Here's another great reason to go to Vimeo. If you're guitarist or just love music, put an hour aside from American Midol and check out this doc on the classic Cry Baby Wah pedal. Be smart though, and clickthrough to watch it in fullscreen HD.
Well I don't want no Abba Zaba.
Don't want no Almond Joy.
There ain't nothing better
Suitable for this boy.
Well it's the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold.
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul.
- Tom Waits
My kudo-filled ramble to Tom Waits on entering the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Ruby's Arms
I will leave behind all of my clothes, I wore when I was with you.
All I need's my railroad boots, and my leather jacket.
As I say goodbye to Ruby's arms, although my heart is breaking,
I will steal away out through your blinds, for soon you will be waking.
The morning light has washed your face, and everything is turning blue now.
Hold on to your pillow case. There's nothing I can do now.
As I say goodbye to Ruby's arms, you'll find another soldier,
and i swear to god by Christmas time, there'll be someone else to hold you.
The only thing I'm taking is the scarf off of your clothesline.
I'll hurry past your chest of drawers, and your broken window chimes.
As I say goodbye, I'll say goodbye, say goodbye to Ruby's arms.
I'll feel my way down the darken hall, and out into the morning.
The hobos at the freightyards, have kept their fires burning.
And Jesus Christ this goddamn rain. Will someone put me on a train.
I'll never kiss your lips again or break your heart.
As i say goodbye, I'll say goodbye, say goodbye to Ruby's arms.
A recollection of collections past.
Your music is in my life. Your life is in my music. Two great tastes that taste great together.
Quite possibly an incomprehensible nostalgic trip back to my teenage years as recorded when I am sleep deprived and somehow still able to type this.
Do you ever know that something is awesome, but don't know why? Such is my feeling about the 40 second video that is "COPY". Am I wrong in thinking that this is not the most infectious thing you'll see today? Check it out. It'll only cost you a minute.
A further ponderance on the |: repeat :| series of lovehate podcasts considering why we choose to return to the same old content, or, in some cases, why we might not.
