Pardon Me by Incubus

The song and the band that broke my musical barriers. It was summer of 2000 when I chanced upon the music video of Pardon Me. I was into rap-metal at that time with the likes of KORN and Limp Bizkit. I've read in a magazine the band's name being thrown around by local artists as if it a license to be cool. If you were in to rap-metal in those day's you'd instantly feel that the other bands' vocalists were sissies compared to Brandon Boyd. After watching that particular video, my life was changed.

A decade ago, I never thought I would be,
at twenty three, on the verge of spontaneous combustion. Woe-is-me.
But I guess that it comes with the territory;
an ominous landscape of never ending calamity.
I need you to hear, I need you to see
that I have had all I can take and exploding seems like a definite possibility
to me.


So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me....I'll never be the same.

Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book
and I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees.
I said, "I can relate," cause' lately I've been thinking of combustication
as a welcomed vacation from the burdens of the planet earth.
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D...
and thinking so much differently.


So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and it's people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me....I'll never be the same.

Missing Your Love by Jonny Lang

I was introduced to Jonny Lang through CNN back from the days when still have those Hollywood reports. The kids a guitar genius they say. Years after, I encountered his debut album... for P20 at that. Missing Your Love's your classic love song. Its just him, the guitar and his feelings. Remarkable considering that he was only 15 when he recorded this.

You lay me down, whisper in my ear
Well, it may be my name you call
But it's his name I hear

You promised me through thick and thin
You told me you loved me, you told me a lie
'cause you love him

And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me,
I'm still missin' your love

And when we talk, you look into my eyes
Your talkin to me but baby I can see
He's on your mind

And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me, I'm still missin' your love
I reach out for you and you turn away
It takes all I can do to make it through the day
And I'm missin' your love And I'm missin' your love every day
I'm missin' your love every way
Though your here with me, I'm still missin' your love

Crash Crash by Murderdolls

Whats the best about buying CDs? Finding a bargain and a new musical territory thats what. The Coldplay CD I bought turned out to be a lemon, and this is what I got in return 'The Heart of Roadrunner Records'. There's a lot of heavy music here but this one standsout. Murderdolls is a band of Joey Jordison, the Slipknot drummer. Crash Crash is straight on heavy metal without excuses... just in time for the new year!

I'm at the end of my noose,
I've got nothing to loose.
I'm digging my own grave,
And thats the truth.
My self esteem is low and I'm so high,
And I dont give a fuck if I live or die.
Just bury me in my self pity,
Can't even get myself to talk to me.
I'd kill myself, but it wouldnt help,
Can't someone put me out of my misery?
I'm going down I was born to die.
I'm going down, now I'll say goodbye.
[chorus]
Crash Crash
It's a hit, it's a bang, it's a smash.
Crash Crash
It's a hit, it's a bang, it's a smash.
Throw in the towel its over for me,
I fell right out of the ugly tree.
I cross my heart and I hope I die,
But I sure fucking hope, if I even try.
To dumb to die, to smart to live,
Those are the choices that I'm left with
Eeny - Meeny - Miney - Mo
Bombs away motherfuckers here I go.
I'm going down I was born to die.
I'm going down, now I'll say goodbye
Crash Crash
It's a hit, it's a bang, it's a smash.
Crash Crash
It's a hit, it's a bang, it's a smash.
