i've been on this strange poetry kick lately. i've never really liked poetry before. it always seemed so pretentious to me. but i'm starting to feel it. i really dug the spoken word benefit on saturday night, esp bao phi. "reverse racism" blew me away! then today i got to see nikki giovanni, which i totally loved. she was so great. man. poetry. who knew?

some tunes on heavy rotation in lisaland:
-"hallelujah," jeff buckley - this song will be played at my funeral. until then, it's the first song i listen to every day.
-"mind sex," dead prez - i'm ready to get some.
-"girls not grey," afi - punk is back! i don't know what that means.
-"like a stone," audioslave - dude, this video makes them all look so goddamn sexy. wifebeater and tatoos, that's all i'm gonna say.
-"police and thieves," the clash - i'm on a big clash kick right now. anyone else annoyed that there were no british singers in that clash tribute on the grammys? they just didn't do the song justice.
-"all the things she said," tatu - number one song in england, i think they're playing the video on mtv too.
-"behind the music" (entire album), the soundtrack of our lives - pretty good! swedes impersonating the beatles.
