This video has nothing to do with anything in this post. I just thought it was really funny.

Nope!

This Biscuit Bake recipe can be changed up in so many ways. Just start with the biscuits and salsa and top with your favorite stuff. And cheese. Lots of cheese.

You might remember me gushing writing about Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros in this post. Well, lead singer Alexander Ebert’s self titled debut album is just as good.

Listen to this beautiful song. I get chills every time I hear it.

Glimpses

“I found peace, in my way
But it didn’t last, beyond the day
I’ve had glimpses around the bend
But in the morning, I start again
I feel the sun, hot on my face
And I hear my blood giving way

I’ve had some glimpses around the bend
You know if I didn’t, I’d have killed myself today

Now mama I’m so tired, from the bullshit
(Mama yeah yeah)
My soul cried, from the bullshit
(Mama yeah)
And I’m so tired,
But I know I’ll make it with you by my side

Perhaps I’m crazy
Still I’m thinking, there is change in the air
We were trying together
Now we’re trying just to care
Now if we find peace
Oh let it stay
Let it last beyond the day

I’ve had glimpses of our tomorrow
But Lord if I didn’t I’d kill myself today

Now mama I’m so tired, from the bullshit
(Mama yeah yeah)
My soul cried, from the bullshit
I’m so tired
I know I’ll make it with you by my side”

Alexander Ebert-Glimpses

Glimpses happened to come on when I was running this morning. The “I’m so tired” line suddenly sounded like another song to me. I racked my brains and, bam, this is the song I was reminded of.
Billy Bragg-Dolphins

Do you hear what I’m talking about?

Buy Billy Bragg’s music on his website. ‘Don’t Try This At Home’ was the first Billy Bragg cd I ever purchased. I think it was about the 8th cd I had ever bought. It was on constant repeat for the longest time. Just as fabulous today as back then.

Check out Alexander Ebert and buy his debut solo album on his website.

Cheers!
