tonight's the company holiday party. i'm on the "party committee" simply so i can influence things for my own maximum enjoyment. anyway, before joining my current corporate company, i worked pretty much exclusively in restaurants and bars. my current company, by far, throws the most fancy, lavish, distinguished, and expensive (i know our budget) parties i've ever been party to. yet, they are also the most boring holiday parties i've attended by far. ah well. i can still make some fun of it.

i'd never really heard of ms. nyro before her HoF nomination. perhaps that's worth changing. congratulations on getting in.

Some good time rock and roll from 2007 in NYC
i was listening to an NPR interview with a film scorer, and they discussed the music in the third man, which i hadn't seen (sorry, filmbuffs) and hadn't heard before. pretty sweet story behind mr. karas.

i'd heard of a zither, but hadn't seen one. while listening to the interview and music, i thought, "that might be something fun to learn how to play." after seeing this clip, i thought, "nnnnoooope."
well, that was fun. anyway, back to the daily grind...

by the way, van hunt is awesome. get you some.
Alright, this one holds up a little bit better than some of the other tunes I've been playing this week.
i recognize that the butthole surfers have a wide and distinguished catalog (though i must admit to being largely unfamiliar with it). technically though, they are a one hit wonder.

1996
i will also admit to this track being semi-omnipresent during the summer of `96, and that summer being awesome.
Keeping the 90's ladies line going here today.
