Test Your Eyes With the Contrast Podcast

posted Wednesday, 8 July 2009

     The contrast podcast has been exploring body parts this year and this week the subject is "eyes." As you can imagine, I had a ton of songs to choose from.

     I decided on this one by Jessie Kilguss when I was on an endorphin high coming back from the gym. It suddenly sounded just right, especially the chorus: "There's a little place behind my eyes where I'm tired / But otherwise I'm doing okay." I think I first heard this over at Local Vertical, so thanks, Chris, for sharing it.

Jessie Kilguss--"A Little Place Behind My Eyes" mp3 off Nocturnal Drifter (buy)

     To listen to the podcast and hear what everyone else came up with, go here. Next week is another pre-recorded episode and I'm not sure which one it will be, so you'll have to tune back in then to find out for yourself. Word of warning, the picture Tim used to illustrate the podcast may cause nightmares!

fun eye chart from here

Oh Tim's gifted alright! Yeah I can't look at that one either. But great song choice here! xoxo

What a funny coincidence! Read your post this afternoon, though my new glasses. First pair, but that doesn't make it much better. Lucky for me, I am off to hear Wilco tonight, for which I will not need them... :) Liked that eyechart, BTW. Apparently I am not a complete "digital immigrant", but not by much...

Loved your post picture. Funny and much easier on the eyes than the CP one!!

rick--congratulations?? my condolences?? ;-) i've resisted bifocals so far because i can still see just by taking my regular glasses off. i don't know how long that will last, but for now i'm going with it!

tricia--i know! that eyeball pic he has up is one of the top 5 that have grossed me out. *shudder*
