'Safe'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Fun songs I'm listening to tonight (all recently purchased):
Shitlist - L7
Sweet F.A. - The Sweet
Sunny South Kensington - Donovan
The Gun Club Song - Thelonius Monster
Oh Babe - Thomas Eubanks/Rock City (proto Big Star)
Ballrooms of Mars - T. Rex
Unsolved Child Murder - Auteurs
Long White Cadillac - Blasters (finally have them on CD)
Elvis Is Everywhere - Mojo Nixon & Skip Roper
Siren Song - This Mortal Coil
Sunny South Kensington - Donovan
Donovan has been circling around me lately. I might need to get some.
Ballrooms of Mars - T. Rex
Such a cool, cool song . . . . And they name drop like nobody else.
Elvis Is Everywhere - Mojo Nixon & Skip Roper
I love this track. L-O-V-E it. Used to play it during my brief radio DJ phase. But isn't one of them dead?
Siren Song - This Mortal Coil
I hate to pick on that nit, but it's "Song to the Siren."
Elvis Is Everywhere - Mojo Nixon & Skip Roper
I have the CD this track is on, but isn't it Skid Roper?

No, that's a nit worth picking.
but isn't it Skid Roper?
Indeed, I am the man who needs a fact checker tonight.
SA! You're in London now! I might be sending you email about a cd I'm looking for, and that I would cheerfully send you money via PayPal for.
Oh, which reminds me that I've been looking for a copy of the Divine Comedy's A Secret History for a while now, but Amazon says it's out of stock and my local stores only have DC's latest, Absent Friends. David, is that something you think might turn up at Amoeba?
David, is that something you think might turn up at Amoeba?
I'm certain of it. Also, I own it and could burn it for you.
Oooooh, David, you're like magic. Thank you! Whichever is easiest for you (and if you do end up buying it, let me know and I'll send you a check, of course).

No problem. Just let me know. In fact, I might know about it already.
We're having our 5th annual St. Patrick's party in March. There's a huge parade up the street from us and we're pretty much stuck here for the day, so we started inviting people over and now it's a huge thing. Anyway, now that we're on year 5, I want to do it up right. Invitations (well postcards with maps and the rules), supplies and a playlist with some good drinking songs.
I have this so far:
The Business- Guiness Boys
Mojo Nixon- Gin Guzzlin' Frenzy
The Pogues- Streams of Whiskey
Stuffy Shmitt-Goodnight Irene (I wanted the Habitual Sex Offenders version, but can't find it anywhere)
Dropkick Murphys- Kiss Me I'm !#**@faced!
Lowest of the Low- Letter from Bilbao
Any suggestions?
The Amps - Empty Glasses
