You’ll all hate me. **I** hate me. I can’t get it out of my head. I don’t know where it came from. I don’t know when it will go. But I will be ecstatic when it _does_ go: Blue, by Eiffel 65 ---

The song “Triplets” from _The Band Wagon_: We do everything alike We look alike We dress alike, we walk alike We talk alikeAnd what is more We hate each other very much We hate our folks, etc. Funny song, but enough is enough! ---

I woke up with UNC’s secondary fight song (“Here comes Carolina-lina, we hail from NCU!”) in my head. I mean, I love my Tarheel boys, but where did that come from? :shrug: ---

> [@wonderwench](#): > > Patti Smith - Dancing Barefoot I’m not surprised, I find the song sort of hypnotic, so it’s only a matter of time before it loops in my head too. The song currently in my head is “Paperthin Hymn” by Anberlin. That and “Dead Heart” by Radford have taken up near-permanent residence lately. ---

I’ve just acquired a 7-CD set of every documented Pink Floyd rarity. It’s all the single mixes and promo edits and alternate mixes that have been released somewhere on a record or CD. It’d cost thousands of dollars to collect all the sources of these recordings! So the song in my head varies, but I keep coming back to “Astronomy Domine.” ---

Funny, but I always have one song or another playing in my head. You could grab me by the arm at any given moment and ask me about it and I could give you the song title. It’s like having my own personal soundtrack. Except that a lot of the songs really suck, so it’s as if I were in a really bad movie. (In a lot of ways, come to think of it.) At the moment, “Smooth” by Santana seems to be in heavy rotation in my head. (Probably because it was on the radio while I drove to work. **Eight hours ago.** ) ---
