“…There’s No Way To Conceive The Right Plans In My Head… …I Just Can’t Hold Them Down…” ((“6AM” by FITZ And THE TANTRUMS))

…

“…All My Hopes…

…They Stay Curled In–Between These Four Walls…

…And I Can‘t Shake Them Out…”

…

“…It‘s 6 In The Morning…

…I‘m Still Awake…

…My Sleepless Heart Is Torn–Up, Babe…

…Our Love Song‘s On The Radio…

…But These Words I Hear…

…They‘re Not For Me…

…No…

…6 In The Morning…

…I‘m Still Awake…

…My Sleepless Heart Is Torn–Up, Babe…

…Our Love Song‘s On The Radio…

…But These Words I Hear…

…They‘re Not For Me…

…No…”

…

“…I‘m Tryin‘ To Keep Up…

…Tryin‘ To Move On…

…Beyond This Pain…

…Before I Break. …”

Well, Kiddies, this song…

“6AM“

by FITZ And THE TANTRUMS

…has very quickly become my new favorite jam of the past year.

I’ve been a huge fan of FITZ And THE TANTRUMS for the past couple of years…

…and coming-up very soon I’ll be seeing them LIVE in concert!!!

They’ll be playing THE PAGEANT in good ole St. Louis, MO.

I’ve already got my tickets ordered, and am just waiting for them to arrive in the mail.

I’m very Very VERY EXCITED, to say the very Very VERY LEAST!

😀

This album…

“MORE THAN JUST A DREAM“

…is just as good, if not better, than their previous work.

And this song…

“6AM“

…is by far Far FAR MY Favorite!!!

I do hope y’all enjoy hearing it.

If you do, let me know.

If you don’t, let me know.

If you’re indifferent?

Hmm.

Eh, sure, let me know.

😉

I know I don’t put-out a ton of original work anymore, but I’ve been so highly addicted to this jam I just had Had HAD to share it with you, My Peeps!

Y’all take care.

Be Good…

…OR…

…Be Good At It.

My Morning Mixes: From A “HOLY DIVER” To A “JUDAS”

Good Morning, My Peeps.

Wow…

…It Has Already Been A Very Long Day.

I Was Rudely Awakened By Myself Around 4A.M. And Haven’t Felt Like Doing Much Since Then.

My Body Aches.

My Head Aches.

When I Awoke…

…My First Thought Was…

"Who The Hell Ordered This Hangover?"

…Until I Realized…

"You Didn't Do Anything That Should Prompt A Hangover, Dude."

And That’s True…

…I Didn’t Do Anything.

So Why The Groggy Feeling?

Why The Morning Surprise Of Feeling As Though I Had Awakened Within A Fog?

I Simply Do Not Know.

It Is…

…However…

…The Second Time This Has Happened In The Past Three Days.

(*shrugs*)

(*sighs*)

I Simply Dunno, Ya Know Ya Know?!

ANYWAY…

…Onto Better Things.

The Morning Walk-About Was Handled Quickly Enough.

I Wanted To Get Out And Move…

…And Did My Best To Feed That Want.

I Didn’t Get Very Far From The House…

…But There Are Enough Side-Streets And Such…

…So I Was Able To Zigzag About.

The Walk Was Short…

…Sweet…

…And Loaded With Great Tunage.

I Decided To Switch-Up My Morning Method, Also.

I Let All The Music Be Decided By Random Chance EXCEPT For My Final Song.

That Song Was A Personal Pre-Selection.

The Walk Began At Random With…

“HOLY DIVER“

by DIO

🙂

It’s A Classic Jam I’ve Known (almost) My Whole Life…

…So It Was A Pleasant Surprise When “Mr. Shuffle” Decided Upon It.

That Guy Has Fun Taste…

…Sometimes.

😉

Anyway…

…That Carried Over To The Second Song…

“LIVE AND LET DIE“

by PAUL McCARTNEY And WINGS

🙂

…AND…

…To The Third Song…

“(JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER“

by JOHN LENNON

🙂

Now…

…By This Point In The Walk…

…I Feel Nadda But High Praise For “Mr. Shuffle”…

…As He’s Hittin’ Me Hard With Quality Jams.

Next Up Was…

“THE BAD TOUCH“

by BLOODHOUND GANG

🙂

…And Then…

“RAISE YOUR HANDS“

by BON JOVI

🙂

Awesome Jams, I Must Say.

