Excellent points?I’d observe that as anyone who in reality doesn’t write on blogs a lot (actually, this may be my first publish), I don’t suppose the term ‘lurker’ is very becoming to a non-posting reader. It’s no longer your fault in the least , however most likely the blogosphere may just come up with a greater, non-creepy identify for the ninety% people that revel in reading the content material .

Open Letter to a Landlord- Living Colour
Towers of London- XTC
In My Room- Beach Boys
Don’t Let The Rain Come Down- Serendipity Singers
Looking Out My Backdoor- CCR
Castles In The Air- Don Mclean
The Fountainhead- The Bluetones
Nova Heart- The Spoons

Architects of the world
I walk your streets and
live in your towns
Temporarily
Architects of the world
You’ve served us well until now
But soon we’ll be on our own

And I’ll sleep in your
Nova heart
As things come apart
I’ll hide in your
Nova heart
At ease with the thought
That this nova won’t burn out

Gentlemen of the world
I read your books and
look at your art
Hesitantly
Gentlemen of the world
You want to educate our young
But soon they’ll be on their own

And I’ll sleep in your
Nova heart
As things come apart
I’ll hide in your
Nova heart
At ease with my thoughts

And I’ll sleep in your
Nova heart
As things come apart
and I’ll rest in your
Nova heart
At ease with the thought
That this nova won’t burn out.

Cheers to the people who suggested Pavement songs, there’s a number of them that suggest architecture-

AT & T :
“Jacob, Jacob Javitz, i’d like to thank you for everything
primarily your glass house”

Grave Architecture:
“come on in…
grave architecture (x2)
walk the marble malls
the monuments to those who fall”

Fin:
“Open call for prison architects
Send me up the prints ASAP”

someone already got The Hexx

Serpentine Pad(?):
“I believe
I will never leave
your serpentine pad”
(I don’t know, but I think this might be a reference to the serpentine walkway at Mount Vernon)

also, check out what David Byrne did

Seconding and thirding and fourthing Pavement’s The HEXX;
“Architecture students are like virgins with an itch they cannot scratch. Never build a building til’ you’re fifty, what kind of life is that?”
