Hey. If you're getting a lot of action, you don't need to announce it at the top of your lungs at work. It just makes everyone feel really awkward. Trust me. (Especially if three customers in the next room hear you. Heads up on that one.)


One of my very favorite things to do is to tell people what to listen to. This is why I created the internationally recognized Weekly 5. This is something I haven't done for a long time, so here's a Weekly 5(+, depending on how I feel). Because I hate to disappoint.

Here are five songs that I can't stop listening to this week. I think you all know what song 5 is going to be.

-ZZ Top - Tush (Fandango)
When I think of ZZ Top, I always think of this song. While I'm a fan of "Cheap Sunglasses" and "Sharp Dressed Man" and "La Grange" and the others, this song tops them all. Solid fucking rock.

-Thelonius Monk - 'Round Midnight ('Round Midnight)
I rock out. Hardcore. I still like jazz a lot, though, and this Monk track kicks my ass. In a jazz way.

-ELO - Don't Bring Me Down (All Over The World: The Very Best Of The Electric Light Orchestra)
"DON'T BRING ME DAAAAOOOOWWNN.... BRRRRUCE!"

-Tom Waits - Fumblin' With The Blues (The Heart Of Saturday Night)
Not growly, not gentle... just Tom. It's hard to win when you always lose.

-Shakira - Hips Don't Lie (Oral Fixation, Vol. 2)
FUCK yes. I can't get enough of this song.

Also, I'm starting to plan out The Official Homegrown '06 Schedule. Let me know if you're in.