Some Of My Fave Faves Were Popping-Up Today.

It’s Easy To Derive Motivational Sustenance From Something When It’s Making You Happy To Be Doing What You’re Doing.

I’m One Who’s Not Generally In The Best Of Moods…

…But This Morning’s Walk Was Different.

Fired Back At Me Next Was…

“UP AROUND THE BEND“

by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

🙂

…Which Is Always A Plus Plus Jam, Fo SHO!

As That One Was Ending…

…I Quickly Pushed The Next Button…

…And A Little…

DAVID BOWIE

…With…

“SLOW BURN“

…Was Laid Upon Me.

🙂

Now That, To Me, Is A Killer Great Jam.

I Know A Lot Of People Who Entirely Did Not Like That DAVID BOWIE Album…

…But You Can Rest Assured I Wasn’t One Of Those.

I Can GENERALLY Find A Couple Two Or Three Jams On Almost Any Album That I’d Call Worth A Listen.

ANYWAY…

…Moving On, Moving On…

…Up Next Was…

“LONGVIEW“

by GREEN DAY

🙂

…And Quickly Thereafter Was…

“L.O.V.“

by FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

🙂

The Final Song Of The Morning…

…As The Headline Suggests…

…Was…

“JUDAS“

(LIVE)

by DEPECHE MODE

🙂

I Wanted Something Slower To Calm Down With As I Ended My Little Wandering…

…And This Was The Song I’d Pre-Selected For Today.

It’s A True Gem Of A Song…

…And One…

…Sadly…

…Most People Have Never Heard…

…Nor Have They Ever Heard Of It.

They Know The Name “JUDAS” But They Have/Had No Clue It Was Ever A Song.

ANYWAY, My Peeps…

…It Was A Nice Walk-About…

…And I Was A Hot-&-Sweaty Mess When I Cruised Back To The Ranch.

I’ve Been Trying To Relax Since…

…But Am Having Trouble Doing So.

SO SO SO…

…I Decided That, Perhaps, A Little Blogging Would Aide In My Quest For Relax Glory.

And It Appears To Be Working…

…At Least A Tad.

At This Point…

…I’ll Take A Tad, Fo Flippin’ SHO, Kiddies.

😉

Hope All Is Well In Your Worlds, Cats AND Kittens.

Things Appear To Be, At The Least, Somewhat Functional In Mine.

I’ll Take That, Also.

YOU KNOW IT!!!

The Song Stuck In My Head: “PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES” by FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS (2010)

“Felt Like The Stars Fell Down Before Us…

…In A Dream Of You And Me…

…Then Like A Store Came Outta Nowhere…

…Turned My Peace To Misery. …“

… … …

FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

… … …

“…’Cause I’ve Been Runnin’ Now For Days…

…Pickin’ Up The Pieces Of Love…

…I’m Not So Sure It’ll Go My Way…

…That’s Just The Price Of Love. …“

… … …

“PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES“ Is The Title Song Of The 2010 Album By FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS‘

… … …

“…I Am Oh So Tired Of Loneliness…

…But The World Don’t Change…

…And I Can’t Have You…

…You’ve Gone Away…

…You Are The Reason…

…You Are The Reason I Stay. …“

… … …

<><><><>****<><><><>****<><><><>

***<><><>***<><><>***

**<><>**

*<>*

Howdy, My Peeps.

So…

…Yeah…

…I’ve Been Jammin’ To…

FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

…For A Couple Months Now…

…And I Sincerely Struggle To Get Their Songs Out Of My Head Following Even A Brief Listening.

Their Music Is Honestly…

…And Sincerely…

…EXCELLENT.

And While Their More Popular Songs Are…

“DON’T GOTTA WORK IT OUT“

…And…

“MONEYGRABBER“

…MY Favorite Tune On The Album…

“PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES“

(2010)

…Is…

…Oh Yeah…

“PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES“

!!! !!! !!!

It’s Simply INFECTIOUS.

.Period.

The First Time I Heard It…

…I Enjoyed It.

The Second Time I Heard It…

…I Enjoyed It More-So.

The Third Time…

…I Was Hooked.

Since Then…

…Well…

…As I Said…

…It Has Become MY FAVORITE Tune On The Whole Album.

I’m Very Unsure How To Express How This Song Makes Me Feel.

