Music Draft - Rolling Stone Greatest 500 Songs Garbage List - Now with unhealthy regional pork-stuffs! (1 Viewer)

Soup: Maryland Crab. None of that shredded or hushpuppy crap some of you philistines call crab meat, either. 

Song: Someone asked what genre wasn't represented well. I'll go with doo ***. My pick isn't all that representative of the genre as a whole, but it's a really strange record. "The Wind" - Nolan Strong & The Diablos I'd be shocked if some indie or punk band didn't cover this.

 
I'm back a smidge earlier than I thought I'd be. My brother & I went in on a hog being sold at his county's fair. It was ready yesterday, after processing. So - I know this will shock some of you that know me - I left at 3 a.m. this morning and went over to Annapolis to get my half. Uruk-bro already it separated when I got to his place at 5:30 this morning (he's an idiot like me), so loaded up the cooler and was back on the DC Beltway at 6 a.m. We paid $3/lb on the hoof. Probably worked out to $7/lb processed.

Also, since this is all about me, I have lost about 40 lbs since June 1st. It's not so much because I tried real hard, but I cut out processed sugars (for the most part). When I saw my doctor in late June, she said "I told you to lose weight, but I didn't mean 19 lbs in 3 weeks. That's too fast".  She'd probably kill me now and I'm a little scared dropping that much that quickly, given how much I've wrecked my body the last 40+ years.  I think cutting out that damned Sambuca - two snifters a night - is the only real difference I've made, besides not drinking fruit juice anymore. For point-of-reference to those here who have met me - I was probably 220 lbs in the late aughts/early teens. I'm 20 lbs less now and have gained that turkey gullet under my chin.

Author's Note: Nothing above is a euphemism.

 
9.24 - D'Angelo - "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" (#379)

I will admit, I didn't really "get" D'Angelo until I saw him live a few years ago.  He's got a strangely undeserved reputation of just being known as the guy with the music video where he's just standing there with his shirt off (which is this song).

His show is probably a top 5 show of my life.  It's a non-stop slowjam/funk dance fest.  Absolutely incredible performer.  I went back and revisited the old stuff, and now after the fact, I completely understand.  This dude is unbelievable.


Of the guys once labelled "the next Prince," he was probably the most deserving.

That's a lot of weight loss within 4 months. Great job!  My BILs bff lost a lot of weight some years ago by cutting out soda. 

 
You all went down an interesting rabbit hole last night. I’m switching things up from the list I left yesterday and going with this ...

10.04 KISS - Rock and Roll All Nite (#404)

Definitely not my favourite KISS tune but have belted this one out a few times and always gets the crowd pumped up.

 
I'm going to head out for a couple of hours.  I have Raging weasel's picks and will check in with them as necessary.  

I leave it to @Ramsay Hunt Experienceto determine if we should skip fatguy.  I figured the weekend would move more slowly and am OK either way.

Someone please hold down the fort while I'm gone.  :)
