Wow...is it Friday already? Why, so it is.
This promises to be an interesting weekend. She Who Must Be Obeyed is hosting a baby shower this Sunday, which means there will be all sorts of frantic cookage and cleanage disrupting my peaceful Saturday. The cookage I understand; when you have a horde of chattering wimmin in the house, you have to give them something to eat, lest they begin devouring the sofa cushions. But the cleanage? The house will be far filthier after they all leave...so what is the point, exactly, of cleaning it before they show up?
There are the kinds of questions only a Feckin’ Eejit would dare ask on a blog that his spousal unit reads.
And so, before the hammer comes down, let’s brighten things by taking a peek at this week’s Musical Miscellany, barfed out at random by the iPod d’Elisson. What’s playing today?

- Tell Me Why - The Beatles
- Canned Music - Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks
Canned music, canned music
Playing on the radio
Canned music, canned music
Without a doubt it doesn’t go
Favorites on the jukebox
Are only half the show, when it’s
Canned music, canned music
A little before she left me
I asked her what it’s all about
She said I feel like dancin’
I feel like stepping out
I took her with the van
Where the band was on the stand, playin’
Live music live music
She got us on the dance floor
To me it was a sight
I never seen my baby movin’
Like the moves she made on me that night
I did not have a chance
The way that music made me dance
It was some
Live music, live music
(It ain’t canned)
Canned music, canned music
Playing on the radio
(It ain’t canned)
Canned music, canned music
Without a doubt it doesn’t go
Favorites on the jukebox
Are only half the show, when it’s
Canned music, canned music
The rhythm was all around us
We was really steppin’ out
My baby said I'm livin’ for this music
I asked her what it’s all about
She said I’m such a silly girl
This stuff has got me in a whirl, ain’t it
Live music, live music
And that was the night she left me
Danced herself into my memory
My baby had to leave me for the drummer
I guess I’ll never solve that mystery
I think I’ve learned my lesson
Just don’t get too near the band, when it’s
Live music, live music
A little before she left me
I asked her what it’s all about
She said she feel like dancin’
She feel like stepping out - The Grotto - Bernard Herrmann, Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)
- The Mikado, Act II: Brightly Dawns Our Wedding Day - D’Oyly Carte Opera Company
- Luna - Smashing Pumpkins
- Samson and Delilah - The Barry Sisters and Jan Bart with Sam Medoff and the Yiddish Swingtet
- King Kong: Suite - Charles Gerhardt / National Philharmonic Orchestra
From the 1932 version of King Kong, the only one that matters. Max Steiner’s atmospheric score is such a perfect counterpoint to the action on the screen, it’s hard to imagine anyone doing a better job of putting music on film...even the legendary Bernard Herrmann. - Animal Zoo - Spirit
- Women and Men - They Might Be Giants
- I Am The Walrus - The Beatles
The first and last songs on today’s Random Ten list are from The Beatles. It is a continual source of astonishment (to me) that the same group could produce two songs so dissimilar, a mere three years apart...
