31 - Waste Another Mile Now

We're one month into the season already!  Time is flying.  I cannot believe it is almost November.  Let us mix things up a bit today.  Do let's.

I first came across this song when it was used by Apple in their all to clever TV ads.  While I didn't purchase the item being marketed, iPod Touch, I did go to iTunes and download this song. 
We're taking things a bit international today, straight out of Copenhagen.

Song/Day 31
        "Around the Bend" by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour from their debut, Fruit.

I can't quite put a solid finger on why this makes me think of Autumn.  I would have first heard it on TV in December of '08, could have still been in the Autumn portion of the month.  The full album didn't come out until September of '09, but I know I was quite into this song by then and had waited ages for the full album.

What I've come up with is this: the voice and look of front woman Mette Lindberg, makes me think of the 60's-70's.  The 60's-70's tend to make me think of the Fall.  Must be all the brown and orange in clothing and counter tops from then.

But this song, much like Clint Eastwood, just makes me happy when I hear it.  I'm not really sure what the song is about.  It might be kinda racy, it might be kinda random.  I'm not sure.  But like many songs, it's not the lyrics that get me.  The overall feel of the music and vocals just seems into my brain.  I hear this and I just want to strut through town smiling and point at people and give them a thumbs up.

In Autumn.

Browns, golden yellows, and burnt oranges for everyone.  And of course I have some groovy sideburns and handle bar mustache that doesn't look creepy.  Maybe my gang of friends forms up behind me and we all just jaunt through the little town making everybody's day better, maybe more awkward, but better.

Smiles and thumbs up.  Like a super cheesy, over-the-top, Fonzy style thumbs up.

So, take it or leave it...I'm sticking to it.  (If you can find the single version, I prefer that one over the link I'm providing!)

random fun fact...this song was also used in Chuck, this time like the Head and the Heart, I knew the song in advance of hearing it on the show.
