On second thought, I may have been thinking of Slade - which I guess means I should never visit Wolverhampton in case this comes out.
A little late for brunch in my time-zone, but others might still be able to fit it in:
Charlie Parker All-Stars:
Perhaps
Marmaduke
Steeplechase
Merry Go Round
And now, finally, I am done with all eight discs of my Charlie Parker box set. At least, for this year.

As I said above, re: Floyd, just don't listen to the classic rock radio station.
My alternatives [pun intended] on the radio here are county, country, country, or 24/7 Steelers Talk Radio. When it's not football season, the latter is even more boring than usual, if that's even possible!
Sadly, the satellite radio Mrs Gersen installed in my car for the drive up here from Texas stopped functioning somewhere in Ohio. Mrs Gersen thinks it's the mountains, although I'm at a loss as to how they'd block signals coming from space.

One of the benefits of driving a '97 Towncar (sadly, not a '98 Oldsmobile) is I've still got a tape player!
Satellite radio? Kindle? Xfinity On Demand?
Pah!
Vive le General Ludd!

I'm trying to understand why I like this song so much -- it's like a compulsion whenever I'm on the computer at home.
"His mother bought him a synthesizer/Brought The Human League in to advise her."

"The five years we have had have been such good times/I still love you"
You know, I've been listening to this song, off and on, for 20 years now, and I don't think I ever realized he was singing "Suck on my eyes" before.

How strange.
And, I had to check this one out after seeing the advertisment a million times:
Payola, you think?

Isn't it funky, now?
Isn't it funky, now?
30 seconds in and I've already favorited it.
Not sure, seeing as I'm a Protestant atheist.
I painted and rearranged my nest over the weekend and was able to find room to put in another bookcase, which meant I could transfer three boxes of books from storage to my shelves.
Found Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian and Other Essays.
On Catholic and Protestant Skeptics
Haven't read it in decades (well, at least one), so I don't remember now if it's in here, or if it was someone else entirely, who commented on the differences between Catholic (scatological) and Protestant (blasphemy) cursing.
Me, I like both kinds.

I've always wanted to count how many times he says "I know".
It's hard. I count 21. Maybe 26. I keep losing track...

Nice to hear that Bluetones tune again :)
As for Black Belt Jones - YOW!, as the man himself would say while punching bad people repeatedly in the face.
At the moment, lots of Shin Joon Hyung related stuff, such as this and this, featuring the Pearl Sisters as well. Gets a bit samey, but a nice sound.
And I Barittas. If you're hungry for men dressed as Italian shepherds going through a vigorous twist routine, dig in.
And some stuff in Swedish:
Kajehase, what's this one about, please?

*Raises glass* RIP and drink less in the afterlife: Harry Nilsson - Don't Forget Me
Kajehase, what's this one about, please?And some stuff in Swedish:
A shipwreck off the island/fishing village of Smögen.
The Blue Bird (a brig, which you could probably figure out even if you don't speak Swedish) is caught in a storm off the Swedish west coast, so the captain says to have the Swede, Karl Stranne, take the wheel and secure him to it, as he knows the waters. This doesn't help, and Stranne tells the captain they're going to hit a reef, but that he's sure his old man will set out along with the other fishermen in the village.
He's right, but as Stranne's father is taking the captain away from the sinking ship, he asks if his son was on the ship, and the captain realises they've forgotten to cut him loose from the wheel. Oh, and it's all set on Christmas Eve.
So... very melodramatic.

Not what I was expecting to do tonight.
tonight I was buying tix to see Queens of the Stone Age with The Killers opening...and Volbeat (AGAIN!) with HIM and Airbourne opening...when I notice a message in my inbox from DOOMTREE. Dessa is having a pre-sale for her new disc and I clicked on the her first single track from the cd.
Ive watched it three times in a row...she is perfect in my eyes. I love her and I hope she continues to make music. I also bought tix to her Kansas City show.
EDIT: now 4 times. I would like to marry this woman!
No Monday Morning Jazz Brunch today, I am afraid.
Am in mourning for last night's Total Party Kill that ruined my Galtan Gulag campaign.
Actually, come to think of it:

I was at a feminist rally two Sundays ago, and I was spurred by the music choices to remember a comic I read for a little bit.
All the 90s Britpop reminded me of it, too.
Turns out it features a Scout Niblet performance, too.
Anyway, the third to last page features our phallocentric hero trying to defeat the Goddess by invoking the powers of Greg Dulli.
I was amused to discover that the NH feminists were rockin' out, pre-show, to the Whigs and Al Green.
