Primaries: A real nice way to spend the day in Dayton, Ohio


This Tuesday seems to be a big deal. Here’s some time wasting information for you while you watch the polls. Songs about Ohio that I enjoy.

"Ohio" by Modest Mouse from the album This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About. I bet tomorrow a lot of people will be thinking “Ohi-ie-ie-oh-ho!”

“Dayton, Ohio 1903” by Randy Newman from the album Sail Away. Homey, reminiscent, you should listen to it. The piano is amazing. You can download a nice concert with this track included or just listen to a live version of the song here (click on “Dayton, Ohio 1903”).

It's a real nice way
To spend the day
In Dayton Ohio
On a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903

And you know that if Hillary wins in Ohio many will be singing “Look At Miss Ohio” by Gillian Welch from her album Soul Journey. It is sort of about a wayward woman, flaunting herself around (which is not about how I feel about Hillary, but is a funny joke).

ABOUT TEXAS I don't really want to write about it. So why don't you pass on some songs about Texas.
