Can't wait for some summer time fun. When you visiting us in DC?

Loonies to Blow
Hey yo,
Real quick from Londres---everyone's loving Ellie Goulding, kind of a lame-Imogen Heap-meets-Britney Spears. I know I just sold that so well but...check it out here. You'll think you don't like it, but end up feeling it.
Also adding the Arack remix of Money to Blow--did you know in Canada one and two dollar coins are called Loonies and Toonies? (I know, and they wonder why we don't take them seriously). In any event, I give you, Loonies to Blow.
I still don't know how I feel about federalist vs. nationalist policies. I think I'm a socialist, which would make me more of a nationalist, right? Right.
PS: YOU'RE GOING TO EGYPT? WTF

Fail
Hamilton was the Federalist....shit (I was a history major). Though he was strongly in support of the 10th amendment.

Pinched doses of laudanum
Amanda,
Great video chatting with you the other day. You have a very nice comforter. I don't have much time to post. I love being Jefferson (minus the whole slave-owner thing...). Today's post is in honor of my impending trip to Egypt. As mentioned in previous posts I like to listen to songs about places while in those places. I listened to Legionaires Lament once a day everyday I lived in Cairo. Incidentally I also watched Disney's Aladdin once a week. The other song is just a good Raggae song by an artist named Gyptian.
Enjoy!
Federalist Out
(I hope by being Jefferson I am not linked with the crazy tenther frenzy that's sweeping America. Seriously, do we really want a less coherent system and more fractionation of American society, is that what's going to make things better, maybe we should get rid of the dollar as a national currency, and have local militias protect state borders).
pps have you seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog. I highly recommend it. Then you will get "Sarcasm?! THAT's original."

Bonsai Trees and a Blog Niche
Hey B-Sides,
#Nowplaying -- The Bonsai Tree by Peter and the Wolf. LOVING this track, have you heard it? It's beautiful. Who came first, Peter and the Wolf or the Tallest Man on Earth? Both bands have a similar (Dylan-ish?) sound.
I'm also adding Swimming Pool by the Submarines, a great band who deserves to be getting some more play. (I may or may-not have discovered them in a Starbucks in Westchester...lame.com) This song may be worthy of the much-mentioned bbq playlist.
So I've been thinking, besides on-going valiant attempts to categorize and describe that most ephemeral of things the BEST SONGS EVER, I think we've stumbled across doing something a bit different--instead of writing about new music, we end up just with an on-going conversation about good music. And really, there is a difference between the two.
Much like America is an ongoing conversation about the tension between government size, ours is an ongoing discussion about greatness across any age.
Hamilton out,

PS: Sorry did you not want to be Jefferson?
PPS: In case you can't tell, I've spent the past week doing discourse analysis on Financial Time's article's on the ICC's indictment of the Lord's Resistance Army, paying specific attention to representations of violence as related to political agency and issues of power in government institutions versus insurgent groups. I live off food from Cafe Nero and am a few days away from becoming one of those people who mumbles to themselves in their pajamas. If this is at all reflected in my blog posts, apologies.

What up A-Team?
Short post today. But a great song for your current environs. I hear you are under a dust cloud. I think my parents are stuck in Austria.
I am also going to start putting a few tracks from my BBQ playlist every post (in order).
1) Boat Drinks - Jimmy Buffett
2) One Love - Bob Marley
3) Blue Sky - Allman Brothers band
