I realized the other day that, with the exception of one day in the Month of Live Lounge Covers, I haven't featured a single song by The All-American Rejects. When I realized this, I was all, "Whaaaa??" Anyway, I decided to feature the first one that I knew. In grade eight it was maybe my favourite song, and I memorized all the lyrics. I wonder if Tyler and Livia would remember my renditions of "Swing Swing"........

Finally! (Though That's not Relevant)
Finally! I finally watched "Juno." And it's so good!
But that's neither here nor there when it comes to "St. Crispin's Got Our Backs."
Now, I was wondering if St. Crispin is actually a guy and yes, turns out he is. He and his brother, St. Crispinian, are patron saints of cobblers, tanners (of leather), leather workers, and... the leather subculture. You know, like in that one episode of "Arrested Development" (which, by the way, had main characters played by Jason Bateman and Michael Cera, both of whom were in "Juno"). In the third century (the 200s) they preached Christianity to Gauls by day and made shoes by night. You know, until Rictus Varus tortured and beheaded them. Ah, well. A day in the life.
Anyway, I wonder if The All New Adventures of Us talked at all about that...

Joyful Amputation
What I want to know is, how do you Cut Off Your Hands? I mean, if you've already cut off one hand, how do you hold the blade to cut off your other hand? How does it become plural? If I found out the answer, I suppose I would be "Happy As Can Be."

Two! Three! Four!
For the longest time, "Do You Realize??" was the only song by The Flaming Lips that I knew. I certainly know more now, but this one's still my favourite. It's also been on a lot of commercials...
And yes, two question marks.

This one has a bit of a long name. It's "Concerto for Viola and String Orchestra IV, Presto" by Georg Philipp Telemann. And I actually really like it, so shut up!

And I'm
Apparently this song is from some obscure musical that I've never heard of, but it's been covered by a lot of peeps. My Brightest Diamond did it for "Dark Was the Night." I didn't really like "Feeling Good" at first, but I really warmed up to it.

With a Side of Gravy
The only reason I know the song "Diner" is because it was on an episode of "Scrubs." In fact, that's the only reason I know Martin Sexton at all.
