The Ghost family has decided on their themed playlist for 2021 - Cats. We threw together a few songs last weekend, so we've got a 10-song start, but are always open to suggestions:

Nashville Cats - The Lovin' Spoonful
The Cat Came Back - Sonny James
The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh) - The Tokens
Stray Cat Strut - Stray Cats
Keyboard Sonata in G Minor (the "Cat Fugue") - D. Scarlatti
Eye of the Tiger - Survivor
Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats - Cats
You Can Sleep on Top of Anything - Kitty Kat Fan Club
Ev'rybody Wants to Be a Cat - Artistocats
Honky Cat - Elton John

Last year we did space and ended up with a fun mix.

The Meteors – I Don’t Worry About It

Video December 1, 2015 hungry joe

61 years ago yesterday (what, you think we're on top of things?), a woman was hit by a meteorite in her home, which led to an interesting exchange between Earth stuff and space stuff.

Whatever, I just wanna play more psychobilly.

(i've been trying to pin down an actual date for this video, but i've found contradictory answers. in all honesty, the quality of this video may belie it's actual "classic"-ness, and the technological advancement of some of the instruments lead me to believe it's sooner than later. however, i firmly believe sun ra transcends both space and time, so...)

Remodeled basement. Same half-baked taste.

In Response to April 16, 2021: Opposite Arbor Day,

- MagUidhir: We have a tree in the yard we need to have examined, and possibly removed if it’s as dead as we think it is. On the one...
In Response to April 15, 2021: Not Good,
- SBG: If the thesis in your discussion is true, all the more reason for the defense to rest the case immediately.
- Philosofer: I haven’t followed particularly closely, so I can’t speak to the direct examinations, but from a distance it has...
- TexasTwinsfan: Pitch 3 changed a 2-1 count to a 1-2 count and Vlad Jr. predictably chased a ball away later in the at-bat to end the game.
- TexasTwinsfan: Top of the 9th, 7-5 Royals, Vlad jr. up with 2 on and 2 out against Royals closer Scott Barlow: Robo-umps now!
- meat: Autocorrect at maybe its finest. (Edited because its is not it’s).
- Zee German: My mother in law bought a whole pack of midlife sports cats.
- Zee German: I can’t read/hear “risible” ; and not immediately hear Michael Palin as Pontius Pilate.
- meat: Smelt and Solvent

- SBG: I thought this right away and didn’t say anything until I saw someone else who is a defense attorney make this exact point.
- Philosofer: I suspect defense counsel wanted to work again someday…
- meat: Hake and Hooch
- freealonzo: Billable hours?
- SBG: I’m no criminal defense attorney, but I wonder why they didn’t just rest immediately and not provide any defense.
In Response to 2021 Game 13: Boston Red Sox at Minnesota Twins,
- TexasTwinsfan: Indians beat the White Sox and split four games in Chicago despite being no-hit yesterday. Twins tied with the White Sox...
- TexasTwinsfan: They should just eliminate wins altogether. Maybe show a team’s record when a pitcher starts, but other than that,...
- Beau: and starters’. if a win has to be given, it should be the starter. the rest are even more meaningless
- TexasTwinsfan: Robles with the hold, Rogers with the blown save, and Colome with the win. Wow, reliever stats are stupid.
- TexasTwinsfan: Good thing that fell in. Maybe Luis just got a great read on Kepler’s hit, but I get the feeling that it was going...
- davidwatts: Walk off!!!
- Rowsdower: Heckuva slide flop by Arraez.
- SBG:
- sean: Whew. Good thing they ended this in nine innings.
- Rhubarb_Runner: why am I not really excited right now?
- Rowsdower: Well I’ll be.
- Jeff A: YES!!!!!!
- TexasTwinsfan: I don’t think we’ll be bunting this time.
- Rowsdower: Runners on 1st & 2nd, nobody out. The Red Sox have the Twins right where they want them.
- Jeff A: That’s one way to move him to second. Can they get him the rest of the way?
- Jeff A: The leadoff man is on. Can the Twins do anything with him?
- Rhubarb_Runner: Loves me some Luis .
- Rhubarb_Runner: Runner on 2nd in the 9th? That’s not the Manfred Rule, that’s the Colome Rule
- TexasTwinsfan: Why the #$#@@! did Rocco take out Rogers in a tie game? Now we’ve already used up two of our late-inning relievers...
- TexasTwinsfan: Another lineout with RISP. Unbelievable.
- TexasTwinsfan: Agreed. Garver is hitting vs. a lefty. Or at least coming to the plate. I’d be surprised if they don’t walk...
- TexasTwinsfan: When you only need to put the ball in play and you strike out chasing twice in the same at-bat… This has not been a...
- nibbish: I’m really, really not. If Rocco lets Riddle bat here, then I have no idea what he was going for with the bunt.
- Jeff A: Nope. Strike four. Men on second and third, one out, and he can’t even put the ball in play with four strikes.
- Jeff A: Jeffers gets a break. Can he take advantage of it?
- TexasTwinsfan: Dick is all giddy after the sac bunt.
- Jeff A: The Twins with a sacrifice bunt! Rocco is really pulling out all the stops.
- TexasTwinsfan: Ugh. I just remembered Rogers is on my fantasy team. He gets the blown save and Robles gets a “hold.”
