Know what's pissing me off? I can't hit the sauce until after the ceremony, so I'm totally being screwed out of the inaugural Margarita Friday.
Today is my mom's birthday, so I'll meet the rest of the family over there after I'm done at work. That will be good.
Here's the random ten:
Rabbit Fighter—T. Rex
Progress—Bad Religion
We Kiss in a Shadow—Martin Denny
aka I-D-I-O-T—The Hives
Hellbound Train—Three Bad Jacks
Mr. Block—Utah Phillips
Cool it Down—The Velvet Underground
Centre For Holy Wars—The New Pornographers
What We All Want—Gang of Four
In the Backseat—Arcade Fire

I've said it before, you've got a killer taste in music. I thought I was the only one who listened to Utah Phillips.
Hey-- I'd forgotten about this until recently-- when I was married to Cynthia, my now-ex-wife, Utah Phillips played a gig at our dance studio, the Flamenco Arts Center. It was a benefit to get a grave and headstone for Eddie Balchowsky, a Lincoln Brigade vet who'd died and was buried in a pauper's grave. I'll post about it soon.
PS- Don't worry-- there'll be many, many more Margarita Fridays!
Happy Birthday Bubs mom
greetings from Miami - no alligators in side - so far
Oh my what a sweet sweet list - from Gang of Four through T Rex and the VU to the Hives and New Pornos and Arcade Fire - I want to live in that list.
Happy Birthday Mama Bubs!! Bye-bye soul patch.
Detox on a Friday seems so wrong. I had one for you.
Oooh -- Gang of Four. Cool -- I remember doing a comparison/contrast with Gang of Four and early The Cure. I still have a sampler record called Mutant Pop with "Armalite Rifle."
Now I know two people who like the Three Bad Jacks. The dad in one of the families I work with plays guitar in rockabilly bands and loves the Three Bad Jacks.
Happy Birthday to your ma.
It's prolly sacrilegious to say so, but "Cool It Down" is my favorite VU song off of Loaded -- I like it even more than "Sweet Jane" and "Rock 'N Roll".
Splotchy, I think that is sacrilegious. I really do.
Ten, I got that track off a compilation called "Billy Vol. I" that's got a lot of cool stuff on it.
Erik, great song--Armalite Rifle.
Dale, you're right. It is so very wrong. I'm trying to play catch up now, and it's already early Sunday morning.
Barbara, once again half my choices are my eldest daughter's music. I confess I'm not a big fan of Arcade Fire. But I take credit for introducing her to the Hives, T Rex, Bad Religion and the New Pornographers.
Katy, glad to hear no gators so far--remember, CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
Johnny, thanks for the encouraging words. MizBubs' dad knew Eddie from when he played the Quiet Knight in the 70's.
Chris, have you ever heard the stuff Utah Phillips did with Ani DeFranco?
