Note to Red Sox fans: Joe Pernice has recorded a very silly song about Manny Ramirez.
He and Bob (I guess) were in the booth with Jerry Remy and Sean McDonough (or Don Orsillo) on NESN the other night talking about the song. I hadn't heard the song, and had no idea who they were (I missed the introductions).
Cut the Robbie Fulks track, if it's not too late.
No way, man, I love that song. Country songs about screwball comedy actresses are always gold with me.
Hec's Top Five Country Songs About Screwball Comedy Actresses
(after "Jean Arthur" by Robbie Fulks):
"Irene Dunne and the Trail of Tears" - Johnny Cash
"I Still Remember Myrna Loy" - Willie Nelson
"Carole Lombard Is A Lonesome Fugitive" - Merle Haggard
"She's a Ball of Fire" - Lefty Frizzell (about Babara Stanwyck, 'natch)
"Claudette Hike That Skirt For Me" - Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys
Thanks, Jon. The Manny song is mine!
I'm recusing myself because I already listened to both segments (
Erin asks, Dan Savage answers.)
I wouldn't purposely keep you twisting, Hayden. Mostly a), mixed with some spaciness and general (current events-driven) bummed-outedness making it hard to concentrate. I'm not offended. I'm kinda hungry, but not offended.
Sorry about the hunger and any other events driving your bummed-outedness. I was just kidding around.
News: Tobey Torres is no longer with Snake River Conspiracy. The new chick they have singing is OK, I suppose, but doesn't seem to have quite the same oomph.
Back from a concert. The Reputation, Visqueen, The Muffs.
I am now partially deaf.
Although I like Blueberry Boat a hell ofa lot - and am hugely grateful to hayden for it - I think I still pefer Gallowsbird Bark. I find myself humming the songs from GB a lot more often.
