Yeah, I know, I know. It’s not Friday.
But I spent Friday well away from the Infernal Electronickal Computational Device, running around Georgetown and other parts of the District of Columbia with Elder Daughter and the Mistress of Sarcasm. We spent the evening at Washington, D.C’s first Slideluck Potshow, an event comprising a potluck dinner and slideshow featuring the work of various visual artists. After all that, who had time to monkey around on Teh Interwebz?
Today’s non-Friday Random Ten is drawn from the selection of choons on my iPhone, given the the iPod d’Elisson sits 650 miles away back home. But there’s still plenty of Good Stuff:Friday Saturday. What are you listening to?

Today’s non-Friday Random Ten is drawn from the selection of choons on my iPhone, given the the iPod d’Elisson sits 650 miles away back home. But there’s still plenty of Good Stuff:
- Free Bird Jam (live) - Ben Folds Five
- Act II, Scene 2: Flesh Rebels - John Adams, Nixon in China
- Mr. Freedom X - Miles Davis
From 1972’s hyper-funkadelic On the Corner album, AKA “the most hated album in jazz.” - Werewolves of London - Warren Zevon
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook’s
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein
Refrain:
Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London
Ah-ooooo
Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London
Ah-ooooo
If you hear him howling around your kitchen door
You better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
[Refrain]
He’s the hairy-handed gent who ran amok in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
You better stay away from him
He’ll rip your lungs out, Jim
Ha, I’d like to meet his tailor
[Refrain]
Well, I saw Lon Chaney walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw Lon Chaney Jr. walking with the Queen
Doing the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolf drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic’s
His hair was perfect
Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London
Ah-ooooo, werewolves of London - Merikäärme - Alamaailman Vasarat
- Inca Roads - Frank Zappa
- Lo Yo Yo Stuff - Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band
- Rat Race - The Specials
- Birdland - Weather Report
Covered by numerous artists, most people are familiar with Manhattan Transfer’s version of this piece... but Weather Report’s original is far superior. - Dead Man’s Dream - Procol Harum
