this song is about coming out of the Status Quo (i think).

If you guys haven't heard of Jay Brannan, you should absolutely check him out. I'm serious, just one play and this has shot to being my favourite song of all time.

Lyrics:
26-hour day
music and lyrics by jay brannan

once upon our time
in a land far gone
where hate crime’s enforced by state crime
even though they say the land of the free was made for both you and me

well, the girl next door might have cancer
and the hospital nearby’s got the answer, but
she’s never been there, can’t afford healthcare
in the arms of the home of the brave, she’s carried to her grave

marionettes for presidents, strung out on wars
and we’re not sure who’s american anymore
division of church and state is my kind of separatism
spreading god’s love through scare tactics is casual terrorism
and if abortion’s murder, let’s strip that right away, and
who gave women the right to vote anyway?

so many babies
brought into the world today
amongst so many maybes
like maybe they’ll feel loved, be provided for, and have a place
to stay
but instead of placing them in loving stable homes
that might not fill the conservative bill
they’re tossed around the foster system like a hot potato
instead of making friends of dorothy
they’re thrown to the tornado

death warrants signed by murderers
who came to power through the back door
is this democracy or a monarchy
what do we hold elections for
you write your personal agenda on a post-it note
and leave the constitution lying on the bathroom floor

this is for the world trade center, for columbine
for oklahoma city and the lost and lonely friends of mine
for ireland, iran, iraq
and the suffering caused by the indian ocean’s attack
for falun gong and the berlin wall
the homeless, the hungry, and slaves to drugs and alcohol
indian, australian, african slaves
native americans whose amber waves of grain
were melted down into white men’s riches
victims of war and for salem’s witches
for boys who were told to act more like boys
and girls who were told to only play with girl toys
the voiceless, forgotten, plagued by disease
god help us please, please, please

maybe one day i’ll stop alternating
between thirteen hours of eating and thirteen hours of sleeping
and do something about it with what i guess could have been a
twenty-six hour day

I have loved brannan since I saw ShortBus. If you have not seen the movie he did a lot of the music for the movie including the main theme song. Good movie! Good music pick Sabazius!

So, working from home today and trying to stay focused I am listening to...

DJ Tiesto & Daft Punk... and one of my favorites... HHUK

DJ Tiesto Info
DJ Tiesto Channel

Daft Punk Info
Daft Punk Alive Video

With some Smashing Pumpkins, Queen & others thrown in for variety! I am sure that by the end of the day I will be listening to some Opera Trance to relax... so thats my crazy eclectic music habit!

Speaking of Daft Punk, my friend, Little Mike did a phone taping of a performance at the out door Greek Theatre in Berkeley, July 2007:

a bit of an oldie but one of my favorites

close your eyes
let me touch you now
let me give you something
that is real
close the door
leave your fears behind
let me give you
what you're giving me
you are the only thing
that makes me want to live at all
when i am with you
there's no reason to pretend
that when i am with you
i feel flames again
just put me inside you
i would never ever leave
just put me inside you
i would never ever leave
you

I think THIS is the funnies shit ever!

Something about the way you taste
Makes me want to clear my throat
There’s a message to your movements
That really gets my goat
I looked for sniffy linings
But you’re rotten to the core
I’ve had just about all I can take
You know I can’t take it no more
Got a gut feeling
Centered ’round long time ago
On your ability to torment
Then you took your tongs of love
And stripped away my garment
Got a gut feeling

Slap your mammy down
Slap your pappy down again
Oh move it up and down now
Oh move it all around now

a song from the film Juno, all the songs are quite good, but this is like my favourite one.
