Here's hoping the Wolves season is more like the song title and less like the band's name.

Y'all missed Mid-Summer Mardi Gras last night. Here's house performing the quintessential Mardi Gras tune live from Warsaw.
John Doe and The Sadies – Stop The World And Let Me Off
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieQq87uoKHs
John Doe certainly is looking the part of a country and western rocker on this cover of one of my favorite tunes.
The Black Eyed Snakes – Bo Diddley
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl8XQ7WGfHQ
All that talk about bands with black in their names made me remember how much I heart the black eyed snakes. Maybe it's just nostalgia for my days in Duluth.
They Might Be Giants – Tubthumping
I guess we're going with a little tour of my musical self-education this week... and today hits two of my favorites from high school. Flood was of seminal importance in my listening development, and I've been to more TMBG shows and own more TMBG albums than any other band (a fact made fairly easy by their significant catalog). Chumbawamba on the other hand? My brother got the CD just for "Tubthumping" and decided he didn't like anything else on it. I pretty much liked everything else on it (and I liked "Tubthumping" too). It was subversive and intelligent and, for anarchists, amazingly structured. Anyway, a year or two ago TMBG covered Chumbawamba and I love them even more for it.

Also, it doesn't appear to be on Youtube, but you should go find Chumbawamba's cover of "New York Mining Disaster 1941." Hauntingly beautiful.
Otis Redding – Satisfaction

For those of you playing along at home, this is Otis Redding playing the Rolling Stones' Satisfaction better than they do. 1966
Marilyn Monroe – Happy BIrthy (Mr. President)
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqolSvoWNck
It's my birthday, and well, yeah, this is the song I choose.
On a different note, I've been known to do a wicked impression of this, but I'd never actually seen this clip. Talk about a bygone era.
