Nursing Home Mixtapes

[fransmasereel]

Last night may have been the weirdest gig we've ever played and it oddly came only two days after the previous "weirdest gig" we've ever played, which was for the Great Lakes Commission. Last night was at the Max Fisher Music Center, where Orchestra Hall is located, and we played just across the lobby from where the DSO was warming up for their

I dunno...by the time you're old all the emo-kids who get a depressed buzz listening to Morrissey will be old too. So maybe the nursing home residents will be just the sort of fokls to appreciate such songs.

Greg, you know you'll be one hell of an old man. I can already picture it for some reason. I think you'd be a fantastic addition to any nursing home :)

by the way, Frank says hi...

When I was seventeen
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We’d hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen

When I was twenty-one
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stair
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one

When I was thirty-five
It was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We’d ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five

But now the days grow short
I’m in the autumn of the year
And now I think of my life as vintage wine
>from fine old kegs
>from the brim to the dregs
And it poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year

It was a mess of good years

And I don't think you've ever plalyed any Scott Walker for me.

The song I was singing this morning:

Wasn't it a good year?
Wasn't filled with talking.
It still moves through my heart
From time to time.
City after city,
Granite gray as morning.
Heroes died in subways left behind,
far behind, like our love.
You're on your own again
And you're your best again,
That's what you tell yourself.
I see it all the way as far as anyone can see
Except when it began, I was so happy I didn't feel like me.

Way to stick it to the rich old people

I've added you to my friends list... because I suddenly stopped being lazy about things this very morning.
