By the way, why can't you smile?

Yes...I am still on a Heyward kick.


ohhhh yeeeeah.

This song is pretty awesome. I can't find it online anywhere to put a link to it, so just go off and find it. This will be your adventure for the day.

Lyrics by the honorable Nick Heyward. Song by Haircut 100. Song from the album Pelican West

It looks like this. So go buy this shit on ebay! Well, actually I got mine used on amazon.com and it came with some bonus stuff.




Well I remember the day when she said, "Go way away"
I rearrange my hair
Well I can't take anymore, I bought some natural food
And then I fell on the floor

Well I can't take anymore, I need a change of address
By the way, why can't you smile
She said at first it was great
And in the middle I stayed
But at the end I was sick."

I said, "I've got to get out quick!" (editor's note: fucking love that whole part. Perfection. That is all.)

Then you suddenly smiled, you took me by surprise
You suddenly smiled, you took me by again

Well I remember the time, wrapped up nice and cosy
She was washing my hair
Well I was thinking of midnight, falling in love
Watching the rain fall

When we relax, I'm going to sleep on your chest
And listen to your beats
And let's go to Norway, live in rain and snow
And get totally depressed about nothing at all really, hello (Ed. note: that is also cute.)

Then you suddenly smiled, you took me by surprise
You suddenly smiled, you took me by again
You suddenly smiled
You suddenly smiled, again, again

You can't(or possibly can. I'm not sure. Maybe it's can.) smile

Then you suddenly smiled, you took me by surprise
You suddenly smiled, you took me by again
You suddenly smiled, you suddenly smiled
You suddenly smiled, you suddenly smiled
You took me by again


Now imagine that with music. Wonderful, I assure you. I've been listening to it on repeat for a half an hour now.

Give me all the time I pay, so I can purchase a blue hat for a blue day.

I'm really a little indifferent today. This could be in part due to my 3 hours of sleep before work. I don't know though. It sounds plausible.


Ebay is a fun way to kill time. And by killing, I mean completely slaughtering my entire bank account in less than 45 minutes.
It is amazing how many Haircut 100 items one can find browsing through ebay. (Most of them are from the UK, so you have to remember that American bucks are like 5 for every one of their's. I will keep that in mind on my next ebay adventure.) I won an awesome little tie-dye guitar pin. I came across some cute "I <3 Nick Heyward" pins. Adorable. Lots o' magazine articles with cool pictures that I would love to own. But $50 for some colored paper doesn't seem feasible to me right now. Perhaps it will when i get paid Friday...

Last night I won a "Blue Hat For a Blue Day" 7" for 8 bucks. I've been listening to this song and "Whistle Down the Wind" on repeat for days. At first they sounded, you know, 80's-y but now they sound like musical awesomeness. So it was a good addition (addiction?) for my record collection. But honestly, I really wanted it because I liked the picture on the cover...


Oh Nick Heyward, you blue eyed cool cat. Who wants a blue hat. For a blue day. (alright, I'm done. Sorry. I will understand if you stop talking to me forever.)


I also came across this gem of a pic:
Hahaha, what is going on here? I almost bought this for it's sheer ridiculousness.


Well, that and because it's Nick Heyward. And he is holding a banana.

So, on my unfantastic day (I had to.), here are two videos for beautiful viewing pleasure. But don't thank me...thank the banana man.


This is the one I'm currently listening to. It's been about an hour now. Still going strong.


This one makes me want to go out and buy a suitcase.


P.S.- I just recently...as of 3:25 this afternoon, recruited my mom to fundom. She likes "Walking the Dog." So, that's been three people so far. I'm doing well. My friend compared me to Manson. I like to think I'm a lot nicer.

Ayeyayayayaya!

There is no way to stay pissed off while listening to this band.

I even tested this theory: mid-argument I turned on my crap-top and went to my video library thing on RealPlayer. The second Love Plus One's happy xylophoning came do doo dooing into my ears and face, I could not help but smile.

haircut 100. (or as my sister calls them "Don't let her listen to that in the car mom! It's The Haircut 100s!")

It began one night as my sister, aunt and I watched some 80's countdown. Probably dealing with one hit wonders, it's always about one hit wonders.

La la, Love plus one.

Anyway, Love Plus One was number something and Rikki Rachtmann was talking about how he liked them. (My sister hates Rikki Rachtmann for some reason. Everytime he's on tv she becomes rather angry. Not sure why.) The song, from the small snippet played, sounded semi-catchy. The video looked islandy/volcanoey and featured a dude wearing what appeared to be a loincloth, while swinging from a rope of sorts. How fun!

A few weeks later, I happened to be at the mall getting my hair down for a good friend's wedding. I opted for a beehive looking 'do with a purple rose sticking out from behind my left ear. The hairpeople were having great difficulties achieving a neato look on the bride, so that bought me time to check out the mall's music shop, FYE.

I thought that i would have an easy time locating a Haircut 100 cd. Fuck was I wrong. After tedious searching, I came across an 80's comp with no other listenable song on it over than "Love Plus One." (Living in Oblivion Volume 2 or something.) Since then it has been la love.

True story.

So......Nick Heyward. What a stud. He wears this cute little hat in the video for Fantastic Day. So adorable. I wish that I could fly back in time, hug him for 17 minutes, and come back home. He still makes music sometimes (he has earlier solo music too that I have checked out. I am on top of this shit!) and has a neat little facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/nickheyward) where he posts cute pictures of food and birds. I wish I could hug him.

Come on get happy and check out these fine tunes from The Haircut 100s:

I am currently obsessed with this one. I love how he pulls his mouth funny when he sings "be nobody's fool" when they close up on him in the car for the first time.



Warning: This song will cause weird outbursts of happiness for no particular reason at all! Beware. And check out that hat!
