tunes for the town

Here are my song choices for Ann Arbor.....

1. Led Zeppilin, "Immigrant Song"- Ann Arbor is packed with diversity and one reason is because there are a whole lot of foreigners (including my parents). Walking through my neighborhood is like a trip around the world....no joke.

2. The Get Up Kids, "Anne Arbour" - Almost everytime I tell somebody I'm from Ann Arbor, this damn song gets brought up. So I felt obligated to sit down, download, and listen to the song. As the melody was being sucked into my ears I came to the conclusion that the song sucks, sorry Get Up Kids.


3. Snoop Dogg, " Gin and Juice" - you can roll, stroll, sit, or hide (if it's done right) down those streets of Ann Arbor getting cozy with some tree in hand. I've seen it too many to count, and even the cops seem pretty laid back about the whole thaaang. I have a story to prove it....

On a summer night, my buddy and I were sitting in the Diag and a group of people went behind a bush. So they're in their little pow wow smoking out and a cop comes by and lights a flashlight at them saying in a gruff voice, " What are you guys doing back here at night?" One guilty kid attempts to sound inoccent by saying, " We're doing nothing sir." It was obvious they were doing something, since you could see them passing the glowing bowl behind that small bush. Soooo, the cop stares down the young lad and his crew while responding, "Go do that somewhere else where I can't find you."


I'm not saying this will happen everytime, but that is one nice cop.

P.S Locals tell me that there is a 25 dollar penalty for getting caught smoking...crazzzzzy.


4. __________________<<<< place an afro drumbeat song here, or something super ethnic on those super ethnic CDs.

I'm not familiar with any artists in that catogory of music, but hopefully you got the idea. Basically Ann Arbor is a town filled with Urban Hippies or kids who think they are by wearing birkenstocks and their mexican blanket sweaters while jamming to Guster. Personally, I'm not a fan.


5. Cansei de Ser Sexy, " Alcohol" - The title explains it all. I've seen the drunken mess students create on a nice Friday night, and those great parties filled with beer that tastes like dog piss. Also there have been a random student or two passed out and sleeping in front of Backroom Pizza (off of South University) at 3 in the morning without a care in the world.


That's all that I can think of off the top of my head for now.....
