Musahboom, The Current

The Current is a radio station founded by Minnesota Public Raido. This is their playlist, but with a little exploration, you can find how to listen to it. And I deeply, strongly, encourage you to do just that.

I found Mushaboom by Feist (Album version if you're buying on iTunes) yesterday while listening to The Current, which I've known about, but have not listened to, until I went home last weekend for the wedding. It's a great station without the trappings of corporate radio-and here are the lyrics to a song I love at the mome. I hope you'll take the 99 cents to listen to it!

Her website is like nothing I've seen before either...Feist. She's apparently part of Broken Social Scene, which I've neither payed attention to nor fallen in love with yet...Working on it!

Helping the kids out of their coats
Oh wait the babies haven't been born oh
Unpacking the bags and setting up
And planting lilacs and buttercups oh

But in the meantime I've got it hard
Second floor living without a yard
It may be years until the day
My dreams will match up with my pay

Old dirt road,
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
knee deep snow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
o-o-o-o-old

I got a man to stick it out
And make a home from a rented house oh
And we'll collect the moments one by one
I guess that's how the future's done oh

How many acres, how much light
Tucked in the woods and out of sight
Talk to the neighbours and tip my cap
On a little road barely on the map

Old dirt road,
mushaboom, mushaboom)
knee deep snow
mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow,
mushaboom, mushaboom)
o-o-o-o-old
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Old dirt road rambling rose
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
Watching the fire as we grow
(mushaboom, mushaboom)
well I'm so-o-o-o-old

Start new job tomorrow morning. Life is good. I've carved out something here I couldn't have anywhere else. Thanks New York!
