The track by The Flobots on tonight's (Tuesday's) The Peter Harris Experience made me think of the band Cake for some reason. I haven't listened to their stuff for ages, but Fashion Nugget is an excellent album.
I was wondering what song of theirs to post. I was thinking of their cover of I Will Survive, but I realised that I don't like love songs much anymore. I'm too old for all that, as is the whole human race by now. The Distance is an excellent song, too, but, well that's kind of a love song, as well, even though it's less depressingly hopeful than I Will Survive. So I've plumped (plumbed?) for Frank Sinatra, which doesn't mention love anywhere, thank goodness, but gives us a cosmic view of things instead:
We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations
It also seems to describe The Peter Harris Experience:
A faintly glimmering radio station…
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record
And my life:
An old man sits collecting stamps
In a room all filled with Chinese lamps
It's positively Ligottian. I love it.