I’m Also Very Unsure As To WHY So Many People Have Still Never Ever Never Ever Ever Even Heard About The Band…

FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

??? ???
???

I Derive So Much Pleasure Listening To Their Music.

It Makes Me Happy.

It Makes Me Smile.

It Makes Me Wanna Listen To MORE Of Their Music.

That’s The Whole Point, Isn’t It???

To Find A Sound You Like AND Enjoy So Much That It Earns A Special Place In Your Heart…

…And Your MP3PLAYER???

I Would Think So.

I Mean…

…Yeah…

…Their Goal Is To Become Famous And Make Money Off Of Their Tunes…

…But They Also Wanna Make Music That You WANT To Listen To.

In Regard To ME…

…MYSELF…

…They’ve Achieved Whatever It Was They Set-Out To Accomplish.

I Strongly Urge You…

…MY PEEPS…

…To Give This One…

“PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES“

…by…

FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

…A Good Listening To.

I Don’t Think You’ll Be Disappointed.

The Music Is A Mix Of Yesteryear AND Today…

…With A Quirky Sound All Its Own.

I DIG IT…

…And THAT AIN’T NO JIVE!!!

😉

Try To Enjoy The Rest Of Your Day, Kiddies.

If You Have The Ability To Listen To This Album While You Work…

…The Day Should At Least Have More Of A Shine To It.

As I Said…

…Their Music Is Infectious.

Infectious In A VERY Good Good Way.

😀

What Were The Best Jam Jams From My 5a.m.’ish Stroll?!?

I Am VERY Glad You Asked That Question, My Peeps.

You Just KNOW I Was Already Hoping To Tell You.

The Walk Felt GREAT…

…And The Jam Jams Were Even GREATERERER!!!

Here’s A Quickie Listing Of What I’ve Been Listening To.

Are Any Of These Jam Jams YOUR Jam Jams?!?

We Shall See, As They Say.

<><><>****<><><>****<><><>

FIRST…

…I Got The Blood Flowing With…

“DON’T GOTTA WORK IT OUT“

…AND…

“PICKIN’ UP THE PIECES“

by FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

!!! !!!

<><><>*****<><><>

THEN…

…I Kicked Myself Into A Higher/Faster Gear With…

“SANDSTORM“

by DARUDE

(Which Was Actually My Official Song With Someone I Once Dated, If Y'all Can Believe That! hahahaha Oh, How I Do Enjoy Classic Loving Memories!)

!!! !!!

<><><>*****<><><>

And THEN…

…I Shifted Into…

“RAY OF LIGHT“

by MADONNA

!!! !!!

<><><>*****<><><>

THEN A Little…

“FANTASY“

by ALDO NOVA

!!! !!!

<><><>*****<><><>

THEN…

…I Went All Fun And Cool-Beans With…

“LEGS“

by Z Z TOP

!!! !!!

<><><>*****<><><>

And THEN…

“I’VE GOT MY MIND SET ON YOU“

by GEORGE HARRISON

!!! !!!!

<><><>*****<><><>

THEN, My MP3Player Stuck With The GEORGE’s In My World…

…And It Hit Up…

“LITTLE GREEN BAG“

by GEORGE BAKER SELECTION

!!! !!!

<><><>*****<><><>

A Bit Later…

…When The Walk Was Nearing Its End…

…I Went Into Cool-Down-Mode.

Nothing Better For That Than A Song That Makes You Smile Really Big.

Something You Feel Personal Attachment With That Helps You Relax A Bit.

For ME…

…This Morning That Was…

“WHO MADE WHO“

by AC/DC

!!! !!!

<><><>*****<><><>

😀

As I Said…

…The Walk Was GREAT…

…And The Jam Jams Were GREATERERER!!!

You MUST Make Things Fun, My Peeps.

You MUST MUST MUST.

.Period.

It’s The Only Way I’ve Found To Make Things More Palatable In Life.

If I’m Doing Something…

…AND It Has A Fun-Factor…

…I’ve Got ZERO Issues With Going All-Out.

ANYWAY…

…Hope Y’all Are Having A Decent Day, Thus Far.

I’m Doin’ Alright…

…So I Ain’t Gonna Complain One Bit.

Even If I Did Complain…

…Who Would Listen???

Probably Just Me.

Later Later, Couch Po-Taters!!!
