you can do it if you start thinking "yes"

I should be getting ready to go out instead of writing this, but that would kill the whole, "Ack! I have to be out the door in 20 minutes, and I haven't even dried my hair yet!" rushing game. And you know how cute that is. Sure you do.

So I was just in the shower and listening to songs (like I do) and I was realizing just how much Danko Jones has grown. I can't get into the whole story of Danko Jones music, and how in the early tracks he was totally obsessed with showing up your boyfriend, like even more than getting with you even.

OK, maybe I'll get into it a little. Like "When we're making out/ I keep your boy in the trunk" from "Cadillac" and that weird moment in "Dr. Evening" where he tries to figure out a strategic doing-it pose, "because the only thing I want to see right now is your boyfriend looking surprised." -- whoa, Danko. Sure, I made a video where Oliver Reed was dancing to this song, but that line is a bit of a mood killer. Good thing he follows it with, "Dr. Evening's got that elixir for your insatiable state. Try it on. You like it? I knew you'd like it, baby." Awesome.

And oh, Oliver Reed. Heavens. I watched "Take a Girl Like You" for the first time last night finally. The end was too weird, but he was so hot. (Click on that. I dare you.) "Get your coat." Oh my God.

Anyway, back to Danko. Now he's got his mind right, and is offering advice for other troubled young men through his lyrics. Fantastic.

Also fantastic are my plans for this evening, which include a revisit to that funny place with funny karaoke. Good times.
