haha the girlfriend and i are half-friends to this day, we've kept in touch lol but she told me a story that night lol when she found out where im from she told me she did an interior design job with her brother there once and had to stay the night and finish the next day and im like there's no hotels, unless you're talking about.. and she says the name of one of those sex places with the hot tubs and the heart-shaped bed she shared with her brother and im like "and then you guys did it?" lol but she claims the company they work for paid for the hotel and i said ofcourse, did they ask for videos too?

As always....

WTF is going on with my brain?!

Several times a day for the last (no exaggeration) eight years or so, i find myself saying out loud:

• "into the blue again, now the money's gone"
• "and sometimes i think of her when she is fucking you"
• "it's crazy but it's alright, and everything is finite"

david byrne appears to live rent free in my head.

i'm okay with it.

This.

Spandau Ballet's "True" for five months when I was like thirty one or two. As soon as I thought it was out of my head, it'd come up by chance on whatever show I was watching - I remember very clearly the ukulele rendition on Skins - and it'd re-energize itself.

Listen to this song and it'll eradicate whatever song is stuck in your head. Careful though, because then you'll probably just have Private Dancer stuck in your head:

Interesting aside, Mark Knopfler gave her this tune, Same song as "love Over Gold"

Also: tearing down an engine today, FKN American Pie cues up in my brain.

As an ED social worker I spend a not insignificant amount of time providing basic resources to people experiencing poverty. One of the more common ones is using the man's money to get someone a cab home. So I spend a lot of time on hold with Med City Taxi... and their hold music has burned itself into my brain.

The best way I can describe it was the time I leaned over to a coworker and said "gee, I wonder what late '80s or early '90s 'coming of age in the big city' movie this comes from. This part here, see, the sad part is where the protagonist loses all hope and gets homesick and is out of money. But then the upbeat part that comes next is where they meet the scrappy, gruff mentor who takes them in and solves all of their problems!"

Yeah so one day I woke up and this music was on a loop in my brain all day.

And it was my day off.

Every single day of my life I wake up with a song repeating in my head. No idea why, and it’s almost never a song I like. Today’s was Blink 182’s All The Small Things. The thee days before was the same song, which oddly I cannot remember now. Just like a dream you didn’t write down.

Edit: the one I couldn’t think of was Weezer’s Pink Triangle

I'll try to avoid certain songs (if possible) that I know are guaranteed earworms for me. This week we were taking a smoke break at band practice and the guy across the street was cranking that horrid 4 Non Blondes song. I went inside immediately after it started, didn't even make it to the chorus, yet for hours afterward I had HAAAAIIII yeh yeh yeh, HAAAAIIII yeh yeh running around my brain.
