Lovin’ & Losin’: Part Two

Whew! December 2 and fifth show already – another biggie. More songs about Lovin’ and Losin’. It’s basically what lifes’ about isn’t it? I read somewhere, (and I honestly don’t remember where now), that the two big questions that rule our lives are “Do you love me?” and “Who’s in control?”. Think about it. 

The Captain (advisor to the lovelorn) was our guest again this week and he had us in stitches. I was greatly impressed when we ran out of questions from our listeners and he was able to recite from memory some hilarious lyrics from a TISM (This Is Serious Mum), song. They are an alternative rock band from Melbourne and my mission now is to get hold of some of their music for future shows. Here for your enjoyment (and the Captain’s) is their 2006 video ‘Everyone Else Had More Sex Than Me’.
