Two songs

Music's just been kind of happening randomly lately:

Woke up early on Saturday to "Buzz Hitz" or some other joke of a compilation on MTV during a commercial break. Gotta hand it to the folks, they had a few nice picks, best being the unbelievably great (and somehow forgotten by myself) "Live Forever" by Oasis. Retains that Mancunian pop wonder reminiscent in the Stone Roses, but makes it an obvious stadium anthem. A huge and incredible rock song. Makes me pretend that I want to move to England and be a creative-type.

Then. THEN. Was getting some work done after the long week out of town (Chicago, Green Bay, Appleton, WI) this weekend and the boogie came down like a slap on the ass and pinch on the nipple from God. Get it NOW: "Just One Victory" by Todd Rundgren. Initially I liked the guy 'cause he's Illadelph blood, but Sweet Jesus. White soul, smooth pop, boogie down productions DO NOT get better than this. All types of stuff going on, should be overcrowded but feels like the embodiment of in-time, in-tune celebration. Certainly a tune the Eagles should play after each touchdown. Shoot, people might enjoy watching a half-assed team most of the time. Not to mention, they will dance dance dance, hoisting Silver Bullets in the air. (NOTE TO AD AGENCIES: put this in a commercial and you will sell more beer, tampons, or office supplies.)

Really don't know how I missed that song -- rest of the album (A Wizard, A True Star) is way too rambunctious and herky-jerky. Then that all gets erased by those five glorious minutes of confetti explosions, fireworks and birthday cake. Man.
