I won an
iPod Shuffle (the old one, not the new absudly tiny version) at this years
ASECS. It was through a raffle hosted by
Gale (the provider of some of my favorite databases). The Shuffle is quickly becoming part of my larger Mac-conversion. I'm still getting used to the earbuds, but I'm really loving carrying around audiobooks (usually from
Libravox), podcasts, and songs. The iPod and LastFM are two of the reasons I think I've bought more CDs than usual (ie, two in a month instead of one every year or so).
One of the purchases from this recent shopping spree was
Feminist Sweepstakes by
Le Tigre, which showed up on my
LastFM playlists. The whole album is on the Shuffle, but the song that is being played repeatedly is "
Much Finer."
Unfortunately, there's no video available, and I don't feel like copying out the lyrics from the liner notes. Fortunately, though, if you click on "
Much Finer" here or above, you'll go to LastFM's page where you can listen to it, and the lyrics are
online for me to cut and paste after the jump.
My mind's on rewind
And quicksand
(What?)
I was up all night doing nothing
(Last night? Again?)
Do you wanna stay in bed all day?
(Yeah!)
Do remember feeling any other way?
(No!)
Do you wanna stay in bed all day?
(Yeah!)
Do remember feeling any other way?
(No!)
I musta been sleeping when you called
I'm not feeling well at all
Got this thing that's been going around called
Please pretend that I'm outta town
(OKAY?)
Do you wanna stay in bed all day?
(Yeah!)
Do remember feeling any other way?
(No!)
Do you wanna stay in bed all day?
(Yeah!)
Do remember feeling any other way?
(No!)
I'll make some coffee
Put on some eyeliner
I think I'll find that things are fine
and they're gonna get much finer!
Do you wanna stay in bed all day?
(Yeah!)
Do remember feeling any other way?
(No!)
Do you wanna stay in bed all day?
(Yeah!)
Do remember feeling any other way?
(No!)
Hey look I'm really sorry
I couldn't make it to your party
I know it looks like I'm gonna cry
Got a to-do list behind my eyes so
Go tell your friends I'm still a feminist
But I won't be coming to your benefit
I give up
I give up
I give up
I give up
I give up
I'll be at home today.
And they do have videos of for other great songs such as "
TKO." (Universal has disabled embedding for this and many other videos on YouTube and other sites, so just click on the link.)
