Jesus songs
by Denise Sawicki on June 11, 2008
I wonder what it is with me liking all these songs that mention Jesus. I'm a total atheist :P Actually I think it might be easier for me to like these songs that it would be for anyone who's religious and might have a troubled background with religion. I guess the name has less significance for me. :P
One favorite is the live version of "Walking with Jesus" by Spiritualized, which I can defend as compliant with my atheist lifestyle by looking at an early version of the song and seeing that the song is really about heroin. ("If heaven's like heroin, then that's the place for me").
I like this one song Darrell played on his radio show a few times, because it has some evil lyrics. The song is "Ten-Year Coin" by Martin Zellar and the Hardaways.
"When I was younger I used to wonder what could cause a man to just lay down and die
and I wish that I was younger still and I wish that I still had to wonder why"
and
"when I was younger I used to wonder what could ever bring a man to want to kill
and it scares the shit right of me to admit that I don't have to wonder still"
Well I borrowed the CD and now I realized that there are a lot of lyrics I missed when I heard it on the radio. Specifically the line right in between those two:
"Got a wife and kids at home you know they ain't never seen a certain side of me
Cause I gave my life to Jesus six years back but you know they've only known me three"
It's OK, I still like the song but this is getting weird :) On further reflection it's still an evil song because it seems to be about a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for ten years who goes out and gets drunk one night. Anyway, that is my song of the day.

Mystery Halloween costume
This might look like two guys in ugly clothes, but in reality it is a very nerdy Halloween costume. Can anyone figure it out? Edit: Steve West figured it out, answer is in the comments. Go »More news
So the second crest didn't exactly happen. The first crest was 40.8 (already an all-time record) and originally they said there was a 75% chance the second one would be over 41. Go »Hello
So... I know I've been mostly absent... I saw Amy's comment in RB and I just want to assure her that it is not her fault I quit RB :P. Go »Torchwood
OK, I've read the reviews saying Torchwood is a terrible show that is nothing but gratuitous sex and violence but I gotta say I kind of disagree and kind of like it. Thanks to our public library for stocking such a non-educational program :P. Buffy fans particularly seem to despise this program but what the heck, I like both...

I guess the saga of me and numberonemusic.com is not over yet. They went and charged my credit card for another $59.95 Go »
