Afternoon Delight

No, not THAT kind. Get your mind out of the gutter!



Just the sweet sound of Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers singing "Sleep Like a Baby" from Sonoran Hope and Madness. This was CoasterGirl's favorite song when she was younger. She still loves it.

Haul Out the Holly...

Wow. The Christmas season snuck up on me this year, even considering I've been planning a party for W.'s office-mates. Maybe it was the late Thanksgiving this year that did me in. Regardless, I need some help getting in the Christmas spirit. I still have a wooden pumpkin on my front door, and not a single bit of tinsel in sight.

I'm waiting to haul out the holly until after tomorrow, when we'll have new carpet installed in our living room. Until then, I suppose I'll just have to make do with the ultimate get-in-the-Christmas-mood song (at least for me): "We Need a Little Christmas". Here's Johnny Mathis singing his heart out about candles in the windows and carols at the spinet:



Enjoy!

Today's Earworm

As I was taking CoasterBoy to daycare this morning, I caught Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" on the radio. But I was disappointed - the music I caught first was the snippet from Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London"...and no offense to Kid Rock, because he obviously has great taste in music, but I had to search YouTube for the real thing.




Of course, now I've been singing "Werewolves of London" all day, and I can't get it out of my head. So I figured I'd share the love.

Enjoy!

A Little Ear Candy

To make the afternoon go by more quickly:



And a little camp to make it fun.

"Sweep the Leg" by No More Kings.

Cobra Kai!

Music to Crunch Numbers By

"I've Just Seen a Face" sung by Jim Sturgess in Across the Universe.

Have you seen this movie? I love it! A musical using Beatles songs - what could be better? Why, a musical using Beatles songs starring Jim Sturgess, of course!

What I'm Listening To Tonight

Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, baby. "Maybe We Should Fall in Love" from No More Beautiful World.

I love this band - they're mostly straight up rock n' roll with a Southwest flavor, though on different songs you'll hear echoes of country and reggae. They were in Atlanta last night - I'm so bummed I missed them. Their live shows are great, as are their fans.

I must now go have a drink with tequila in their honor.
