Thursday, July 28, 2005 - i don't want a new york state of mind!

for the third day in a row, I have found myself unconsciously humming a billy joel song.

did he get in another drunken car accident in the hamptons that i might have seen the headline in ny post when i came out of the subway? do lite radio stations that play in bodegas and duane reade play more billy joel in the summer? or (scarier still) is it just hot-wired into my brain because i grew up on long island

i have this sneaking suspicion that there are certain beats and melodies hidden in Of Montreal's Sunlandtic Twins that are eerily similar to billy joel, since i have been obsessively listening/humming/whistling that album for at least a week now.

tuesday i was making dinner and realized i was whistling "you may be right"

yesterday i was walking home from work and got "its only rock and roll to me" stuck in my head for no reason (except perhaps aforementioned)

today i was just viewing a commercial over someone's shoulder and started humming "running on ice"

i am so frightened. i don't want to take a holiday from the neighborhood. i won't close all the factories down. i have to be a big shot. i'm not the popular steadies and the king and the queen of the ball (ok, maybe sometimes i am) i started the freakin fire.

i hope that someone else just read this and is going to be humming g/d billy joel too.
