Song Review
Today’s tune was introduced to me via a text-message from a college/golf-buddy last weekend; thanks Curty-Pop. The Limousines are an electronic/indie-pop band hailing from the San Francisco Bay area. Very Busy People was released as a single on Tuesday of last week, and can be downloaded via iTunes here. I did a fair bit of digging around, but couldn’t find any information on an upcoming LP or EP release from the band. If anyone has any leads on that please hook us up with some info.

we’ll end up numb
from playing video games
and we’ll get sick
of having sex
and we’ll get fat
from eating candy
as we drink ourselves
to death,
we’ll stay up late
making mix tapes
photoshopping pictures
of ourselves
while we masturbate
to these pixelated
videos of strangers
fucking themselves
we are very busy people
we are very busy people
there’s crusty socks
and stacks of pizza boxes
making trails straight
to the bed
and when we’re done
sleeping we’ll stay busy
dreaming of the things
we don’t have yet
well there’s a long
long list of chores
and shit to do before
we play, oh let’s just
piss away the day
crank call the cops
down at the station
just for friendly
conversation requesting
songs they never play
let’s hear the one
that goes like
we are very busy people
we are very busy people
but we’ve always got
time for new friends
so come on over and
knock on our door
it’s open, what’s ya
waiting for
we might be spawled
out on the floor
but we still make
lovely company
pull up a chair
i’ll pour some tea
we’ll shoot the shit
’bout everything
til you get sick
of politics and
flip on the tv screen
we stare at the tv screen
that donnie darko DVD
has been repeating for
a week and we know every
single word
i’ve got an ipod
like a pirate ship
i’ll sail the seas
with fifty thousand
songs i’ve never heard
all the best of them
go fa la la la la la la la…
we are very busy people
we are very busy people
but we always have time for new friends…yeah
fa la la la la la la la…
