Friday-- 11.16.7

Today's themes seem to be heartbreak and absurdity. The two are often not far removed.

Lovin' That Girl (Is Too Hard On A Man)-- Scott Miller and the Commonwealth
Stay Together For The Kids-- blink-182
Where Do Broken Hearts Go?-- Is that Whitney Houston? I think it's Whitney Houston. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Possum Kingdom-- Toadies
Bomb--Bush (and there's two words that taste great together, eh?)
Original Prankster-- The Offspring
Is There Something I Should Know?-- Duran Duran
Solfeggio-- The Nairobi Trio
The Trooper-- Iron Maiden
Crazy Train-- Ozzy Osbourne
In My Life-- Beatles
Winning the War-- 'til tuesday


Actually recorded by Maxwell, Robert, His Harp and Orchestra (at least that's how it reads on allmusic), this song is being performed by Ernie Kovacs, Edie Adams and Jack Lemmon (the tall one with the drumsticks)as the Nairobi Trio on The Ernie Kovacs Show from back in the day. This bit had a strong impact on me as a child. I hope it scars you, too. In a good way, I mean. Totally in a good way.
