Staples don't tickle.

It doesn’t now nor will it ever count as exercise if you do warm-up laps around your kitchen in preparation to run down the stairs to pick up the delivery food. Not another word about it. Somethin’ so strong could carry us way. Som’n. Som’n.

We’ve received word that the sea lions are on a cruise in the Mediterranean. They know and love themselves for who they are and we’re happy for them.

So we checked out www.coolfer.com and the Feist record is no joke. Swing over there and check what they’re slinging but come back because we’re going to juggle buck-naked on the dance floor and we will, in fact, throw our hands in the air, wave ‘em like we just don’t care, and then hope no one called the police. Handclaps, more often than not, will either make or break a song. The Thrills used this age-old bit of studio magic to rock out on “One Horse Town”. Enough banter, it’s time for the Top 5:

1. Chocolate Genius – Black Music (“My Mom” is some of the saddest music in the world.)
2. The Twilight Singers - Blackberry Belle (We were a bit blinded by the fact that there were so many frat boys at this show. Totally, didn’t see it coming. Maybe they were just record executives.)
3. Leaves - Breathe (When you're tired of listening to "Parachutes" for the
1 millionth time...)
4. The Stills - Logic Will Break Your Heart (Arousal via air conditioning)
5. The Kicks – Hello Hong Kong (Little Rock, AR is the new hot spot for rock. Home, also, to the World’s Greatest Groupie. Saw it on Insomniac.)

Not to alarm you or anything but we heard that CDs are deteriorating over time. In order to prevent any further deteriorating, we’ve taken our collective CD collection and wrapped it in shrink-wrap. Listening to them now has proven to be somewhat of a quandary but in due time we’ll arrive at a fitting solution. Spank you very much. Until whenever, media5
