Someone to Love

So now that it appears that the Republicans are going to have their own pretty little sex scandal, is it just freaking possible that some of the media might start paying attention to the the pustulent trail of slime, greed, and general misdeeds of the Ruling Class?

It's even a juicy scandal involving prostitution and extortion, not just a lousy consensual hummer in a side room.

I Like the way Bob in Portland Maine puts it in today's Cheers and Jeers:

Let's see, the Republicans are up to their necks in bribery, corruption, greed, vanity and perjury. But something's missing. Something that would make their sleaziness complete. What could that be? Hmm. Ah, yes...Whores!! Oh these guys are good. Verrrry good.

jeez.

Anyway, gotta wait for the Home depot delivery boys to dropoff a bunch of rocks, so the FRT is off my Powerbook. Very different mix from my other units; be interesting to see how this one goes.

12 gigs of music, 2847 songs.


1. Eclipse from the album "Pulse [Disc 2]" by Pink Floyd Roger Waters is touring with HIS version of the Dark Side of The Moon tour. Still in the seventies, I said. What's MORE interesting is that Dick Perry, who played all that sweet sax on the Dark Side Of The Moon, also played on Sigmund Snopeks recent issue of "Trinity SiezeSeesSeas" During the promo work for that album, they played at Linnemann's and dick was there, playing some amazing solos. The funniest thing was Siggy kept calling him back up to play cuz he enjoyed playing with him so much, eventually Dick just yelled out "I don't wanna play no more, Sig! I wanna drink!" what a nice old guy.

2. Into the West from the album "Elvis Murphy's Green Suede Shoes" by Black 47 I love Black 47. Some of the most heartfelt music I've ever seen played. And political like no one's business.

3. Mountains Of Burma from the album "Blue Sky Mining" by Midnight Oil More poltiical music. Saw Midnight Oil at the PAC back in the day. Odd seeing an alternative rock band in the elegant PAC, especially with Peter Garrett's intense visage looming over it all. He's a large liberal.

4. Down In The Ground from the album "Through the Trees" by The Handsome Family Eerie alt country from a former Chicago based band, on, of course, the Bloodshot label. They wrote the Sally Timms classic "Drunk by Noon"

5. When Everybody's Happy from the album "New Times" by Violent Femmes

6. Son of a Bitch from the album "Blinking Lights and Other Revelations" by Eels I am really liking this new one from A Man Called E and his nearly self-named band the Eels. The single "Hey man (now you're really living) is excellent. I hope he comes around nearby,

7. Been Set Free from the album "Straightaways (Warner Bros)" by Son Volt Kind of a nuthin song on what is otherwise a great album. Sounds better in the midst of the other songs.

8. Blue Sky Mine from the album "Blue Sky Mining" by Midnight Oil The danger of such a meager selection. we've got repeats! Well, a repeat artist anyway. It's a good song.

9. Digger Smolken Medley from the album "Clowns In The Sky II" by Mystery Science Theater 3000 Ha! This stuff is great. Musical moments from TV's highest point.

10. Glorious from the album "Pod" by The Breeders

11. Heaven Beside You from the album "Alice In Chains" by Alice In Chains some bonus acoustic-ish grunge.

12 Speed of Life from the album "Modern" by The Buzzcocks


That's it. Enjoy some new music today. Go see a live band tonight.
