"Always". "Forever". Yeah right!!

Talk about wild cards turning legends. My latest fascination is Fort Minor's "Where'd you go". Not only is the song, extremely simple with its two-consecutive and repeating major-to-minor chords - actually its even more basic, with just two keys and some choral parts in the background, and a very unique breakbeat percussion style - but lyrically, the song captures both sides of an estranged couple, rather effectively, with each one thinking that they've been wronged, outlined by the striking contrast in the breathy female vocals and the rapper. Good stuff.

Also, do listen to the unplugged, symphonic version of Rhianna's Unfaithful. The pulsed string set at the back - mindblowing!

Hope all of you have phenomenal M-Day plans, because I sure as heck do! :-)

BTW, I am now officially licensed (to drive) by the state of New Jersey, a process that I not-so-proudly refer to as "The Never-Ending Story", after some harrowing experiences with the Dastardly Mean Vermins (Abbreviate this, sucka!). Not to mention, my newly purchased "I Cracked the NJ-DMV Written and Road Tests! And Lived to Speak About It" T-Shirt, and matching bumper sticker (kidding, people!). And to celebrate the same (and a lot else), have rented meself a smoke-silver Chrysler Sebring convertible for the week. Must admit, driving around Manhattan in one of those, is quite a high!
