sunday was a great day. I did some neighborhood exploring on my bike while listening to 10cc. I don't know why, but it came up on shuffle and it just sounded sooo good:
10cc "for you and i"

i mean, "i'm not in love" is soft rock perfection:
and "dreadlock holiday" will have you awkwardly directing conversations around to give yourself the chance to say "i dont like (fill in the blank), I love it".
but enough of them. how bizarre are the lyrics to this galaxie 500 track from the "uncollected" disc from their box set:
galaxie 500 "cheese and onions"

(update: i was curious enough to do some searching. it's a cover of the rutles, a beatles spoof band. i was actually wondering if the title was a beatles reference, mccartney being the cheese and lennon the onion, as in "glass onion". that still may not be it but at least it contextually makes sense. so there you go.)
I also really like this same track from the same disc. one of the few songs to use the sax in a good way (the other two that come to mind being swervedriver's "never lose that feeling-never learn" and bowie's "young american":
galaxie 500 "blue thunder"

i also feel like posting this all time favorite, from my younger years:
"your never fully dressed without a smile" from the "annie" movie soundtrack.

come on. i won't pretend i've seen the guy's other movies, but john huston directed annie, and he does have some cred ("the maltese falcon"). this scene is so well put together:
whatever. the new lair of the minotaur album comes out today and i'm very excited. here's a video from the last album:
