Christmas?

Scott Weiland.   Dave Navarro.   Too much hotness.

Euphoria Morning, Part 2

When I wrote about Chris Cornell’s Euphoria Morning over a year ago, I thought I was done discovering it.   Apparently I’m not.

For the time being I’ve given up burning compilation CDs of my favorite songs or flavors of the week to listen to in my car because for whatever reason (I suspect a sound quality issue, although you wouldn’t expect that from car audio listening — there is no such thing as good sound quality in a car.   Hm.), I get tired of them after a week or so & then I have to burn another one.    However, original copy CDs seem to stay in my car forever.   It’s just something I noticed, & since I’ve begun listening only to actual albums I’ve actually thrown out a stack of blank Mitsui Golds because they were old.

So, I have a thing for J.R. Richards.

You guys remember “Counting Blue Cars,” right?   Most of the folks I know, being karaoke bar frequent flyers, will recall it as the song with the cab driver & all the different weirdo fares in the back seat.   I missed out on practically a decade of music videos because of my little tv boycott, & it wasn’t until recently I finally saw the actual video.

I looked it up after viewing “Somewhere In The Middle,” during which I realized, with some startlement, that not only was the lead singer of Dishwalla kind of hot, but he seriously did not have moves.   But it didn’t matter, because he had the most ridiculously sexy voice.

16 Songs That I Can’t Sing

But have tried to. Or still try to.

I’ve arranged these songs (done by the original artists, who CAN sing them) in a playlist for your listening pleasure. And then I’ve made a list of what happens when I try to sing them. Please click on the “Pop Out Player” button for the playlist, which should open in another window.

When I walked in, Ari was helping T sweep up the carnage left from last night.    T was picking up the mess behind the bar & I could see dried up crap all over the tables, so I started wiping them down.   We’re used to the place looking & smelling like shit every Sunday.   It’s not the Saturday night help; it’s the Saturday night afterparty.   There’s no one to clean up for the afterparty & God knows it’s not going to be them.

T went to one of the restrooms to find that he had a bunch of dried up puke to clean up.   Does he ever have the shitty job some days.

Two blondes walk into a bar.

They sit down in front of the well & the 1st blonde asks the bartender, “So, do you guys have karaoke tonight?”

The bartender says, “Yes we do.   Do you want to see a book?”

And you thought it was going to be a joke of some kind.

I had a room full of singers & nobody singing.

I got into the bar around 8pm as usual.   As usual, it started off quite slowly, which is actually just fine for me, since 1) I have this need to organize/clean everything just so or else I can’t function properly, & 2) it gives me some quality time with T, who isn’t just my boss but my very good friend.   We talk about bar stuff.   Stuff you guys would probably find extremely boring, but we find endlessly interesting.

For T’s birthday, cartoon artist & all-around hot guy Pineapple Man came in to help out with the running of the karaoke as well as ballpoint pen portrait art.   Although the night started out fairly quietly (“Did you tell anyone it was your birthday?” “No. Did you?” “Uh.”), it didn’t stay that way, & P Man’s assistance ended up being invaluable.

Karaoke didn’t start until 10ish, when all we had in the bar was P Man, Jojo, King B, & a couple of new people, both very nice, who I will christen Boobilicious & Boobilicious’ Guy Friend.   I mean, really.   She had really nice ones.   My goodness.

This past Sunday Mele was the most drunk I have ever seen him.  And that’s saying a lot.   We discussed it in WoW the next day:
