I've been driving around a lot during the last few weeks. According to that odometer thing, the total is in the ballpark of 500 miles. That's a lot. In the time it took to drive this distance, I've been listening to the radio the entire time. Since Hawaiian NPR broadcasts from Honolulu and isn't always in range, I've had to settle for second choice. The only good station I could find was Native FM, which always has some kind of Polynesian funk playing or any song by Bob Marley. This also seems to be the station favored by many shops for ambient music as well, so not only do I hear it on the road but also when I make a stop. Take this song for example:
Much of the music here seems to be either about eating wild animals or not giving a shit about civilization. I just have to look around me for this to make sense to me. Music like this accurately describes many of the people I've seen milling around on the streets. The local ones, anyway. How about this one:
I just like the line in this song about having a house on the moon. That would be so awesome. I live on the moon, bitch. Next?
Who the hell sings a song about being too shy? How can you be too shy and be singing about it, that is a paradox. But wait -what if you threw in an acoustic guitar and sang it yourself- my god, it's just too perfect. Teen Idol Rockstar Status is suddenly a reality!
Can't think of any others at the moment.
