Amy Jo Johnson

Ok, so let's face it... I'm at that age where I can freely admit I watched Felicity back in the day... I'm also willing to say I watched the Power Rangers (the first cast she was the Pink one) after school waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when (so what if I was "too old" for it don't judge me!!!). I'm also free to admit I loved Amy Jo's singing voice in the Sweetwater: A True Rock Story movie on VH1 back in the day. I've even had the urge to watch it lately and went online to find a DVD of it (after not seeing it on Netflix) and I can only find VHS (and I bought it so don't judge me at least I'll rip it digitally and make a DVD hee hee) what I was impressed to find was an MP3 of the song "Motherless Child"!!!! So for your listening pleasure here it is


:: Motherless Child ~ Amy Jo Johnson::

Flavors of Entanglement

20/20 Alanis Morissette

Click on the lyrics to download the tune:


I would never have been in such a rush
I would never have tried to control
I would never have worn such 'fear lenses'
I would never have held on so tightly

I would have kept my boundaries set
My loving no’s, my unwavering yes’s
Risked abandonment
And stood by a lot
And thereby felt constant connect

This fountain of regret is looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now
This mountain of remorse won’t repeat with my understanding
This wouldn’t have happened if i knew then what i know now

I would’ve gone slower
Pushed infrequent
Without a rush into such commitment
I would’ve shown restraint as my feet get wet
I would’ve baby-stepped into intimate

This fountain of regret is looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now
This mountain of remorse won’t repeat with my understanding
This wouldn’t have happened if i knew then what i know now

I would’ve known much more
Known that time was all we had for future depths to unfold
I would’ve had more faith at every step
I would’ve kept intact through the whole process

This fountain of regret is looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now
This mountain of remorse won’t repeat with my understanding
This wouldn’t have happened if i knew then what i know now

So lately I've been wanting to update, but I've been hooked into one genre of music lately (the blues) and can't seem to pull out of it and dont' want to flood my blog with too much of the same style of music.. so merely for random updating's sake here is the new Dresden Doll album "No, Virginia"




Dresden Dolls:: No, Virginia

This is in memory of Edwin, for Holly

They always say music can heal, and loss is something severe to ones soul. I love this Over the Rhine song because it reminds us of who we are and that even when we go we leave something behind for eternity. (click on the lyrics or song name to get the download links)

When I Go

it makes a difference
when you walk through a room
with that worrisome smile
road weary perfume

but this isn’t the place
and it isn’t the time
for this beautiful delusion
that is robbing me blind

i want to know
i want to know
will it make a difference
when i go

it makes a difference
that i’m feeling this way
with plenty to think about
and so little to say

except for this confession
that is poised on my lips
i’m not letting go of God
I’m just losing my grip

i want to know
i want to know
will it keep you guessing
when i go

what is a love
if the love’s not my own
this is not my home
this is lonely
but never alone

i just want to hold you
in my gaze for awhile
so i can remember
every line around your smile

then i want to know
i want to know
will it make a difference
when I go

At the Same time I felt the need to upload this as well.. a very haunting version of Like a Radio followed by Ain't No Sunshine When You're Gone (also by Over the Rhine)

Tuesday, 3AM

Tuesday 3:00 a.m.,
Once again I'm wide awake.
Waiting for time to mend this part of me that keeps on breaking.

Newpapers I threw away, washed the dishes in the sink.
3 a.m. on Tuesday, I have too much time to think.

And I could call up to heaven, or I could crawl down to hell,
Nothing will change the way things are and nothing ever will.


He thinks I can't hear him cry and I pretend that I don't know, or
about all the 3 a.m.'s he spends wrestling with your ghost.

I hear him call out to heaven, I watch him crawl down to hell,
He still can't get over you, I know he never will.

Nothing he says will bring you back,
He's got nothing left to show
But a pocket watch and memories of a kiss out in the snow.

And I hear him call out to heaven, I watch him crawl down to hell.
He still can't get over you, I know he never will.

This is a song that resonates with me ever since the first time I heard it.. I was so happy to stumble on the full video of it.. even if the song past the intro is watermarked and a little "tin microphone" sounding... its still a great song..

Life is sweeet...

Ever have one of those moments in life where you so happy and excited you almost feel like your about to hyperventilate? That's me right now. I just downloaded a SECOND live Over the Rhine show. They always do two back to back dates at Canal Street Tavern and they were both taped by fans. Over the Rhine is a taper friendly band, for which I am ever grateful. I've tried not to post about them on this blog so far... mostly due to my addiction to them.. I mean I have well over 8GB of music on my MAC that is JUST Over the Rhine! Anywho here are links to download or stream and listen to the latest shows. Kudos out to both Keith and Shawn for taping these and getting them uploaded so quickly.

Ryan Starr

So I like this girl.. Pop Rock with just a touch of real edge.. the songs themselves are catchy with some good lyrics thrown in as well.. who knows how many she's recorded but she's only had 3 singles released, but hopefully we'll get more some day but for now here's what I can gather that features Ryan on vocals.. and as typical some crappy artwork I've cobbled together as well. I've decided to call the EP "Curtain Call" because I think it fits...
