speed of dark

A few folks still have spring break coming, and others may be getting ready for road trips for other purposes. It's also fun for me to just put some songs out that I enjoy listening to when I'm driving or exercising, in this case, songs that were released last year or the year before.

While "Let's Go" by the Feelies came out on a movie soundtrack last year, it was originally released on The Good Earth in 1986. It has a wonderful wide-open feel to it that makes you want to get up and move.

I just discovered Hudson Bell recently, and I'm just sorry I haven't spent the last two years enjoying When The Sun Is The Moon. It probably would have been a favorite of 2005 if I had known about it. This song, with its line about "driving through the mountains listening to a song" is a perfect road trip addition.

So have some good, clean fun, don't take that bridge to nowhere, and remember to always keep it amazed. Let's go!
