Primarily been in bag backup/remote. The smear on the battery is because I had fingernail polish on it to identify as mine (after one disappeared in a workroom); a few other wear points you can see in the image. Missing the flap where PW cable goes. “Erased” serial number in the image – not sure what someone could do with it, but seemed smart. Eyecup is new. Great camera, but need $s more than extra backup.

I’ll take care of shipping within continental US; can discuss difference if shipping elsewhere. If you are able to do person-to-person payment like ING and some other banks offer, that’d be great since no fees/fast. USPS money order or paypal (you pay fees) will also work.

I keep changing my mind about what song I like best:

“White Liar” – This isn’t my favorite, but I love the “Here’s a bombshell just for you, turns out that I’ve been lying too” line.  I just wish the song ended on that line instead of repeating the chorus.

“Only Prettier” – “Well I’ve been saved by the grace of Southern charm, I got a mouth like a sailor and yours is more like a Hallmark card…I don’t have to be hateful, I can just say bless your heart…” :  When I first moved to NYC from Memphis, I used to explain to people that 9 times out of 10 if someone called you “Sugar” all sweet-like, they were really calling you a m—–f—–, just G-rated.

“Dead Flowers” – No Little Suzy or any other reminder of the Stones’ song.   Pretty, but melancholy is an understatement.  “…He ain’t feeling anything.  My love, my hurt or the sting of this rain. And I’m living in a hurricane. All he can say is ‘man, ain’t it such a nice day” …”

“Me and Your Cigarettes” – “Airstream Song” – “Makin’ Plans” - nothing wrong with these, just not “favorite” material

“Maintain the Pain” – Also not going to be my favorite.  Doesn’t sound like her – sounds like a kickass song she should sing, but then the wrong, wrong, wrong person got ahold of it and gave it a completely wrong sound/arrangement.

“Time to Get a Gun” – 8 songs before a “gun”!    I just love “..time to get a gun, that’s what I’ve been thinkin’, I could afford one, if I did just a little less drinkin’…”.  How can you resist that chorus?  (And before you leap to conclusions, while I enjoy shooting (at cans & stuff in the country), I am a firm believer in gun control.)

“Somewhere Trouble Don’t Go” – Lambert didn’t write this one – sounds like it might have been written with her in mind, but should have been worked on some more. 

“The House that Built Me” – She didn’t write this one either, but it’s mighty pretty and sounds perfect as a “quiet” song for her.  “…Mama cut out pictures of houses for years – from Better Homes and Gardens magazine – Plans were drawn and concrete poured – nail by nail and board by board – Daddy gave life to mama’s dream …”  (lyrics say “for you”, but she sings “years” which fits better)

“Love Song” – Love this.

“Heart Like Mine” – Not going to be my favorite, but definitely a fun one to sing along with  “‘…’cause I heard Jesus, He drank win – and I bet we’d get along just fine …when my name’s called on the roll – he’ll meet me with two long-stemmed glasses – make a toast to me coming home …”

“Sin for a Sin” – Definite contender.  Closest to a Kerosene/Gunpowder & Lead/Crazy Ex-Girlfriend type song, but never fully cranks it up.

“That’s the Way That the World Goes Round” – major hatred of whoever put that noise in there, because it’d be great otherwise.  The fact that I have had a massive headache all day doesn’t exactly endear feedback to me. Gotta love these lines ”..she’s a pretty nice lady, but she’s kinda confused – got muscles in her head ain’t never been used…”

“Virginia Bluebell” – Not favorite, but very sweet song – like it now, will probably grow to like it even more with time.

I definitely recommend you go out and buy this album (fyi – Amazon has the physical cd for 9.99 & you get a $1 credit for mp3 or you can get immediately as an album downloadfor $10.99), but if you don’t have any Miranda Lambert and will only buy one – I’d recommend you get Crazy Ex-Girlfriend over Revolution.  I haven’t listened to it enough to decide between it and Kerosene.   Though let’s face it – you should buy all three of her albums.  She may not have all the hype and sales of the other young blondes, but she’s arguably the most talented (you can argue with me between Miranda and Taylor Swift, but they are both above the other two and far too different to compare) and there can be zero argument that she has the absolute hottest man and he’s funny!  I miss getting those two country television stations since moving to Boston because I loved when he’d guest on one of the shows.  Whether you like the love songs like “Don’t Make Me” or songs about breaking out a jail by way of a horny hound dog “Ol Red” – there’s something for everybody.

I know this has nothing to do with hockey or photography other than that there are hockey players, hockey fans and photographers who need or will need a transplant some day and all hockey players, hockey fans and photographers have organs that could help others once they have finished using them.
