Music of the Moment

1.) Still Not a Player - Incubus Feat. Big Pun
Brandon Boyd, hard rock-rappin-scratchin... really what else do you need?

2.) Like I Love You (Basement Jaxx Vocal Mix) - Justin Timberlake
Hotness, I should be working out listening to this song

3.) To Love Somebody - Clay Aiken
Performed on last night's American Idol: frickin' amazing! I'm achin' for Aiken all over -- mold me, Clay!

4.) More Than This - Norah Jones
She likes to do covers, and rightly so, Norah is one class act

5.) Die Another Day - Madonna
America hates it, I love it ... 5 months later!

6.) Just Missed the Train - Kelly Clarkson
Clay all the way, but Kelly will always be my American Idol! And I'm just catching the drunkenness references, good call K-dogg!

7.) Lifelines & Freedom - D8
I only have 30 seconds of each song, but they're amazing. Ricky Spero, I don't like you like that, but I'd make out with your arrangements... hmmm, double entendre -- eep!

8.) Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
Next year's On Tap senior dance -- too appropriate! "Everything Old Is New Again": good Spring show 2004 theme, yes?

9.) Don't Let the Bastards Grind You Down - The Toasters
An oldie but a goodie, introduced to me by a one Miss Margaret (Soon-to-be-Darcher) Harris. I play this song from the rooftops in honor of the bureaucracy of Middlebury campus, championed by the Finance Committee who won't let us use our own money. And then refuse to give us more that we can not use because we didn't spend it all this year. Thanks, FuCkers... (Whoa, that suddenly got bitter, hehehehe angel laugh)

10.) Pop - *NSync
Here's a novel idea:
"Let's get the girls of On Tap to dance for the Brainerd commons dinner."
"What will they dance on, crazy poetry lady? The floor's carpeted."
"Give 'em plywood, they'll make do."
"Check."
In the words of some Conrad character (Kurtz?), "The horror! The horror!"

And now I'm off to watch someone get booted off American Idol... I'm thinkin' it's gonna be Kim Locke even though she's a good kid; she just can't compete with the Marine fan-base... It's one more mafia in America. I myself prefer the Velvet Mafia... on some occasions the Jewish Mafia (but only if Adam is in my dance class wearing sunglasses for no apparent reason...).

Hasta luego, amigo/as!
