Ugh. Irish music or radio weretable? I'm torn.

posted by TrishaLynn 16 March | 11:42

I have a feeling I am going to play some random stuff and then come back later to go back to where I left off yesterday. Since nobody is listening anyway. =P

I'm trying to decide whether to keep playing random music or to go on to the eighties stuff. I fear the wrath of the people that have been listening lately if I start without any of them. Their whips sting.

posted by weretable and the undead chairs 16 March | 12:39

I should warn everybody that does choose to listen that my microphone is working now and I only slept 2 hours last night.

posted by weretable and the undead chairs 16 March | 12:41

I ran to Taco Bell and grabbed some vittles. That's food, dont'cha know. Sorta. I have decided that after Depeche Mode, we go back where we left off yesterday.

posted by weretable and the undead chairs 16 March | 12:52

Catch me in your arms baby, yeah! That's where I belong!

posted by weretable and the undead chairs 16 March | 13:04

posted by TrishaLynn 16 March | 14:54

Oh, and what the hell is this song about? Is Billy a girl? Are the MIB after them?

posted by TrishaLynn 16 March | 14:57

I have never heard him say. I always assumed it was just a song about the outcast that is the prime suspect in some crime, society is against him, he runs.

It could be interpreted to be about a gay kid in a small town or a million other things.
