My Brain Hurt Like a Warehouse

Because I love it.

Because David Bowie made his first appearance on A More Perfect Market tonight.

Because:

I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor,
Drinking milkshakes cold and long,
Smiling and waving and looking so fine.
Don't think you knew you were in this song.

Five Years is track 1 on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars.

And Above All

Steve Forbert's Midsummer Night's Toast is track 3 on the mix Parker gave me for Christmas.  It was the first song on there that caught my attention.  This is the second.  It's track 7.

I love how it doesn't reveal itself as a love song until the last verse.  And I love the mystery in that turn.

My brain is like a drummer
Trying to hold a groove

You know the whole song's about to change, but you don't know how.

Above the Thunder is track 10 on Home.
