The Mental Jukebox-- Saturday 11.24.7

That's right, no Jukebox for Friday. There were songs playing in my head but I was too busy engaging in holidalarity to list them as I normally do.
Today, however, is back to business as usual.

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas-- Perry Como, I think

No kidding. First song I heard this morning, as soon as I woke up. That filled me with a sense of foreboding. Impending doom. Sweater vests.

Go Now-- Moody Blues

Obviously a hold over from a couple of days ago. When my dad is here, I always think of the Moody Blues.

Gravity Kills-- ABC
Balls to the Wall-- Accept

Again with the Accept! Maybe in my head, something is gearing up for an Accept vs. Scorpions grudgematch.

Goodbye, Earl-- Dixie Chicks
In Bloom-- Nirvana
Horse With No Name-- America
Home Again-- Oingo Boingo

Ah... Home Again... that's a good childhood memory. The music has real tension and urgency, while lyrically there's a hopelessness and slavishness remeniscent of and arguably superior to Synchronicity II.
And check out the hot video! Something is going to happen!
Wait... no, it's not.
There's a possibility of a thing...
No.
Just listen to the song.

The Mental Jukebox-- Thanksgiving edition

If you celebrated this holiday, I really hope you had a good one. Mine was strictly of the awesome. My folks came down from Kentucky to eat with us. We hung out, watched three movies, drank copious amounts of alcohol and ate a lot of food. Good times, good times... the likes of which we haven't had for quite a while.

I cooked everything and my list is really short, but for a holiday, the fact that I even have a list at all is sort of impressive, don't you think?

Legend of a Mind-- Moody Blues
27 Jennifers-- Mike Doughty
In The Valley of Dying Stars-- Superdrag
These Things-- She Wants Revenge

I don't understand why The Beatles and the Rolling Stones get all the glory while bands like The Who and The Moody Blues go underappreciated and practically unnoticed. Here's a classic track from the Moodies, complete with ruffly shirt fronts.
