This song is making me mental. It's by a band called Or, The Whale (first point scored: that's the subtitle to Moby Dick, nerds!) from nearby San Francisco (second point), and it's seriously potent. Jumpy, catchy, perfectly sing-along-able, but with a dark side that builds up on you and threatens to drown all the fun you were having singing along to it. I have visited their Myspace page again and again to hear it, and it's power has yet to diminish even a little.
I write songs, even pretty good ones sometimes, but I don't think I've ever hit on something quite this solid. I don't usually take my inspiration in the form of competition, but I'm trying turn my jealousy into something more productive and see if can rival it. Oh, and that makes post #1, so thanks for reading what I hope will be an interesting blog about writing, listening to and playing music while juggling work, marriage, and raising a family.
