I have a car

It's pretty. It's red. It has a leather-covered steering wheel and gearshift. And a CD player. And roadside assistance, insurance, and cruise control.

And it goes like shit off a shovel. Ahem. I now own a 2001 Impulse Red Corolla S. Needless to say, this makes me very, very happy. It makes Ed Giraldo at Toyota of Richardson even happier, I think. And it makes my credit union happiest of all, because now I can stop calling them and whining at them about my loan application and how I'm a long-time TBS employee and when am I gonna get my caaaaaaaaaaaar?

Ahhhhhhh. I have a townhouse, a car, and insurance. Now all I have to do is sign up for the 401K plan at work and get Lyn's delectable ass over here, and I'm pretty much set.

Well, no, not completely. That will happen next week, when I have a set of concert tickets in my hot little hands. And by the way, why did nobody ever tell me about the Dave Matthews Band? I mean, jeez, what do I keep you people around for? I was stuck in the darkest depths of Europe -- ABBAland, people. You were supposed to keep me updated on good things happening in the States. So did I hear word one about DMB?

No.

Did I have to figure out for myself that they were absolutely fucking fabulous and go out to get their latest CD, "Everyday"?

Yes. But I forgive you, as you were obviously stunned by the sheer beauty and power of this music. This album could raise the dead, it really could. And it's impossible to describe fully -- rock meets fusion meets world beat meets something totally unique that makes you want to dance, sing, and rip the clothes off your beloved and screw them senseless, all at the same time.

Okay, maybe the last option is just me (then again, Dave Matthews has an incredibly powerful, sexy voice, and he's pretty damned cute to boot). But in all seriousness, "Everyday" is one of those gems where every song is great. You won't want to skip past a single track, especially songs like "When the World Ends," "The Space Between" and "So Right."

Go, buy it. You can thank me later.
