Well, we shuffled these up on Wednesday afternoon while on the way to and from therapy, so how the hell is it Friday already? (Also, our therapist hasn't yet listened to

SlipJig - Atholl Highlanders/A Hundred Pipers/Smash The Windows
We start off with a Swell Season track that made our 2009 Faves compilation mainly because it was under two minutes and it fit under the 80-minute CDR limit, but we really did like it. The Waterboys' track is the centerpiece of their "Room to Roam" album that was the follow-up to their huge "Fisherman's Blues" record. The Red Clay Ramblers piece is pianist Mike Craver turning in a delightful baroque tune about Byron, Shelley, and Goethe out on the town that brings to mind Tom Lehrer and Randy Newman. ("I'll pay the waiter, you'll leave the tip / Goethe, for certain, will hide in the curtain and think up a jolly good quip.") Mavis sings about her father, a minute-and-a-half of ELO, then three of the greatest voices ever, Elvis, Brother Ray, and Reverend Al. Roger and Pete vouch for the kids, and we close with a very cool David Bowie bonus track from the "Nothing Has Changed" compilation. The bonus track is from a friend's fiddle/guitar duo.
We now return you to This Week's Discussion Question ("So who IS the Top Dog at DOGE?"), already in progress.
Discuss.
