The Head and the Heart - “Rivers and Roads” (Parking Garage Mix)
I have been a bit obsessed with this band, and this song in particular, since reading about it on the I Am Fuel, You Are Friends blog. Thanks to blondone for the recommendation of the blog a few months ago. Thanks to The Head and the Heart for stomping a lot during impromptu parking-garage performances of their tunes.

Whenever this song comes on the radio, I am always surprised at how glad I am.
What's in My Desk Drawer
My office provides “breakfast” each morning - baskets full of granola bars in the break room. Whether I want a granola bar for breakfast or not, I take one. And I put it in my drawer. I also have a lot of gum. Apparently, I am preparing for the apocalypse. There’s also some ketchup packets and mints in there, plus two band aids. So, ya know, covered. For the apocalypse.
I’m a hoarder, aren’t I?
“Does anyone but me remember when MTV used to show music videos? They were good at that. Little three-minute morality plays, any story that could be told with a white horse, a rainstorm, and mirror—that’s the kind of thing MTV did really well. But the network sucks at incisive social commentary.”
