Sunday night amble, Oct 11th

Came back from hangin' with Ma at the nursing home and dropped by the Bootlegger to catch Sally Townes' set and cop a few shots. Also hooked up with fellow Vegas music blogger Evan Davis and his lovely wife Sandi and chatted up some ideas for better supporting all our peeps.

Very Nice. Hate that I missed the Friday night Bootlegger guitar blowout, but I had to go up to Tonopah to show the flag for my Grandson.

I was not aware that Tonopah is 6,020 ft above sea level. Man, it was cold! Henderson got spanked 49 - 18. Tough bunch, the Tonopah kids. Home game this Friday, thankfully. Tonopah was 445 miles round trip. Long day & night.

For a sports photographer, I'm a pretty good songwriter. ;)

Took my iPod with my FM radio adapter. Listened to lotsa cool stuff up & back. Had to listen to Imogen Heap's new CD twice. I am smitten with her work. The writing! And her creativity with sounds!

Here's a cut entitled "Earth." Lotta MOSAIC-ish vocal overlays.

Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work

Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?

You're not golden
And I'm getting tired
Act like you own the place
When really you've only just arrived

I caught first glimmers
In hides and skins
Look who's all grown up
Black swanning about the solar winds

You're gonna lose it all
And find yourself on your knees
So, get a grip and you might
Flow, reverse the great, slow bleed

I've tried patience, but
You always want a war
This house won't tolerate any more
Stop this right away

Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now

The cold shoulder
Folded arms and looking up
You've never listened
And carry on careless, regardless

This is not a fire drill and
If we hold any hope
It's harmonic connection
And stereo symbiosis

These lego land empires
Choking out mine now
You're everywhere, everywhere
Multiplying around me, child

A strain on my heart
This rock can't tolerate any more
Stop this right away

Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now

[Repeat: x8]
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work
Baby, behave, we'll make it work

(Baby, do you love me?)

Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh (yeah)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh

You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
Back
Stop this right away

(Baby, behave, we'll make it work)
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
Make it up to me now

Stop this right away
Put that down and clean this mess up
End of conversation
Put your back in it and
And make it up to me now

Are you with me?
Are you with me?
Are you with me?

You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
You're only what you give back
Back

(You're not golden
And I'm getting tired
Act like you own the place
When really you've only just arrived)
