The band J-Church had a song about Muni

My good friend Nick tipped me off to this. He texted me last week and was all, “Hey, did you know that J-Church had a song about getting hit by Muni?” And I was all, “No, no way! Rad!” Then I set about finding the song.

It’s called “As I Lie,” from the Nostalgic for Nothing LP. Click the link below to hear the dearly departed Lance and the boys lament from under the wheels of a Muni bus.

“As I Lie”

A sample of the lyrics:

“As I lie here crushed beneath the wheels of a Muni bus,
The commuters all around me crane their necks to see,
By the looks on their faces I must be a disgrace,
I can see my bike down the block”

Nice.

Support musicians, especially those who sing about Muni. Buy their music. Check out “As I Lie” on iTunes.

We’re all seatmates on Muni

So nice of this person to leave some kind words for the person after them. Wait, WHAT!?!?!?!?

“Dear who ever is reading this.
We have crossed paths by sitting in the same seat. Isn’t
that crazy. Good luck to whoever
you are in all that you do.
It’s a crazy lif out their. Well
this is my stop (civic center).

PS. I ripped ass in your seat”

Yet Another Muni Rebranding

worm_redesign

Derek from Network Osaka sent us this well-thought-out collection of new designs for Muni. Derek started with the beloved Muni worm, which apparently lost its holiday weight already, and worked his way through redesigning entire vehicles, uniforms, signs, stations, and even passes.

The last time we visited a Muni redesign experiment, Robert Padbury went in an entirely different direction (and one I didn’t care for at all). I liked Jeremiah’s Muni tweak more.

Take a look at Derek’s Muni redesign page and let us know what you think.
