What’s strange about days like today? You’ve had those days when you think ‘my god. What did I do? Today was completely worthless,’ but you actually accomplished more than you do on most days. I somehow proofed and approved two major projects, played four-square at lunch, prepared for the next week’s worth of work while my supervisor is out of the office and contacted, well, at least six people I’d been meaning to write for a while, as well as a few others. Phew.

So on the flipside, are days when I do next to nothing seemingly productive? I think I’ll go drink the night away. That way, I’ll trick myself into thinking things were accomplished.

Song of the day last two months: ‘The Things You Say That You Do,’ Dressy Bessy. I have not been this obsessed with a song since Us3’s ‘Cantaloop,’ and I was 14 then. And that song launched me into new musical heights by introducing a) the sample, b) live jazz improv trumpet and c) Thelonous Monk.

This song is a piece of candy - let’s say Bit-O-Honey, because that sticks in your teeth like this song does in your brain - wrapped in some light distortion. According to my iTunes playlist, I have listened to this song 54 times, not including the hours I’ve spent at work with Tammy Ealom singing to me the inscrutable lyrics ‘You were right / they’re all wrong / like the things that you say that you do.’ Is it about a breakup? Does she want to elope? Dunno. But it’s under my skin, so much that I find myself humming the same three chords over and over until I realize I can’t live without hearing more of this band. It’s smarmy pop, but with enough distort and indie know-how to keep it interesting.

And the fact that Tammy Ealom sings like a ’60s go-go girl - dresses like one, too - is freaking hot. Probably goes hand-in-hand with my current April March obsession.
