		<title>&#8230;And so it ends.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[365 days.
365 days straight.  It&#8217;s been fun, I&#8217;ve enjoyed myself, but all things must pass.  This is my last post for this blog&#8230;most likely.
I&#8217;ve had fun, for the most part.  There&#8217;s been some frustration&#8211;particularly in terms of some of the songs I wanted to cover but could not for various reasons&#8211;but by [...]]]></description>

		<title>PJ Harvey - Dress</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Dress is an interesting song, and a very good song. PJ Harvey sings it very well, and it&#8217;s got a nice edge to it, which is why I like it&#8211;well, one reason I like it.
So what exactly is it about?  Is it about trying to be someone that you aren&#8217;t in order to impress [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Polecats - Make A Circuit With Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Make A Circuit With Me is one of those perfect pop songs.  Fun, clever thematic lyrics, a great beat and a simple message.  It&#8217;s infectiously pleasant, and could likely bring a smile to anyone&#8217;s face.  Some songs are just classic, and this is one of them.
Here&#8217;s a link to the vidoe
And of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Billy Idol - Eyes Without A Face</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Eyes Without A Face is one of Billy Idol&#8217;s best-known songs, possibly inspired by the 1959 film of the same name.  From SongFacts
Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face) is the title to a chillingly horrific yet classically poetic 1959 film from acclaimed French director Georges Franju. In it, a gifted plastic surgeon [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Jam - Ghosts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Ghosts is a quiet, subtle song that lays about in your brain until you realize how good it is.  It&#8217;s got a sweet, haunting melody paired with a simple, easy beat.  Add in Bruce Foxton&#8217;s understated bass and Paul Weller&#8217;s quiet guitars, and it adds up to a very nice song.
As to what [...]]]></description>

		<title>LL Cool J - The Bristol Hotel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Songs like this are why I enjoy LL Cool J so much.  Sure, all the hits have been great over the years, but for me, it&#8217;s the fun little songs like this that make him one of the greatest rappers ever.
The Bristol Hotel is sort of a love letter to a dingy, dirty, sleazy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holly McNarland - Elmo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A friend of mine turned me on to this song, and I thank her for that.  Elmo is a gut-wrenching confession of anger and infidelity, powerfully passionate, as the singer speaks of her latest fuck and her dissatisfaction with her current relationship.
I enjoy the passion of the song, and the anger, something you don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Violent Femmes - American Music</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
American Music is one of those songs that just slips under the radar until it&#8217;s right in front of you demanding attention.  It&#8217;s a simple 12 bar blues riff, but, well, simple 12 bar blues riffs are pretty much what rock and roll is based upon.
I like the song&#8217;s simple sensibilities, and that it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Billy Idol - Dancing With Myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So, this is a great song, but apparently not about what I always thought it was about.
Dancing With Myself was apparently inspired by kids in the Japanese club scene at the time.  From Wikipedia:
The song is reportedly about masturbation, although it is in truth about what Tony James and Billy Idol witnessed in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cake - Italian Leather Sofa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Italian Leather Sofa is one of those great album tracks that somehow manage to elude greater public knowledge.  It&#8217;s a great song with a cool beat and some excellent trumpet work.  Plus, the lyrics&#8211;about a couple that use one another&#8211;are fun, and fun to sing along with as well.  
Here&#8217;s a link [...]]]></description>
