Music Monday

One of the blogs I particularly admire (Steve McCoy's Reformissionary) has a regular feature called "Music Monday" in which Steve, being hipper than I could ever pretend to be, shares clips & info about cutting edge artists.

A long time ago, I started a series of posts on music called Soundtrack of My Life... and I've managed to finish a grand total of ONE. That's right... one measly post. Heck, I've written more about stuff I'm not even really interested in (Pat Robertson, for example) than I have about music.

So, consider the odd links & musical thoughts today to be my penance for making you wait so long for me to write about ELO, Talking Heads & Charlie Peacock.

T-Shirts (What We Should Be Know For) (music & lyrics by Derek Webb)

Jim Morrison's Grave (music & lyrics by Steve Taylor)

It was a manhole... Dug over at the edge of town... And a spray can scrawl... On the cemetery wall... Said, "You'd better behave"... Jim Morrison's grave
