But I find much inspiration in listening to my dishwasher, washer, and drier. My dishwasher playes the whole soundtrack to T2 verbatim! GET DOWN!

yea, refrigerator magnets work well on dishwashers and other appliances too! the words tend to move around on washers, which can make for some interesting sentences... but b careful puttin them on toasters or toaster ovens or dryers, as they tend to melt, lead is weird like that....

I love how inspiration can come from anywhere or anything. I get lyrical inspiration from overhearing conversations a lot. Sort of voyeuristic but it sure can help out when you can't write lyrics worth a damn.

sometimes a single word will spark some lyrical ideas; i'll try to combine it with one that normally does not go along with it....or a synonym or antonym of those words too.

Default orange

i get a lot of great lyric ideas from my trusty rhyming dictionary. by the way, as of today, there is still not a a word that rhymes with orange! (a lot of close ones, but nothing exactly...) hehe
