Alcohol and Pragmatic Inference – Avett Brothers’ “When I Drink”

Avett Brothers - "When I Drink"

This Song is Hopeful – "Ain't No Reason"

We have a really good college radio station in my community.  They play some really good indie rock.  I heard this song the other day and thought “wow! that chorus is hopeful.”

I like it.  It’s by Brett Dennen.  He’s really a fantastic guitar player.  If you’re into acoustic style rock, check out some of his other videos on Youtube.

Monday Morning Music

I have no idea what some of these lyrics mean and perhaps it’s better that way.  And, you should sub in “cup of coffee” for cigarette in the lyrics.  Cigarettes are bad for you.  Getting the kids off on Monday morning is usually a bear after they’ve been off schedule all weekend.

"Where do bad folks go when they die?" …

Well, here’s a positively medieval view of hell in (semi) modern song (it’s sad when the stuff you listened to in high school will soon be what is termed “classic rock”):

Not a Rap Fan, But I can Get into This

You’re probably going to be hearing a good bit from me over the next two and half weeks as the New Orleans Saints go on to dominate the superbowl.  Here’s a little something to start you off:

A Little More U2 for You – "Gloria"

And, now on the lighter side.  A lot you have been clicking through and listening to the U2 song I posted the other day.  Here’s another of my favorites with 80’s digs even (lyrics here):
