Chasin' Those Cows That Fly

Ah, Stone Temple Pilots - the red-headed stepchild of the grunge era. They put out some great songs despite frontman Scott Weiland's drug problems. That's mostly due to the underrated DeLeo brothers, Robert and Dean. They were more innovative than most grunge bands, each album having a different sound than the last.

If you didn't get "Tiny Music..." you missed out.

Seven Caged Tigers

Pass the time kickin' as time rips by
Neither goose nor the gander fly
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin', burnin'
Take a peak as the model earns it, earns it
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'
Clean the politician, wash with everpure

So the answer gets harder
And the truth's getting farther and farther
And the bottle keeps churnin' and churnin'
Seven caged tigers fly by

Wastin' time chasin' those cows that fly
Churnin' out all of that butterfly sugarboost
Track the blade as it moves downward and onward
Take a pill it'll kill martyrs, martyrs
Passin' time rippin' as time kicks by
Pass the umbilical cord down for fly by
Take a sneak while the model she earns it, earns it
Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'

So the answer gets harder, harder
And the truth's getting farther and farther
And the bottles keep churnin' and churnin'
Seven caged tigers fly by

Yessss! Freedom

I apologize that there isn't a "song of the week" this time around. Things are crazy for me. I'm starting a new job August 1st. Next week is my last week at the place I've been at for nine years. There's a feeling of tremendous elation, intertwined with fear and nervousness. Mostly elation.

Next up

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory review by Tuesday. Hey, maybe Gabe can review this one too, if he has time. Gabe's actually read the book (a childhood fave), so he could offer an experienced viewpoint on this movie.

The Subject will hopefully be done by the end of the week...if not it will be around next weekend or so. We gotta pick music, add the sound, get the credits (there are a lot of people to thank this time around) and get it trimmed down to about 3 minutes for the short cut. (The director's cut won't be a whole lot longer...3:50, tops).
