So far no one I know has heard this song Handlebars by Flobots. What’s up with that? It’s a good song, great beat, intense lyrics - they call it hip hop, I think it’s more of a punk hip hop or even rock hip hop if you will. Take a listen to it over here at Project Playlist. I call it a message song - I think I sometimes split music into 2 categories - songs that have a message, that make you think or have something to say - and songs that are strictly entertainment, with a sick beat and catchy hook.

Anyway, the first time I heard Handlebars it made me think and I immediately started trying to dissect its message or theme. I think it’s a leftover habit from my college Lit courses (I loved them). It kind of reminded me of a bit of a dig at Bush, but it more so made me think about the potential of a human life as it grows, what it finds important, what signifies power - and just how scary and powerful we can grow. If this sounds crazy, you probably haven’t listened to the song yet!

Anyway, I found this site that gives lyrics and then people comment about what they think the songs really mean, or what they’re really about. Maybe I have too much time on my hands, but I though that was pretty cool.

I also thought it an appropriate temporary tagline for the site as I learn and grow, till I finally pick a direction to go in with this and restyle and rename as needed. I’m a smart cookie and have a lot of skills that will help me build an awesome site. Um, I just have to learn the basics first.
