Jim Colyer Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Drink In My Hand - Eric Church I gave up alcohol over 6 months ago but got such a response to Eric Church's song that I will keep singing it. Eric outlines his routine. He works a 40 hour week from early Monday til Friday at 5. He hates his boss and his dead-end job. He just wants to go to the bar, drink and roll with the girl with the tattoo playing peeky boo. He loves watching her dance and goes "ooh ooh ooh." The long necks are taking effect, and Eric feels his oats. He turns into a rocket man! She is Lois Lane, and he is Superman! She drives him home and suddenly, it is Monday morning again. The alarm clock sings! This is like an ABBA song with its repetition of words. "Work work work." "Climb climb climb." "Bang bang bang." Ring ring rings." Dogs pursue me, and there is one here. This simple man is so hungover from the weekend that he imagines his dog's hair is howling at him! DRINK IN MY HAND [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xG5PAMsHyGE]CMA Awards 2011 - Eric Church - Drink in my Hand - YouTube[/ame] Early Monday morning 'til Friday at five, Man I work work work but I don't climb climb climb. Boss man can shove that overtime up his can, All I wanna do is put a drink in my hand. Ya fill it up; I'll throw it down, I got a forty hour week worth of trouble to drown. No need to complicate it; I'm a simple man, All you gotta do is put a drink in my hand. Yeah the parking lot is muddy; can't get to the door, I'll take my jacked up drop 'er down in four-by-four. Chill down a long neck, warm up the band, All you gotta do is put a drink in my hand. Ya fill it up; I'll throw it down, I'm about to tear a new one in this old town. 5 4 3 2 1 - I'm a rocket man, All you gotta do is put a drink in my hand. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/eric-church-drink-in-my-hand-lyrics.html ] Make me wanna go ooh ooh ooh when you dance like that, You got that little tattoo playing peeky boo on your back. Yeah if you wanna impress me baby here's my plan, All you gotta do is put a drink in my hand. Yeah fill it up; I'll throw it down, When you drive me home; take the long way around. You'll be my Lois Lane - I'll be your Super Man, All you gotta do is put a drink in my hand. My head Monday morning as that alarm clock sings, It goes bang bang bang while it ring ring rings. Yeah I'm ready to roll if you want to rock again, All you got to do is put a drink in my hand. Yeah fill it up; I'll throw it down, I got a little hungover still hanging around. Yea that hair of a dog is howling hey there man, All you got to do is put a drink in my hand. Yea that hair of a dog is howling hey there man, All you got to do is put a drink in my hand.

Jim Colyer Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Little Big Town I found them! If ABBA were reincarnated as a country group, they would be Little Big Town! Two guys and two girls! A brunette and a blonde. Dark-haired Karen Fairchild sings low. Blonde Kimberly Schlapman sings high. Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet contribute to the four-part harmony that makes LBT so special. They have five albums dating back to 2002. They write most of their own material, and every song is a good one! "Pontoon" became their first number one single.

Jim Colyer Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 A Man Needs A Woman I got my job I make enough to get by My bills are paid I own my own place But every night when I come home I look around and I'm alone A Man Needs A Woman I got some friends We hang out together It's baseball games Karaoke bars But when they turn out the lights And you've got to face the night A Man Needs A Woman This loneliness surrounds me As I rise from my bed The Waffle House Has become my second home They turn around to look As I walk through the door They're desperate I see it in their eyes solo The sun comes up I tell myself I must go on Who could she be?

