Waking Ear

We have a pact, you and I. I write down what song I had in my head when I woke up in the morning. And, maybe, why. You click on "What's in your waking ear?" and tell me what's in your head right now. We discover new music and maybe learn something about how our minds work. Yeah?

Harry Belafonte/"Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" -- All the news about Saddam Hussein's son Uday and his bloody corpse is weird and disturbing, but the name "Uday" also sounds like "Day-O," which brings to mind a happier time, a time when a Tally Mon could you tally you a banana.

Thanks to Brendan for reminding me yesterday that Waking Ear is now a year old. Waking Ear is already crawling, and soon it will be talking up a storm. Through my little baby site, I've met a lot of really cool people and interesting writers -- Brendan fits in both categories -- and I thank you all for visiting and weighing in and making me laugh and think. I've always said that the comments are by far the best part of the Ear, so let's get working on another year.

I think I promised not long ago that I would be inviting some guest posts here on Friday. I haven't changed my mind -- I'm just not very organized. It'll come soon.

Schmubb, Bri-ness, Chelle, Girlfriend and I are headed down to Austin this weekend for a date with Ike Brock and Co., to Paul's utter disgust. Modest Mouse is to Paul as Dwight is to Schmubb. Anyway, full report -- and maybe some photos -- on Monday. Enjoy your respective weekends.
