Song on my mind... "You Were Right" by Badly Drawn Boy
And songs are never quite the answer
Just a soundtrack to a life
That is over all too soon
Helps to turn the days to night
While I was wrong and you were right
As I drove to work, I was listening to KSCU, a college radio station that comes into range on the outskirts of San Jose. It's a nice alternative to the commercial-filled, chatter-heavy morning shows. Along the way, they played the song by Badly Drawn Boy. While I've heard of him, I must confess that I didn't really notice him, until I saw Nick Hornby's About A Boy. Now I'm rather interested in listening to one of his albums.
A quick observation... I'm developing the unshakably bad habit of hitting the snooze button one too many times, gaining an entire seven minutes more of sleep in the morning. I really need to ask myself if those extra seconds are worth a missed train. Hopefully, the bed will see me seven minutes earlier tonight.

get his soundtrack to About A Boy. it was one of the best albums i'd heard last year, and as a bonus, it's got lovely piano throughout!
(never noticed his lyrics though ;))
I listen to almost nothing but KSCU. That and NPR, of course. :)
a l - Thanks for the recommendation. I'll try to snag myself a copy to hear.
courtney - On the surface, The Power Pop Show and All Things Considered would seem like an odd combination, who knew they mixed so well? :P
