postal service on repeat

the new postal service cd has been on aggressive repeat in my winamp these past two weeks. yes, i went and bought the cd. yes, i’m still listening to it after i bought the cd. i can’t get enough of it! there’s such a contrast between the sort of aloof sounding music and the earnestness of the lyrics that cobbles together a sort of synchrony that makes me completely addicted. so the cd is on repeat.. again and again and again and again.

“i’ll write you a song and it won’t be hard to sing
it will be a natural anthem, familiar it may seem
it will rally all the workers on strike for better pay
and its chorus will resound and boost morale throughout the day

i’ll write you a song and i hope that you won’t mind
because all the names and places i have taken from real life
so please don’t get upset at this portrait that i paint
it may be a little biased, but at least i spelt your name right…”
