I've started fantasizing about getting a new guitar. Not because my guitar really needs to be replaced, and not because I'm swimming in money, but because I've been using and abusing the same guitar since I was in high school. That puppy has been dragged all over hell's half acre, and it's exhausted. I've written everything I can on it. Lately, I've been writing songs on my old Washburn classical guitar that I got when I was twelve. Maybe it's time for something different. Something that rhymes with a Shibson Shummingbird. Unfortunately, the "shummingbird" is hard to find in Ottawa, and trust me, I have been looking. This might require a trip to Toronto. Daaaarn.
I have a gig at the Rainbow on the 25th. I probably won't have a new guitar by then, but a girl can dream. Speaking of which, y'all are invited! This should be a particularly fun show. I want to cover a cheesy pop song, but I can't decide which one. Perhaps something by the tragic Ms. Britney Spears? I will gladly consider suggestions, if you can think of anything ridiculous. Or maybe I'll just recycle the cover I did at my CD release party....
Nothing like a little Lionel Ritchie to brighten up the night.

Congratulations!! And how about Big Yellow Taxi? You could totally kill that (in a good way)
Definitely Sweet Caroline. You want something sing-alongable. Yeah, that's right, I made up a word.
Thanks to both of you! "Totally kill" and "sing-alongable" are both good ways to decribe musical things.
But... I was thinking of something far worse. A pop song someone would normally detest. Something from a nasty, over-tanned pop wonder. Give me something awful, people!
Why didn't you say so? One word:
Fergalicious.
I'm a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" (Britney)...I'm Real (JLo)...I Will Always Looooove Youuuuuu" (Whitney)... You Must Love Me (Madonna)... You Light Up My Life (??? an oldie)... My Heart Will Go On (Celine -- voted most annoying song of the decade so far)... oh , oh.. She Bangs!! (Ricky M.)... Barbie Girl (??) Any of those useful??
Oh God. The Fergie-Ferg. Why didn't I think of it before?
Also: Hahahahahahaha... Can you see me playing "She Bangs" on the banjo?
I vote for Toxic - Ms. Spears, Umbrella - Rianna, Sexy Back - J.T. or My Love also by J.T.
or how abou the Spice Girls? or the Pussycat Dolls? or GWEN STEFFANNI?!!! Beyonce, Shakira, Jessica Simpson???
