Doin' the Tuesday Shuffle...

I'm in it... official spring fever dumps. It snowed again and I am having a hard time trudging to the end of the driveway in the disgusting mud and snow. blargh. Its been an interesting couple of days, I am thinking I had such a killer birthday weekend that this may be the cause of da mood... although I am quite sure it just may be something else.

I posted a T Rex video this morning on ye olde facebook... my little man Cael kept giving me his Jeepster (it truly must be love... he's a lot like his daddy) so I bust out the song... man oh man... I can almost feel the warm wind and smell the inside of my sweet Joe's old beater truck when I hear it... le sigh (in a good way)... When we first started dating (1994!!!) I made him a Marc Bolan doll sitting in a huge silver papier mache rocketship. The doll is still kickin' around but the ship is long, long gone.

So its time for the weekly pod shuffle... I am liking this routine. Its keeping me on a bit of a blogging schedule... lol... here are your 10 songs yo!

1. Once Burned ~ Todd Rundgren
2. Mating Ritual of The Bespectacled ~ Miss Murgatroid
3. Wev'e Only Just Begun ~ Claudine Longet
4. In Hopes of a Garden ~ Steppenwolf
5. Boll Weevil ~ Leadbelly
6. Dwarfish Trumpet Blues ~ Tyrannosaurus Rex
7. Seen and Not Seen ~ Talking Heads
8. Reset ~ Big Boi feat Khujo Goodie & Cee-Lo
9. C'mon Feel the Noise ~ Titan
10. Evil Part 2 ~ John Du Cann

I had to skip 2 that time because Leadbelly and Todd Rundgren came up twice... Its funny how your ipod can be spot on sometimes... ha ha ha... and other times it like wtf?? I listen to that!? hee hee hee... this is a good shuffle for me today :)

Its funny... with this latest rash of spring fever, I have been really thinking about the last few years. I think it is the same for others lately too... I have read so many posts from people waxing poetic about the 90s... and Veruca Salt... Veruca Salt? I really loved the whole Riot Grrrrl scene, but I just don't correlate this band with the movement. It could very well be that I was knee deep in glam for most of the decade... lol... and love... and Love... lol... I think it was my 10 years of the 70's... :)

Anyways. I had better get spinning. I need to update the shop again, and I am hoping to squeeze in some new Prims... that will be another post!

xoxo ~ as always

Do the Shuffle!

Ah yes... I remember fondly back in the 70's when I was living in Chile and I fronted a neo-prog-politico band called Noche de Brujas. We followed Alejandro Jodorowsky religiously until his exile... then we disbanded and I was born again in 1975 to a beautiful young lady in Biloxi , Mississippi... or was that all just a sweet, sweet dream?

Oh! Music!!! There has been a lot of talk recently among my friends of music and what they listen too. Truth is, I spend so much time anymore with the kids, PBS and el computero that I have hardly listened to anything of my own in quite some time. There is always, ALWAYS music playing in the haus as soon as Joe comes home so I never feel a lack of it in my life (it is always that way when you live with a musician)and it is always good. So when faced with the question "What music do you listen too lately?" I come up with... hmmm... that group I heard on Sesame Street??!! Wha??!!

So, I am dusting off and juicin' up ye olde ipod... prepare thyself. I am listening to and posting the first ten songs NO MATTER WHAT. I will skip over a band if it has already been played, that is my only stipulation. I'll try to do this regularly... you can learn a lot about someone by what they listen too. I will too.

1. Deadbeat ~ The Ghastly Ones
2. Sally Goodin' ~ Woody Guthrie
3. Happy Hunting Ground ~ Sparks
4. Jim ~ Sarah Vaughan & Clifford Brown
5. When You Were Mine ~ Prince
6. Shackles And Chains ~ Steppenwolf
7. The Cowboy Disciple ~ Frank Pahl
8. This Little Monkey ~ The Demolition Doll Rods
9. Lojack Leviathan ~ The Shapeshifters
10. Vegetable Friend ~ Robyn Hitchcock

I am only listing the songs, not the album. Seriously, who would have thought that the single would make its triumphant return and become a mainstay again?! Whatever happend to the conceptual album! Could Frank Zappa or Captain Beefheart get a record contract on a major label these days? Probably not... if they did put out an album... Phish would most likely be the ones to produce it. And, it would be awesome, but only music geeks like my husband and I would listen to it!

Have fun diggin' in if you so choose!! I'll post another playlist next week! Groove on!

xoxo~ Your favorite dweeb
