July 14, 2011: Angry RNs

the NICU at the hospital didn't have a coffee machine, however the nurses' station at the labor and delivery department nearby did, and they gave me this fancy keycard to go in between the two. i would mosey on over (frequently) to steal a cup of coffee, and i would always get dirty looks. i would sheepishly say, "oh, hi, i'm just here from the NICU to steal some coffee." that would always soften them up, and i'd then get a sympathetic glance and they'd said, "of course, take as much as you want." score.

Merle Haggard – Sidewalks of Chicago

"if i buy the bread, then i can't afford the wine..."

for some reason, i can imagine burnett walking aimlessly around the south side with a bottle in his hand, but i can't picture mijares doing the same. i'm not sure what that means. anyway, here's an old favorite of mine:

Elliott Smith – Independence Day

i decided to go with one of the lesser obvious choices.

EDIT: well, the video i posted was available last night, but not anymore. stupid copyright infringement. less than 10 of you watched it, right? wait, silly question. anyway, let's go with the acoustic version.


1999

see if you can hear smith's under the breath response to the obligatory idiot yelling the "freebird!"

Walt Mink – Stood Up

walt mink is one of my favorites that also suffers from a lack of decent live videos. i considered playing them back on my guest DJ week, but the lack of quality material prevented me. el producto was ubiquitous during the greatest summer of my life, and should have been their breakthrough album (it even got a 10.0/10.0 from pitchfork, back when pitchfork was this little website that you'd probably never heard of). unfortunately, success stayed just around the corner, and they disbanded in 1997. in all its phasey glory, walt mink:

i also encourage you to go out and find their studio werks. best band named after a macalester professor in the business.

Keith Richards & Norah Jones – Love Hurts

i was considering playing a band from boston called "the sprained ankles" that are about as awful as the route _elm_n took on that ball. instead, lets go with a song that sums up what it feels like to be a twins fan sometimes.

yup, that's keith richards making norah jones horribly uncomfortable at a gram parsons tribute concert.
