this is one of the best things i've ever heard [you should read & listen]: http://www.lawrence.com/news/2005/may/06/childrensmusic/
if you don't want to read it, i'll summarize: the new amsterdams (the singer of the get up kids's acoustic band) are releasing a cd for kids and it's really cute!
you should especially download "we can all get along with dinosaurs (demo)". it's so amazing. here are the lyrics:
two happy dinosaurs are walking along, singing this song, laughing like no one's business.
one purple dinosaur holding the hand of a pink dino friend, everyone else was frightened.
people don't know they wouldn't hurt a fly.
one man whose voice was loud said dinos are bound to trample his house, and they should be told to leave here.
one dinosaur did speak, he started to say "don't push us away, cause we don't have any intention of wrecking your home,
we'd like a place of our own."
the people understood that they weren't afraid, so the dinosaurs stayed, and they bought a house on the corner.
two happy dinosaurs open their hearts to all different sorts, and everyone learned a lesson.
that though we're all different, we can all get along.
we can all get along.
and in case you haven't heard, my dino friend broccoli got a myspace and you should add him if you want him to be your myspace dino friend. you should have seen the look on his face when he heard this song!
speaking of the get up kids, i saw them on sunday in sayresville new jersey on their last show on the east coast. i drove down with kt, and we picked up jeannette at the train station nearby. i wanted to get some merch, but it was expensive and i need to save my money, so i didn't. the tour tshirt and zip up sweatshirt were really cool too. but at least i found a really awesome blood brother bracelet on the floor in the pit.
in other news, my friend lauren (who i've been good friends with for about two years) and i have been spending a lot of time together since summer started, so we decided to go out. so she's my girlfriend until july 21st, when i leave for tour. she's so nice and i always have lots of fun when we hang out! we have a beach trip coming up july 10-13 and i bet it's going to be the highlight of my summer. that and tour.
blockbuster has been giving me a few more hours lately, even though i have to skip out on a family picnic that i want to go to in order to work this saturday. belmay is still kinda boring, but i'm starting to make a report that kind of sums up all the work i've been doing, and keith said i could bring it to school and he'll write a letter and maybe i'll be able to get some college credit for it. that would be great.
the other day my mom expressed her disappointment in me going on tour again, but there isn't really anything i can do about it at this point, so i'm just going to work at blockbuster as much as i can and finish up everything with my internship in the next three weeks, and then we'll be on the road, and it'll be fun, as long as i don't miss lauren too much, and as long as the van gets us home safely, which jeff has expressed much confidence that it will.
