I just saw these guys at SXSW and I'm going to go see them again. They are amazing!
I think this song is my favorite so far.
In case the singing is to fast for you to follow, here are the lyrics.
I could never pretend that I don't love you.
You could never pretend that I'm your man.
That's exactly the way that I want it.
That's exactly the way that I am.
And you call me in the morning with your troubles
Takin' it downtown every night
I could never place the stars at night above ya.
I got my hands on the ground,
and you know I'm right.
You wait so long,
You wait so long,
You wait so long,
You wait so long.
It's a coffee stained earth ever time it happens.
Liven up honey it ain't that bad.
Any afterthought rose to recognition
Like every other coffin that I had
And your buick broke down in Winnemucca,
Fall to your knees and you pray to the lord
Then you take up hope at the politicians:
Nothing happens in this burnt out town anymore.
You wait so long,
You wait so long,
You wait so long,
You wait so long.
And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train
You know that I help you if I can
But I'm just a raindrop in a river
Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand
And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this
With all the bad habits that I've learned
But it's better than your fire-borne fornication
And all the dirty money that you earn.
You wait so long,
You wait so long,
You wait so long,
You wait so long.

This is too awesome not to share. Futurama is a really funny cartoon and Bender is pretty cool.
A story. A man fires a rifle for many years and he goes to war. Afterwards, he comes home and he sees that whatever else he may do with his life - build a house, love a woman, change his son's diaper - he will always remain a Marine. And all the Marines killing and dying, they will always be me.
We are still in the desert.
We are still in the desert.
It's not often that we have an additional day in the year. This being the case, I felt compelled to post today. It's an amazing the things our species have accomplished in all realms of possibility. So, I'd like to leave you with a new perspective.
We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamer of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;--
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.
-William O’Shaughnessy
