I'm The Root Of All That's Evil, Yeah But You Can Call Me Cookie - TT 47

Intellectually this is about as good as I get right now. The song is also my response to all the lovely stressers in my life and the ever spiraling Cluster Fuck that is my work load.

With that in mind I am doing a musical cop-out Thursday Thirteen for you today. Oooh, so original! At least my iPod should provide some musical schizophrenia for you.

1. Fire Water Burn - The Bloodhound Gang. See today's post title. I love these guys. They are the worst of frat humor but significantly smarter than your average frat dude. See today's post title. And that's Miss Cookie if you're nasty. Oh warning on listening to this one outloud cause we got many many F bombs launched. This is not the actual video, it's Microwave Cam featuring the song. I am finding it compelling as hell. Especially the Peeps Bunnies.



2. Zoo Station - U2. My boys. My boys who have apparently scrapped the Moroccan Prayer music and redid their new album that is SUPPOSED to arrive in October. To quote you, Bono, just gimme what I want and no one gets hurt. Seeing that this IS my favorite band, they get a wee bit more lyric love than the rest ;)

"I'm ready for the gridlock
I'm ready...to take it to the street
I'm ready for the shuffle
Ready for the deal
Ready to let go of the steering wheel"

This is the live Zoo Station in Sydney clip. Pretty easy to see why this tour reigns supreme as the most amazing spectacle concert evah. I'd give my left nut and everyone else's to be able to go back in time and see this. But a Europe date cause I love Mephisto more than the Mirrorball man.




3. Talent Show - The Replacements. Yeah it is from Don't Tell A Soul which means most Mat's fans are gonna get all pissy and bitch and moan about "commercial sounding" albums. And they can bite my bag. "I ain't much to look out so, close your eyes and here we go." Paul Westerberg is the man. Another band I wish I had seen.

This is a live clip and I love it cause Paul asks "what the hell are we doing here?" right before they kick it. The Mat's are now a requirement. I will not date anyone who is not Mat's fan. Oh and the morality tard beeped the line "feeling good from the pills we took" cause god knows drug references have no place in Rock Music!





4. Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve. It's amazing how often my random shuffle plays this song. And Nirvana. But really, it is like it senses I am gonna kill and gives me a dose of this song. My shuffle's device name is Thorazine. As in Thorazine Shuffle. The medical folks and Randall P. McMurphy fans will get that one. Think this song is a coincidence? "I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me." My all time favorite song ever. I am going out on this song.



5. Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus. Oh this song is so tasty. Seriously it is one of my all time favorite One Hit Wonders. "Her name is Noel I have a dream about her She rings my bell I got gym class in half an hour Oh how she rocks In Keds and tube socks" The video is funny too, with Mr American Pie himself scoring tickets to Iron Maiden and Mira Sorvino.



6. Cities In Dust - Siouxsie and The Banshees. The Queen of the Bromley contingent and a personal favorite. Great song. And we can add Grosse Pointe Blank to the gotta watch list as this can be found on the Soundtracks. Cusack has great taste in music. Which is to say it is similar to mine "Your former glories and all the stories Dragged and washed with eager hands." All Hail the Godmother of Goth!




....This is kinda fun although I sure hope my shuffle does not embarrass me **cough NSYNC, Spice Girls cough ** and it does break up the work day. Cause this is happening live baby live. As I work. Go Multitasker Girl!.....

7. Ain't Even Done With The Night - Mr. Johnny Cougar Mellencamp. I adore Mellencamp even though that has never been cool. This is one of my all time favorites. "You got your hands in my back pockets and Sam Cook's singing on the radio." The video is a flashback to 1981. You remember....when MTV played videos ;)



8. Trip Like I Do - Filter and Crystal Method. Glow stick, glow stick, glow stick! So there we have a definite musical whiplash....Southern Rock to Rave-ville USA! I be am diverse, yo.

I like house/trance/rave whatever ya wanna tag it. But not all of it. This is one of my favorites available on the Spawn Soundtrack. "I've got the world on my back but I don't seem to care I've got the comprehension of a world unaware yeah."



9. Virginia Plain - Roxy Music. SUCH AN AWESOME SONG! Kidlets favorite Roxy song. It's from their first album when Brian Eno was still flying on the keyboards. This is not Avalon and More Than This Roxy Music. "Baby Jane's in Acapulco, We are flying down to Rio." This is what Eno was up to before he got into the business of throwing away "Streets" for U2 ;)





10. Word Up - Korn. Yeah you read that right. Not Cameo of the Red Cod Piece but Jonathan Davis and Co covering Cameo. I FRICKIN LOVE THIS VIDEO. I want a Jonathon Dog."Do you dance, do your dance quick Mama, come on baby, tell me what’s The Word, ah – word up!"




11. Run On - Moby. Moby's album Play is one of my all time favorite albums. The use of old blues and gospel is amazing. This one uses God's Going to Cut You Down. See the video since this one never made radio that I know of. I so should have kept this album and given the ex a burned copy. "Tell the gamblin', ramblin' backslider tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down."





12. Warning - Green Day. I love Green Day. 1994 was a good year for music. "Sanitation, expiration date, question everything Or shut up and be a victim of authority." Besides Billie is one of us aka an Aquarius. And we rock.




13. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend - The Ramones. Hey Ho! What else is there to say. This is live from Paris.
