This evening at sundown, Jews mark the beginning of the eight-day festival of Chanukah. We’ll be celebrating here at Chez Elisson, not least because Elder Daughter will be flying in from Washington, D.C. to spend some Quality Time with us.
In accordance with a long-standing tradition, we will feast on Chinese Food and potato latkes: It is our way of remembering the Momma d’Elisson.
But meanwhile, it is Friday, which means it’s time to check out this week’s randomly generated list of musical selections, as horked out by my Little White Choon-Box. What’s playing today?

- The Search - Pat Metheny Group
- We Want A Rock - They Might Be Giants
Nobody else writes songs quite like these guys: infectious tunes coupled with quirky lyrics. The Mistress of Sarcasm and I were fortunate enough to see them perform in Savannah back in May, 2006.
Where was I? I forgot
The point that I was making
I said if I was smart that I would
Save up for a piece of string
And a rock to wind the string around
Everybody wants a rock
To wind a piece of string around
Everybody wants a rock
To wind a piece of string around
Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn the playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock
To wind a piece of string around
Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn the playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock
To wind a piece of string around
If I were a carpenter I’d
Hammer on my piglet, I’d
Collect the seven dollars and I’d
Buy a big prosthetic forehead
And wear it on my real head
Everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads
Everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads
Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn the playhouse down
They want to stop the ones who want
Prosthetic foreheads on their heads
But everybody wants prosthetic
Foreheads on their real heads
Throw the crib door wide
Let the people crawl inside
Someone in this town
Is trying to burn the foreheads down
They want to stop the ones who want
A rock to wind a string around
But everybody wants a rock
To wind a piece of string around - Mineral Man - Leo Kottke
- Snuff That Girl - Urinetown, Original Cast
- Moggio - A Tribute Band for FZ

The lead-off cut on The Boss’s lead-off album. Everything I love about Springsteen’s early work is captured in this one five-minute, four-second tune. - Yaphet - Miles Davis
I knew Miles before he was a block. - Monkey Lust - Leo Kottke
- Too Long at the Fair - Bonnie Raitt
- Tupelo Honey - Van Morrison
