The second in a daily series of simple-things-that-make-me-unreasonably happy:

Track one on The Shins Chutes Too Narrow, “Kissing the Lipless.” It sits in my clock radio/CD player and provides the perfect wake-up routine for an otherwise anti-morning kind of guy. First the handclapping (who wouldn’t want to wake up to applause), the gentle falsetto of James Mercer… cue quitars… viva electricity… and bam. Singing in the shower.

Sure, I could have made my own CD and hand-selected an opening track that would work for alarm purposes, but finding out that my work has already been done for me is, well, priceless.

The rest of the CD kicks ass too.

I've been re-digging the Shins lately these days, mostly due to the Garden State soundtrack.

I think the key difference is that Eddie colored himself on BEASTS, and most certainly not in Captain America. I couldn't even tell you what was going on in the second issue of that story.

(laughter) Yes, but I suspect if you were one of the "think tanks with purchase power" from the North lands, you would plan things a little better. Government contracts....definitely gotta love it. wink

I used to get unreasonably happy when my crystal spider would throw rainbows across my kitchen, and they would dance on the walls. So lovely. I really do enjoy the simplest things. Makes me wonder why I am here...oh yes. Flight from prosecution. wink
