I had too much to dream last night

Song in my head:
"When You're Young" by the Jam

The two times I woke up today, I was in the middle of a dream. Felt very disoriented all this morning. Still trying to shake it off this afternoon. Still wondering why I was dreaming about picking up something at the local CBS affiliate for my dad before I went into work.

Did some more writing and rewriting this morning. Man, I get wordy at times.

Listened to some of the Futureheads. I dig their sound. I hear some Pink Flag-era Wire, Entertainment!-era Gang of Four and first two albums Clash.

The newest edition of The Onion AV Club's Commentary Tracks of the Damned: this year's remake of the Stepford Wives. I wouldn't be surprised if they added the The Girl Next Door track.

You may hear “Black Metallic” or “Waydown” on a “classic alternative” show on Sirius or XM or maybe even on terrestrial radio, but that’s about it. For me, they were one of most consistent rock bands of the ’90s, meandering through shoegazer, hard rock, space rock and pop rock, all while eluding mainstream pigeonholing. Led by the smooth, warm pipes of vocalist/guitarist Rob Dickinson (cousin of Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson), Catherine Wheel featured Brian Futter on lead guitar, Dave Hawes on bass and Neil Sims on drums. They weren’t a pretty-boy guitar band, but they weren’t a scuzzy bunch of ragamuffins either. Though the band hailed from England, Catherine Wheel found itself more welcome on American air...
