I was working out a post in my head on the way across the street to my coffee shop this morning. It was about the detritus on my floor and the somewhat humorous qualities therein. After ordering my coffee, I was standing over by the news rack looking over the latest issue of the Post and the excitingly uninvestigative news when Concrete Blonde's Joey blurted out of the speakers. An actual live radio station chose to play a Concrete Blonde song. This pretty much blew my mind and I forgot the series of jokes I had laid out about how much of a mess my apartment is and how fulsome still beats me in that regard.
I thought AG was the only other person in the world who actually chose to listen to this band.
So anyway, tonight Snag, Clif and I going to solve all this shit going on in the world. There may be signs. There may be drinks. There may even be some form of pork.

Dork,

If memory serves me (and it might not, given that I have more than blogging in my life), I believe you may have had a post where you talked about listening to this band in high school. I think you suggested it "was a difficult time in your life" or some shit like that.
How making fun of you on said post by quoting Joey lyrics, which can be Googled, can imply I am a CB lover is beyond me.
You are just being snarky because you're going to see Snag and Clif tonight. Like I would want to be part of that sad little sperm-fest!
Piss Off,
AG
shut up! Mexican Moon is a great album!
Haha, kathleen. That album is like a gothy version of the Refreshments.
UC ratted you out on the blogs months ago, AG. You wouldn't let him change the channel when it came on the car stereo at some point. Also, before you fly off the handle any further, like anything can prevent that, notice how I said "the only OTHER person". Dingbat.
I think you suggested it "was a difficult time in your life" or some shit like that.
The level of dismissiveness in that really made me laugh.
I completely forgot a key detail in my last Random 11, about the local band playing Loverboy covers. These guys were pounding through an assload of usual classic rock stuff, when all of sudden they launched into "Joey." It was especially amusing with a male vocal. Then it was right back to the usual rock and roll hoochie coo. Talk about a WTF moment.
And Bloodletting has a few good songs on it, regardless of whether you're going through a difficult time in your life or some shit like that.
I would love to learn to play a guitar to sing surf versions of songs usually sung by women. Just to really fuck with people.
Chuckles singing a medley of "I am Woman" and "Delta Dawn" would be a highlight in this nation's cultural life.
And won't AG be surprised when we send her a picture from tonight and she finds out I'm not the man she thinks I am, but am really an Italian supermodel? We'll see who's laughing then.
UC is full of shit. Like for example how he had Nelson in some iTune thing that Pinko Punko accused me of having. Then I showed up on 3Trannies and was like, what?!! I didn't even know about his iTune fetish let alone Nelson or whatever the hair band was.
So, having some "ratted out" story that is neither true nor verified as true does not give the right to slander me. You slander me based on your sad little music choices and some unverified "story" by UC? Like UC would even know CB if it came up and bit him on the arse. He's a Canuck. They barely get AM radio in the tundra, let alone FM rock hit stations.
Seriously, why don't you find someone else to bother for a while!
When Jewel first broke out with "You were meant for me", I was in San Diego where we listened to a lot of Rugburns and Steve Poltz. The story was that song was originally Steve's, but when he sang it, it was totally a stalker song rather than a sad love break-up song. So awesome.
I say go for it Chuckles. I want to hear your version of some Sarah McLachlan tunes.
"I am woman"
Surf Sarah Mclachlan.
Just maybe the dumbest thing ever but would totally win me some ironically humored fans. Legions of hipsters smiling at me while I belt out Adia or whatever, never letting themselves actually laugh, never looking the girls they like in the eye for more than .68 seconds, never wearing anything but that same sweater.
hmmmm
