last night...

andrew and i were finishing our date night in the usual way: looking up videos on youtube. i was comparing katy perry to lady gaga (sorry guys, gaga wins!), and andrew was looking at covers to death cab.

we decided to end on something we could all agree on: the bed intruder song. i know, i know, you are all onto bigger and funnier things on the internet. but really, there is something addictive about the song. i just can't help myself. so, andrew and i were watching and singing and dancing a little.

then andrew says, "man, i wish i could write lyrics like that. i mean, really, 'they're climbing in your window and snatching your people up...' those are some creative, amazing lyrics."

i agree, but you just can't make that stuff up. it is improv, it is "organic" (sorry peter, i know you hate that word... luckily you don't read our blog).

sometimes we will play the game, if you could go back in time and be a rock star what music would you write before the real bands who wrote it could?

me: weezer blue and pinkerton, pretty much any taylor swift song (yes, she counts!!!), green day dookie, no doubt tragic kingdom and return to saturn, alanis morissette's first two albums, brand new's song jesus, that black hole sun song, the pixie song that is awesome, tlc don't go chasing waterfalls and scrub, and some others.
