"Garden Party" by Rick Nelson

Heard this song in the car this morning and realize it is an important lesson: "You can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself".

"Sleep Keeps Me Awake" by Michelle Shocked

Even though my insomnia is the other kind I can still really relate to this song :)

Once again a song I can't find on YouTube, but I did find something that is extremely disappointing: apparently she did a anti-gay rant a couple of years ago:

I don't know if I will ever be able to listen to her music again and that breaks my heart.

I love this love this project: http://godlovesgaypeople.com/ and their video.  I can't wait for them to put one up in Utah:  

I guess this shouldn't be a big surprise: http://www.inquisitr.com/1472576/god-loves-gays-billboard-rejected-by-companies-in-utah/

"They Up and Died" by Stark and McBrien

Recently re-discovered this wonderful song that I had completely forgotten.

I've decided that one of the reasons I can't keep up with blog is how long it takes to find and link to the songs on YouTube or whatever.  Since having the list is more important than the links, I'm not always going to put a link. 

Also I notice that YouTube is much more fluid than one could hope and many of the links in my blog are now dead.  It would be impossible at this point to go back and try to fix them.

I tried to find this song on YouTube but it didn't turn up on my first search, so sorry but there is no link to someplace you can hear it.

"Blue Water Line" by The Brothers Four

This song is so fun.  "If you can't afford a quarter, then you oughta give a dime" ... "Just 20,000 quarters and just 40,000 dimes and we'll ride again to glory on the ol' Blue Water Line".  Sounds like a bargain to me!

Speaking of small change, I found an old coupon inside a record jacket the other day:

Wow!  "Valuable Coupon" for a nickel!  I love the punch card holes in it too.

"Bartender" by Lady Antebellum

When we switch back to radio from a tape or CD in the Prius it seems to just pick the station at random.  Heard this song one day after that and really liked it.

"Constant Rain (Chove Chuva)" by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66

DJ'd a wedding tonight and the bride requested this and I was so happy to play one of my favorite songs.  I've listened to this song on my MP3 player dozens of times in the last month.  The Jukebox video is very cool.
