another day on earth

monday, august 31st - “herbicide”

well. here we are again. the end of another month, this being my eighth. only four more to go.

if you look on the side of this blog, towards the bottom right, you’ll see lots of “greatest hits” links. one for each month. usually i just pick the ten that i can stand to still listen to. i decided to do it a bit differently this month. i want you guys to vote. just send me an email to anotherdayonearth@gmail.com and list your favorite three. i will compile the top vote getters in a week or so. then the winning songs will get to wear tiny crowns and make speeches about subjects they know nothing about. aint that nice?

sunday, august 30th - “libra greay”

i have not been able to remember how to spell that color throughout my entire life. so whatever. can’t a guy go with both options? and that is one photogenic kitty.

saturday, august 29th - “if you go again”

not my shiniest moment, to be sure. consider this a “vacation day.”

friday, august 28th - “i was an alien”

remember the two hour alf movie that took place after the show ended and it was just him solving cases with ed begley jr or something? god that was so weird.

thursday, august 27th - “fallin’ thru”

in approximately 4 months and 5 days, i am going to have the world’s most awesome party. you all are invited. there will be puppies dressed as lobsters.

wednesday, august 26th - “miracle music”

sometimes the joy is in the search, like in hide and seek. or, um, in city slickers 2. that curly sure knew how to hide his gold.

tuesday, august 25th - “days of the moon”

we could just as easily not even have a moon. where would astrology be without it? would we even have the word “phase” without it? not to mention werewolves wouldn’t know when to transform. also, neil armstrong would have never found his purpose in life, making steps so small that mankind wouldn’t even notice them.

monday, august 24th - “days of the sun”

the ultimate hood to hang out in is childhood.

sunday, august 23rd - “lottery”

this guy is kind of annoying, i guess. i don’t know anymore. i’m ready to let by gones be by gones.

saturday, august 22nd - “little soul”

this song is as simple as simple can be. i didn’t even do a harmony track or a second guitar. nothing. simple, standard folk. but don’t let it’s simplicity fool you, for it offers up sage advice. sorta. ok not really. maybe some mage advice. make sure to preserve your ethers.

friday, august 21st - “the same black powers”

that photo reminds me of that nine inch nails video for “closer.” which leads me to my next logical question: in what way could have trent reznor f*cked her, if not like an animal? and also, what animal was he referring to? a gorilla does it much differently than a jellyfish.

thursday, august 20th - “i was a man before i began”

hello there. here is another song. i am tired now. i go sleep now.

oh yeah, the photo is by ryan mcginley.

wednesday, august 19th - “still makin’ tons of money(but not as much as before) bluez”

in the immortal words of edwyn collins, “too many protest singers, not enough protest songs.” in other words, i decided to put my money where my mouth is. not that i have any, money that is. i do have a mouth. last time i checked anyways.

tuesday, august 18th - “the westside bummer”

this is what is known in more formal circles as an “interlude.” but folks, it’s always cazsh friday ‘round here.

monday, august 17th - “highway 20 toast”

remember. a “chicken snack” should always be at least half a chicken. we can all thank tiny register for that.

sunday, august 16th - “zelda whistle”

when i was a kid, i stayed up all night and into the day to get that damned zelda whistle but the knights were just too tough for me. eventually, as my ride to school was honking their brains out, i got it. sweet, sweet success.

saturday, august 15th - “all u can eat”

i let a lot of stuff pile up until today and to make a long story short: i doubt this song will be appearing in any greatest blips collections anytime soon.

friday, august 14th - “drunk aliens”

i think, in this case, the words inside of the picture really says it all.

thursday, august 13th - “wastoid warriors”

i think, in this case, the picture really says it all.

wednesday, august 12th - “heaven only knows”

you know, in the original latin, jehovah is spelled with an “i.” a very wise and courageous man once told me that.
