Jordan told me to tell you he's getting a computer for his birthday (your tax dollars) which is Sunday. After that, he will be so diligent, you won't even know how to spell hiccough.
Danny Kaye & The Andrews Sisters - "Civilization (Bongo, Bongo..)"
Does loving this song make me a racist? Unfortunately yes. But if we all love the song, then racism ceases to exist. And with racism gone, who's to say what we can't achieve? Certainly not you. You're not going to tell me what to do.
What I like about this song is what I like about Bugs Bunny cartoons. The timely (and extremely dated) references it makes, to 'uncivilized pictures' the newsreel takes, and concern for the 'atom bomb' (not dated at all). Or maybe I'm rationalizing my love for kitsch. I really hope not. [Buy]
Weights and Measures - "A Most Efficient Method of Removing Pants"
Horrible title. Really good song. This band's song titles are very hit and miss. For example: "Yes As In Meaning No" = yea, "The Weekend Is For Making Babies" = nay. But that doesn't matter, it doesn't. When I saw them play (for absolutely no reason I was drawn to their 'break-up' show) I did not want to leave, but Jon and I had to. You know Jon, with the foursquare cap.
I didn't know this at the time, but drumming in this band is Jeremy Gara. If you haven't heard of him, this guy is responsible for the percussion in every band you've ever heard. [Buy]
Also, since .mac servers are acting up lately (for me), I'm using two different hosts for the music. To our regular guy, a huge thanks as always, and to this week's helper host, go play his video game.
