Sunday edition: Thursday Night Music "Fire and Dynamite"

Hey, it's probably Thursday SOMEWHERE. Isn't it? Regardless, we stumbled across this gem recently and want to give it some air time. Check it out and give us feedback. We want to know what you think about the music.

Thursday Night Music: It's my life

Officially, Ferry Tales is on summer hiatus -- ok, mostly on summer hiatus -- but that doesn't mean we can't swoop in with a Thursday Night Music hit or two.

Lately, there's been a song on my mind -- both because its poignant to me right now, but also because I recently heard the (horribly) re-made version of this song by the group No Doubt. (Shudder).

So, this week, we present to you the band Talk Talk and their hit song "It's My Life". So, to set the record -- and your ear-drums straight -- here's the song. The perfect lyrics, as always, are posted below the video. Enjoy.

Funny how I find myself in love with you
If I could buy my reasoning I'd pay to lose
One half won't do
I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

Funny how I blind myself
I never knew if I was sometimes played upon
Afraid to lose,
I'd tell myself what good you do
Convince myself

It's my life
Don't you forget
It's my life
It never ends

I've asked myself
How much do you commit yourself?

It's my life
Don't you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends

"Culture" makes summer debut aboard ferries

In an effort to bring "culture and beauty" into the glum lives of the regulars who traverse the Puget Sound daily aboard its boats, the Washington State Ferry System on Tuesday announced a new onboard performance series by local amateur interpretive dancer Jeffrey Lemke, 29, of Issaquah.

The series, dubbed "Ferry Man-dango", includes six summertime dates aboard three different ferry runs featuring Lemke's renditions of classic show-tune medleys, including standards from "Oklahoma", "Miss Saigon" and "Avenue Q."

Clad in black lycra-spandex knickers, onyx knee-high tube socks, t-shirt and miniature denim vest, Lemke made his debut on Tuesday afternoon aboard the ferry Hyak, welcoming the audience with a snappy rendition of "A Few of My Favorite Things".

"Jeffrey brings a sassy brand of dance moves to his performances, the likes of which most ferry riders only dream of ever seeing in person," explained Ferry System spokeswoman Valerie Hammerman. "We're thrilled to be able to bring this kind of quality entertainment to a population that normally considers 'quality entertainment' to be spending two hours watching the Disney film they're showing in the Wal-Mart electronics section."

Ferry Tales will continue to follow the Ferry Man-Dango series throughout the summer.
