Streak's friend and I put on some tunes the other night and just enjoyed the music. Every once and a while I have needed to do that--to dim the lights and crank the volume. It seems to feed the soul.

I have been trying to figure out how to keep up on the new music. I bought a Paste Magazine the other day. It includes a sampler cd (and now dvd) of various new songs. (the DVD included a video of Mindy Smith's "Come to Jesus" and one from Kasey Chamber's recent album)

So, we were listening to one song we really liked. The John Butler Trio has a new song called "Something's Gotta Give." Hard to describe the tune--bluesy, rapid beat. But the lyrics caught my ear. Not sure I want more of his stuff, but this one is a good song.

SongMeanings | lyrics | John Butler Trio - Something's Gotta Give: "I was reading a newspaper just yesterday
got the headlines reading God bless the USA, and I thought, God bless everyone
God bless the people in New York when they got attacked,
God bless the children being bombed yeah in Iraq,
God bless the god damn junky with the monkey on his back,
God bless everybody under the sun"
