I'm Rob, from Connecticut. I'm a TV/Music/Movie addict, who has now become a Tumblr addict too! :)
I'll just be posting things that either amuse or annoy me... and music, *lots* of music! Enjoy!
Foo Fighters - Come Alive
“Seems like only yesterday,
Life belonged to runaways
Nothing here to see, no looking backEvery sound monotone,
Every color monocrome
Life begin to fade into the blackSuch a simple animal,
Sterilized with alcohol
I could hardly feel me anymoreDesperate and meaningless,
All filled up with emptiness
Felt like everything was said and doneI lay there in the dark
And I close my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive…”

Middle Brother - Million Dollar Bill
“When it hits me that she’s gone
I think I’ll run for President
Get my face put on the million dollar bill
So when these rich men that she wants
Show her ways that they can take care of her
I’ll have found a way to be there with her stillWhen it hits me that she’s gone
I’ll think I’ll be an astronaut
Make the moon my home and leave this world behind
So when she steps out to the night and finds the light that makes her prettiest
She’ll be facing me every time she shinesWhen it hits me that she’s left me alone
When I finally move on with my life
Her goodbye written into stone
And her shadow growing into the nightWhen it hits me that she’s gone
I think I’ll be a movie star
Play the finest man the world has ever seen
So when the lovers that she’s found
Show her ways they’ve learned to talk to her
Behind each perfect word will be a little bit of me”

The Black Keys - Ten Cent Pistol
“…There’s nothing worse
In this world
Than payback from a
A jealous girl
The laws of man, they don’t apply
When blood gets in a woman’s eye…”

Prince & The Revolution - Let’s Go Crazy
Last night, when I posted my last batch of new records for Vinyl Sunday, I didn’t have time to do the write-up for this album that it truly deserved.
I’ve owned this album in multiple formats, and in fact it was the very first album I can remember buying with my *own* money on cassette back when I was eleven years-old. - It’s kind of funny that it took me another 28 years to finally own it on vinyl!

Smashing Pumpkins - Mayonaise
“Fool enough to almost be it
Cool enough to not quite see it, doomed
Pick your pocket full of sorrow
Run away with me tomorrow, JuneWe’ll try and ease the pain
Somehow we’ll feel the same
Well, no one knows
Where our secrets goI send a heart to all my dearies
When your life is so, so dreary, dream
I’m rumored to the straight and narrow
While the harlots of my perils screamAnd I fail
But when I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I willMother, weep the years I’m missing
All our time can’t be given back
Shut my mouth and strike the demons
Cursed you and your reasons
Out of hand and out of season
Out of love and out of feeling so badWhen I can, I will
Words defy the plans
When I can, I willFool enough to almost be it
And cool enough to not quite see it
And old enough to always feel this
Always old, I’ll always feel thisNo more promise, no more sorrow
No longer will I follow
Can anybody hear me
I just want to be me
When I can, I will
Try to understand
That when I can, I will”

The White Stripes - Ball And Biscuit
“…Let’s have a ball and a biscuit, sugar
And take our sweet little time about it
Let’s have a ball, girl
And take our sweet little time about itTell everybody in the place to just get out
And we’ll get clean together
And I’ll find me soapbox where I can shout it…”
Don’t mind me, I’ll just be here in my living room, playing some *Serious* Air-Guitar to this tune. - It’s been way too long since I last posted this!

The Avett Brothers - I And Love And You
“…One foot in and one foot back
But it don’t pay to live like that
So I cut the ties and I jumped the tracks
For never to returnAh Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I’m in
My hands they shake, my head it spins
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in…”
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted this one, and since it was on today’s shuffle list that gives me a great excuse to post it again! - One of my all-time favorite songs & albums.