Jim Colyer Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Comets http://jimcolyer.com/papers/entry?id=429;fa=3 Comets achieved popularity with the publication Carl Sagan's book "Comet" and the 1986 appearance of Halley's comet. Sadly, Halley's was a bust, and the chief interest centered around the pronunciation of Edmund's name. After decades of calling him Hey-le, he suddenly became Hal-le. Comets are notoriously unpredictable, and Halley's has not been the only dud. Kohoutek fizzled in 1973, and there was PANSTARRS in 2013. I drove 30 miles east of Nashville hoping to see it. PANSTARRS was low in the west after sunset and managed to elude me. There is always hype around comets. We read that they may be as bright as Venus or a full moon. Never the case! Comets have been called "dirty snowballs." As I write, astronomers are anticipating Comet ISON in November, 2013. I will make an effort to see it! I have seen three. It was the unpredictability that inspired fear in ancient peoples. The sun, moon, planets and stars had regular patterns, but comets appeared seemingly for no reason. They were considered bad omens. Comets are stuff left over when the solar system formed. There may be a trillion of them in the Oort Cloud in the outer reaches of the solar system. The lighter stuff was blown out when the sun turned on. This spherical region is named after Dutch astronomer Jan Oort. There are about 4000 known comets. Comets circle the sun like the planets. Their orbits are wildly elliptical. As comets approach the sun, frozen methane and ethane gases vaporize to form tails millions of miles long. Comets have two parts, heads about six miles in diameter and fan-shaped tails. There are two kinds of tails, dust tails that reflect sunlight and blue gas tails that shine when excited by the solar wind. Ices vaporize as comets come near the sun. Comets approach the sun head first with their diffuse tails trailing. When leaving the sun, it is the other way around. Tails take the lead. Either way, tails point away from the sun, pushed back by the solar wind. Comets cause meteor showers. As comets orbit the sun, particles get strung out along their orbits in streams. When our planet crosses these streams, meteoroids no larger than apple seeds enter our atmosphere and flare up because of friction. 1 The Great Comet of 1744 This one had six tails. 2 Halley's Comet 1910 Halley's Comet was recorded in 467 BCE (before the common era). Edmund Halley's research led him to predict that the same comet was returning every 76 years. When it appeared in 1758, it made him famous. Halley's is a short-period comet. Long-period comets take thousands of years to return. Halley's was spectacular in 1910, and the earth passed through its tail. 3 Comet Ikeya-Seki 1965 I saw this comet, Halloween morning. Ikeya-Seki was a "sun-grazer," coming close to the sun. It broke into two pieces after emerging from behind the sun. Its tail was 90 million miles long, one of the longest ever. 4 Comet Bennett 1970 Passing near the Cygnus Star Cloud, this comet sported a 10 degree long tail. I was in the army and out of astronomy. Discovered by John Bennett. 5 Comet West 1976 The head of Comet West was as bright as Jupiter, and its tail was 20 degrees long. I was at Peabody College in Nashville and unaware of it. Discovered by Richard West. 6 Shoemaker-Levy 9 1994 The Hubble Space Telescope imaged this comet as it crashed into Jupiter. It was discovered while orbiting Jupiter, captured by the gas giant's gravity. 21 fragments hit Jupiter. Gene Shoemaker died in a car accident in Australia in 1997. 7 Hyakutake 1996 I saw Hyakutake. Its head reached zero magnitude and was seen by many people around the world. Its blue gas tail was 12 million miles long. Dust tails are brighter than gas trails. 8 Hale-Bopp 1997 Discovered by Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp, Hale-Bopp became the darling of comet enthusiasts. It was brighter than zero magnitude for two months and visible in amateur telescopes for two years. Hale-Bopp showed two distinct tails. Its dust tail and blue gas tail were widely separated. I saw it from my parents' front yard on Aiken Road. Hale-Bopp was bright because of its size. Its head was 25 miles in diameter. Comets are brighter when closest to the sun because more ice is vaporized. 9 Comet ISON 2013 ISON is coming in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destrokk Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just heard the leak of Joms Ciyler's debut album, long waited but definately worth it. My Review; It starts off with a very heavy beat of electronic funk folk, very freaky shrimp to sea stuff. It then suddenly drops the bass and becomes this clusterfuck of saucy pica burrito that had way to much cheese but you enjoyed it because you weren't being health conscience anyways and you're just a sad fuck who only finds joy in eating fatty foods. And that's a big taste as to what this album brings, it escapes from the realism of the world to just enjoy what is givento your platter. The second track segways from the first to a very dark ambient athmosphere that sort of reminds me of Sun O))) when it gets noisy, you can barely make out what the lyrics are, Jim's voice becomes part of the noise rock this track is bringing forward. The next track is by far the biggest hit of the summer if it was in mainstream radio, but still maintaining that dignity of Indie Music that we consider treasure. And if you keep reading this fail of a joke I'm sorry but if you read his lyrics then lmao. The closing track is an homage to Avril Lavigne's debut "Let Go" It's very angsty Grandpa mixed with some 90's freak folk and jazzy electro house music that is like peppermint meets salty crackers. I rate this album a 7/sunflowers seeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
