Thanks, Megan!!! And, hey, if you'd want to make a trip west on feb. 17th you'd be welcome at the New Year party. It's always a blast with amazing food.
That's not Washington's birthday is it? If so, I can't get away since that is the biggest weekend of the year here.

hmm...it might be. We have no official holidays here until Memorial day so I've lost track. We do have 3 floating holidays and i'm taking this Monday off and Tuesday. Take that, The Man!
Why is Washington's b'day so big there?
He founded the college, and, um, it's named after him. There is no escaping George here.
lisah, don't forget about
Pigs, Three Different Ones
by Pink Floyd, off the Animals album, ofcourse.
Btw, I expect this is obvious but I've only started doing this recently. Doing the blog search on Google is the fastest way I've found for nabbing obscure music tracks. It's much more efficient than the general Google search.
That Feelies cover of "Dancing Barefoot" is awesome!
Am now listening to the version by The Mission U.K. Not quite as awesome! (But still interesting. But something about his voice on this song bugs me.)
Wasn't that one of the answers in that blasted Funny Farm puzzle?
ETA: That was to Sean.

Okay, right! I knew it was something obvious that I was missing. I'm not at my sharpest today.

Yes, thanks! Somebody (not here) mentioned that already. I try not to think about Pink Floyd if I can help it.
From another blog:
"Dancing Barefoot," a Patti Smith cover, features a rare lead vocal by Brenda Sauter. I probably saw the feelies live over a dozen times, and I can't recall a single instance of Brenda getting anywhere near a microphone. She seemed content to keep in the background with her bass, but her sweet, monochromatic voice is quite effective on this cut. I prefer this version to the Smith original. Brenda later overcame her mic-shy ways in Wild Carnation, a band she formed with her husband Richard Barnes after the feelies demise.
