Most of you probably already know this, but I am a very musical person. I grew up around music, I have played in bands a majority of my life and there is always a song playing in my head.
Most of you also probably know that I have severe emotional issues that I cover up with either humor or extreme rudeness. Both work just fine as defense mechanisms, but both still lead me to the conclusion that self-analysis is key to my survival.
That is why, as your king lord geek, I have kept track of every single song that popped into my mind, unbidden and unsuggested by anyone else, for the past week. The theory is: if I'm always hearing music in my head, then maybe the music I'm hearing is trying to tell me something about myself or my situation. Perhaps my mental jukebox is trying to heal me somehow.
Or maybe I'm full of shit.
Regardless, here's the list of every song for the last week. Feel free to comment. I insist that you comment. And maybe, when we're done here, we'll have some brand new understandings about ourselves. At the very least, you will say, "Goddamn it, now I can't get that fucking song out of my head!" And when that happens, remember... I did that to you.
You're welcome.

Some rock instrumental from the early '70's. Not one of the obvious ones like "Frankenstein" or "Fire on High." I remember it because the guy starts fucking yodeling right in the middle of it. It's fantastic! I thought it was Johnny Winter, but I can't verify that and I can't hum it for you in a blog. (Thanks to my friend George, I can now confirm this song is "Hocus Pocus" by Focus. Download that and slowly go insane.)

And so it begins. I will be adding daily lists to the blog and you are more than welcome to comment. Talk about the songs, talk about the songs that have been stuck in your head or use my lists to analyze me. Try to keep your posts reasonably intelligent, okay? Stuff like, "d00d, ur problem iz ur a fagit" will not stay on the blog for long.
Have fun!
