ETA 12/10 - I'm taking these songs down because I don't really want the whole world downloading off our server. If you want them, email me or leave a comment.

I'm doing a little morning after editing, but I guess I'm going to have to post this public after all the work I did uploading songs last night while I was drunk. What a dork I am! I will ask you please don't stream them from the server - do a right-click and 'save target as' - because I was too drunk to remember to use YouSendIt. Maybe I'll replace them sometime later, but probably not.

Following is the mostly untouched post as I typed it...

----------------------

So we went to Norm's and had a couple a drinks, and ai was getting amourous after getting home, but eor turned on the radio because he HAD to have Kai Ryssdal.... omg I'm laughing too mcuht to type.... Garrison Keiler was on! Now, he and I love Keilor, but dude! Some southern boy talking about how he went to New England to see the fall foliage in late August (all the New Englanders in the audience laugh!) "Oh, late October..."


So he turned off the radio and put on a song that reflected his opinion of this apartment's temperature at the moment: "North, To Alaska!!" - Johnny Horton ("sam you're a lookin at a lonely lonely man").

"johnny horton and the heat???"

"No! But we can have them! "

He put on Big Red Rocket of Looooove !!!! (Reverend Horton Heat - apparently I'm losing my mind, there never was any such group as Johnny Horton AND The Heat.)

Meanwhile we were making hot water for tea. I put in my tea bag and as the color didn't change at all he said "wow... impotent!"

"Jasmine. Maybe I can sleep with it."

"Impotent... maybe you can SLEEP with it??"

So he put on Reel Big Fish: "I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend." <3 ! I love my dj sweetie!

I am soooo drunk! <3 ! <4 <5 !!!11eleven

("his toes were pointed inward from hanging on a horse, he was an old philosopher of course" ... "It's faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money" ... "peace and rain is just a way to say prosperity" - "Faster Horses," Tom T. Hall.)

wtf, I want to get laid and he wants to play old old fucked up trucker-pot-smoker songs! *giggle* and he starts telling me the literariness bethind the C.W. McCall song, "Four Wheel Drive" - the complete geeky humor of it, I LOVE hearing his explanations! I'm such a dork, I guess, but I do love the discussion of how CW McCall was actually a hippie stoner country boy and the actual places and hippie co-op restaurants he put into his songs....

...and then of course we have an argument over the cord change in "Joy To The World." I argue that everyone loves that cord change, he says it's useless and pointless... hehe. ;) (I don't need to link you that, everyone has a copy, right?)

...and then we do a comparison/contrast of "Counting Flowers on the Wall" (Statler Brothers) and "D.W. Washburn" by the Monkees. Hey, that's really very cool to dance to ("think I'll float on down to New Orleans, now")...

Okay, for those of you who already have his "Cover UP" mix you already know "Tombstone Every Mile" - he says this song was written back in the Sixties, and yeah, that stretch of woods in the Hainsville Woods is exactly the same, because you can't change the way nature works. When he used to drive that road on his way back from Presque Isle, when we were first together (when he was working for Berry Dunn as an accountant) they would see a truck-shaped swath of trees cut out from the road ("if they buried all the truckers that were lost in those woods there'd be a - "). (ps - if you only have the old version of this song DOWNLOAD THIS COVER by the Half Moon Jug Band, it's great!)

...and then we segue into 80's music to get away from reality. "Der Kommisar" ("After the Fire").

And of course, we "It's Christmas in Maine" (Bob Marley ... no, not that Bob Marley, the Bob Marley who's a comedian from Maine) - I was just thinking earlier today that Mr. Pink (who are two guys I work with) may have got their gig in Ogunquit the other day because the people at that club thought they were a gay band. ("let's go to Ogunquit, meet a nice girl and hope she's not a guy") - Ogunquit is THE gay town in Maine.

Heee - now it's "The Girl I Like Is A Diesel Dyke" (Adam Brodky) - *giggle!!* I just can't help but love this song, even before he sang it in a little bar here in Portland and offended a couple of dykes sitting next to us - they just didn't get that he MEANT it! *chortles*! :) (Looks To Alaska, I hope you remember that show?)

... "Two Old Bachelors" (The Beatroots) is like a send up of Seventies porn movie music! :)

Of course that's followed by "Fuck and Run" - Liz Phair. Well... of course. :)

And someone if they're paying close attention might notice that "Superman's Song" (AKA "Superman Never Made Any Money" - Crash Test Dummies) makes a perfect segue to...

..."Androgynous," by The Replacements (which was later covered by the Crash Test Dummies, but I do love the smoky nightclub piano on the Replacements version with the clunk-clonk-clunk ending. :))

I'm gonna quit, even though we're still playing - I've gone on far too long for anyone else's interest to still be holding. Also, I'm getting much too sober by now.

Oh wait... whooo wooo! "Orange Blossom Special" - Johnny Cash - okay, it's just fun, alright? ("well I don't care if I do da do da do da do da") - that train rhythm guitar is just cool, I'm sorry. ;)


Gosh I hope these links work. By now I'm completely sober and embarrassed enough by having written this post to not be sure I want to post it, but I'm thinking that to some extent it might fulfill my obligation to peak_in_darien's meme challenge a few days ago of posting some songs that have meaning in my life. Well, okay, not exactly, but it was a fun evening, and even though I know you won't have anywhere near the same amusement out of it that I did at least you have some music.

f-ing kroist the songs are taking forever to upload! I think I'll go to bed and leave them going.
