Osos Lose a Heartbreaker
Looking to avenge a 30-11 loss earlier this season, LOS OSOS waited patiently for HAZELWOODS to show up but these giant douchebags bailed, obviously intimidated by our effort in game one.

My MP3 player was dishing out completely unmotivating songs this morning….or maybe it's the project I'm tackling but nothing was inspiring what-so-ever. Then I heard "Bit Part" by The Lemonheads. I like the song but not much as far as the kick in the ass I needed this morning. The next song was Ben Kweller covering, you guessed it, a Lemonheads song, "Drug Buddy". Then that hat trick, "It's About Time" by E. Dando and company played. I finally gave in , said fuck it, and chose this as my morning motivation:
I want a bit part in your life,
A walk-on would be fine.
I just want a bit part in your life,
(a bit part in your life).
I want a bit part in your life,
Rehearsing all the time.
I just want a bit part in your life,
(a bit part in your life).
Little more than a cameo
Nothing traumatic when I go
Litle more than a stand-in,
I wont need reprimanding.
Like most people, the morning commute can be a major bitch for me. Driving, while un-caffeinated is not only a pain in the ass....but dangerous. Fortunately, my handy-dandy MP3 player keeps me company. Each morning, I look for that one song that makes me smirk....or provides some glint of inspiration. This was a tough call with Bowie and Young Fresh Fellows gracing the Jeep's blown-out speakers. Then this talking blues song crackled on and made the grade. Speaking of which, I've been wanting to compile a mix of great talking blues songs but I'm not sure my meager collection can fill 79 minutes of plastic. Looking for titles of more songs in this genre - any help would be appreciated. Here's today's entry by Dan Bern:
Talkin' Al Kida Blues
It was a beautiful day in New York town
Folks jogging, biking, walking 'round
When a couple of airplanes came around
Hit the big towers, knocked 'em down
Worst disaster on US soil ever!
Course, there's the Indians, a few million slaves...Enron...Anyway, it was worse than Pearl Harbor!
President W. was flying around
Far away from New York town
When finally he came on TV,
He said Why do they hate us?
Cause we're free.
Free to round up dark-skinned bearded guys….Free to detain anyone who might have ties to Osama...Al Qaida...Somewhere in Cleveland there's some guy named Al Kida - K - I - D - A... He's freaking out!
Congress quickly rang the bell
And tried to fight those terrorist cells
With laws designed to never let
Our country fall to a terrorist threat
Anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who knows anyone who might be a terrorist - is a terrorist!
There's terrorists using your email name
Sitting next to you at the ballgame
Terrorists hiding in your bed
Terrorists borrowing your head
Never seen so many terrorists….I had to turn in my own Mom….you know what they say...unpaid parking tickets aids terrorists
There's laws for this and laws for that
To keep those terrorists under wraps
Some folks disagree with these
And talk of civil liberties
But it's like the Attorney General says...If in times like these you can talk about individual freedom...you're probably a terrorist
If you're planning air travel soon
You might want to think about a weather balloon
Nothing gets past those X-Ray Peekers
And don't carry nothing in your sneakers
Sorry for all the delays...if you want to get there so dang fast you oughta take the train... "I have never been so insulted"... "Shut up, Dale."
Well India and Pakistan
Are thinking of trading nuclear bombs
Israel and the PLO -
Suicide's the way to go
Meanwhile the lessons of 9-1-1 are clear... Let's blow up the Middle East...Smoking marijuana aids terrorists...Cuba's our enemy unless we need a prison camp...John Walker Lindh could be your kid unless we get an economic stimulus package... And let's get that guy in Cleveland - AL KIDA!

This song keeps surfacing on my shuffle.....then it's stuck in my head all day.

I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh Mama running out of luck
But like my sister just don't give a fuck
I want to steal your innocence
To me my life it don't make sense
Your strange manners, I love you so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat?
I should have worked much harder
I should have just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays
That's something that you learned yesterday
Drive you to work so you'll be on time
Your little problems, they're not yours they're mine
Come on listen to what I say
I've got some secrets that'll make you stay
I just want to turn you down
I just want to turn you around
You ain't never had anything I wanted but
I want it all, I just can't figure out
Nothing
And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
And then she said "Oh you're a freak"
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again, like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
But for the records it's all between you and I
I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh Mama running out of luck
But like my sister just dont give a fuck
I want to steal your innocence
To me my life it don't make any sense
Your strange manners, I love you so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat?
I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
You ain't never had anything I wanted but
I want it all, I just can't figure out
Nothing
And all together it went well
We made pretned we were best friends
And then she said "Oh I can't wait"
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again, like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end
The things we did, the things you hide
But for the records it's all between you and I

Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes i eat cow - i am not proud
Show me how you question question
Lead the way to my temptation
Take my hand and give it cleaning
Yes i eat cow - i am not proud
Is he in his easychair?
Poop as hard as a rock
I don't like you anyway
Seal it in a box
All new
Damn you
Fill me in on your new vision
Wake me up with indecision
Help me trust your mighty wisdom
Yes i eat cow- i am not proud
Show me how you question question
Lead the way to my temptation
Take my hand and give it cleaning
Yes i eat cow - i am not proud
Is he in his easychair?
Poop as hard as a rock
I don't like you anyway
Seal it in a box
All new
Damn you (x3)
I'm buried up to my neck in
Contradictionary flies
I take prize as the king of illiterature
I'm very ape and very nice
If you ever need anything please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm too busy acting like i'm not naive
I've seen it all i was here first
Out of ther ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt
If you ever need anything please don't
Hesitate to ask someone else first
I'm to busy acting like i'm not naive
I've seen it all i was here first
Out of the ground
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the ground
Out of the groung
Into the sky
Out of the sky
Into the dirt

I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover
Have a hangover
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Jody "High Life" Miller is on the clock for the September Compilation. Her last effort included her own artwork - solid. After that, the remaining 2007 schedule is as follows:
As for the missing months, I received word from Lincoln Avenue Lisa that her August mix is stellar and near completion. Sevchik's March Madness is suffering from a difficult case of the OCD while I haven't heard from Emmet and Love Pickle regarding their May and June mixes.
