New theme song
Van Halen, Jackson Browne and Heart have all shot them down, so maybe it's time McCain/Palin tried another theme song. This one should fit:

He's 67 today? Really?
Man, they're all getting old. And so am I, I guess.

Instead of live blogging tonight's eclipse
Which was pretty cool, BTW, here are some moon songs.
Even recorded on a handheld camcorder she still has a voice that would make bishop kick a hole in a stained glass window.
I was on may way out of a hotel room in Hawaii in 1999 when this stopped me dead in my tracks. "Holy crap, is that Nick Drake in a TV commercial?" I don't always like hearing favorite songs used to sell products but this was too beautiful not to love.
Some people claim that a recording just can't do justice to a live performance. I never believed that until I saw Neil Young do a solo acoustic show. This song in particular.
One of the top five shows I've ever seen was a double bill with these guys and New Order at Northrup in about 1986. I had to buy both t-shirts. Ironic to finally see a video after all these years since I discovered the band when I saw an ad for "Ocean Rain" in Rolling Stone that (taking a shot at the then new MTV) said something along the lines of "In a world of music for the eyes Echo & the Bunnymen make music for the ears." True enough. It's a great song and a lame video.

A brief musical interlude
I kind of rediscovered this song when TBogg posted the video a few days ago.
Is it just me or is there a completely charming optimism (a "romantic readiness" as Nick said about Gatsby) in this song, which is after all basically about writing a personals ad? A stunningly beautiful voice doesn't hurt either. Wish I had come across this a couple months ago as it would have been perfect for some early summer day.
& it’s you and me in the summertime/ We’ll be hand in hand down in the park/ With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye/ & all the sunshine banishes the dark
