Music Monday -- The Faint "The Geeks were Right"

So, J set up the amazing stereo so we could listen to Pandora, Spotify, iTunes library, or records all from the same thing.  And he can control it from his iPhone (alas, I still have my crappy Sprint phone until iPhone 5 comes out).  Every night for dinner, we pick a different style and usually put on Pandora.  The Faint's Pandora channel is kinda awesome.  So many good, interesting, not really know to me bands pop up.  I love it!  In honor of the good channel, this Monday's choice is The Faint "The Geeks were Right."

Lyrics (my favorite lines in bold):

got a chain saw motor that's filled with rain but when it sings like bach the eyes all bulge then when the pink sun drops the eyelids fold

while i'm in deep REM sleep or twilight zones i take a freight elevator and press fast forward i get to grind these teeth and peek thru time if i could bring things back they'd feedback wild when i saw the future - the geeks were right

egghead boys with thin white legs they got modified features and software brains but that's what the girls like the geeks were right

when i saw the future - the geeks were right

predator skills chemical wars plastic islands at sea watch what the humans ruin with machine

eyeballs float in wet green grass i'm in a chainsaw choir in dreams that bend to let me cut thru time and stretch out bach i make the dry eyes roll and wet eyes cross

while i'm in deep REM sleep or twilight zones i take a freight elevator and press fast forward so i can grind these teeth and peek thru time if i could bring things back they'd feedback wild and when i saw the future - the geeks were right

P.S. J and I have a bet going that any Pandora channel will eventually make its way to the Beatles.  So far, we've been right.  Every channel we've made gets to the Beatles.  Sometimes it takes 20 minutes, sometimes an hour, but it happens!
