The Better To Leave You With

There was a full moon last night. I happened to catch just a fleeting glimpse of it from where I was sitting on the couch before it rose high into the sky and out of my sight. But maybe, and apparently that was all it took for the full moon and all of it's associated imagery to make an impression on my inner, often unaware lyricist. Or maybe it was the youtube video about teen wolf packs I watched a few days ago. It was probably a combination of these things and then the very sound of the music that Scot put together that dictated the subject matter of this week's song. I love the music of this song, it's very evocative. Much like a wolf, dressed in either sheep's or Grandmother's clothing, it lures you in.

Bad Move

Did we tell you we're moving? Well, we are. In the middle of June, which should make song writing and recording interesting for a time. Hopefully we'll get a week ahead on the songs before the move. While we'll be somewhat sad to leave our apartment, the birthplace of Week Hits, we're moving to a house which means we'll have a full basement to record and rehearse in without having to worry about the noise as much. We feel this will be a good move for us. So why is the title of this week's song "Bad Move" then? Scot went ahead and wrote yet ANOTHER rock song this week and I, feeling rather tapped out on rock lyrics, decided to write about what's been on my mind lately. Moving. But moving doesn't typically rock, so I morphed it into a song about a dude who has to kick out his trampy girlfriend. She made a bad move.

Who Am I?

Scot and I have both had the great pleasure to work in customer service jobs. The most annoying thing about customer service jobs? THE CUSTOMERS. Seriously. There are plenty of nice, normal people in the world, but there are also plenty of mean, abnormal ones. Following in a close second on the annoyance scale are corporate policies that are supposedly put in place to make the whole process run like a well oiled machine, but they often fail to take into account the stick wielding masses heading straight for the spokes of said corporate machine. When Week Hit's wraps up we're toying with the idea of collaborating on a consumer etiquette guide called "The Customer Is Usually Wrong".

They're Watching Us (DANCE)

The B-52's had a smash hit with the song "Love Shack" during my formative years. I've also watched a lot of Pee-Wee's Playhouse, The X-Files and pretty much every dance flick known to man (OK, I also have a TOP SECRET odd love for Gwen Stefani songs). All of this, when mixed together, goes a long way toward explaining why this week's song is the way it is. Plus, don't you ever feel like aliens are watching us and going "WTF"? I feel like they are probably captivated by The Dance. It's maybe the most foreign of all universally human activities to them.
