Jon's Song Diary

• Staring at the Sun—TV on the Radio
  You know if you stare at it head on it'll burn your eyes out. I once took a pair of binoculars and stared at the sun for over an hour.
• Leaving New York—R.E.M.
  Little known fact. Every single time I type New York I type it as N-e-w--Y-o-u--r-k. Why is that?
• Extreme Ways—Moby
  What's wrong with the world? Moby...that's what. I try to hate the man, but then I think...would Jason Bourne be the same without this song?
• Silhouette—Driveblind
  This song must be played at the appropriate level, and yes, my cube-neighbors at work think I am very annoying.
• Ganja Babe—Michael Franti
  He sounds like he is in love.
• All These Things That I've Done—The Killers
  If the goal is to pack out stadiums this song is a decent start. A word of advice, if you are going to use a choir in your song you have got to do better than, "I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier." What the heck?
• Comeback (Light Therapy)—Josh Rouse
  When I dance-walk there is a 62% chance that this song is running through my head.
