Songs of the day

Today's songs are on the depressing side again, but that's what comes up on random on my mp3s.

Blame it on Rain by Milli Vanilli
I'm sure I'll continually post songs about breakup because it definitely feels like this.  ("I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.")  On the subject of this song, I still have an original cassette for their first album.  After the lip synching thing came out, they offered a refund if you wanted to return it.  At the time, I thought, "Why?  I still like the music."  So I still have it to this day.

Wave of Mutilation by the Pixies
I actually have no idea what this song is about, but I first heard it in the movie "Pump Up the Volume" with Christian Slater and it was kind of his low point when it's played in the scene.  But I just like the line, "You'll think I'm dead, but I sail away on a wave of mutilation."  A number of friends live in another city and the last time we were all together was two years ago for a wedding.  After the reception, there was a big Rock Band party.  And we of course went through a ton of songs, but for some reason, the only one I really remember is singing this one.
