Putting to paper the ideas that were probably best left as my white trash day dreams.
My dad’s family is very proud of their Irish heritage (it’s an excuse to be a booze bag) and there is no more famous and revered Irish booze bag than the legendary Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan. Only known image of Shane without a drink I somehow managed to avoid exposure to the fantastic Celtic Punk … Continue reading Jam of the Day: Tuesday Morning
Don’t really have much to say about the state of the world right now. I’m kind of shocked I’m not posting my unibomber manifesto on here after being locked in my house for a week. Maybe once I run out of booze. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YYOKMUTTDdA Something about this song always picks me up when I’m feeling down. … Continue reading Jam of the Day: Shiny Happy People
The title describes my life 15-25, and The Strokes define their music I listened to during that time. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rOmkPrhpQGQ The second best song on the best album of the 20**s was left off the album bc of 9/11. Thanks bin laden The self styled bad boys of the aughts are out with a new album … Continue reading Jam of the Day: Bad Decisions
A happy belated birthday to American painter Norman Rockwell, who would have been 126 years old today had we frozen his head like Ted Williams (and if a janitor hadn’t fractured his skull showing it off) True story Beyond ripping off millions of Americans with his painting reprints on “collectibles” over the years, Norman recently … Continue reading Jam of the Day: Norman Fucking Rockwell
You're a goddamn liar if claim you didn't wear a bucket hat in 1998 bc of this song The story behind this song is actually pretty interesting, so sit back and relax while I tell you a tale of an incredibly talented dude who set out to intentionally become a one hit wonder. Jimmy is … Continue reading Jam of the Day: You Get What You Give
"This bed is on fire with passionate love, the neighbours complain about the noises above, but she only comes when she's on top" The opening lyrics set the tone for this timeless jam that I always remembered as that song from one of the American Pie movies. It's just one of those songs that you … Continue reading Jam of the Day: Laid
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n12OBlcHx9E Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend is one of those timeless songs which upon first listening you could be told the song came out 40 years ago or 40 days ago and believe it. The riff, sound, subject and voice surpass the confines of time, and I'll stop sniffing my own farts and simply say this song … Continue reading Jam of the Day: Girlfriend
"Hi. I've got a tape I want to play for you." The simple start, a skinny confused man walks onto the stage by himself with a guitar and a boom box and makes the above announcement, would never let on to what you're about to experience from David Byrne and The Talking Heads. The above … Continue reading Jam of the Day: Stop Making Sense
The term panty dropper gets tossed around quite lightly these days. Let's get back to the term's roots and talk about a real banger here. Beck's Debra, a soulful take on your stereotypical lounge singer, will certainly drop your basic white cottons, your silks, your thongs, and your things that're real cool that you don't … Continue reading Jam of the Day: Debra
Many years ago, I softened my bride to be's stone cold heart by sending her a song every morning to start the day. Some were sweet: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kUjFpdxFWHU Some were hard rocking bangers https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SwYN7mTi6HM Some were songs she'd introduced me to https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sZDKP5pnhhM While others I used to expand her horizons and showed her new worlds https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6PAzqBUNlCs … Continue reading Jam of the Day
