Why the Long Face Old Man Winter?

This is what I'm listening to in the car on the way to the toy store.

And you can listen too! To you and yours. Love, Ike.

Summer's Gone By And Still...

This is a Tracy Chapman song sung by Chris Edeley who is called Safe.

ridin that improvsicle highway

life is a highway, that much we know. a steamy, asphalt highway. sometimes a waterway. some friends make music, some fam does, all friends on the internet are sweating because it's too durn hazy and humid outside. so put a couple of slushes in your shoes, some snoballs on your shoulders and some frozen custard on your head and listen to these whilst you thumb through your guide to seamanship and refreshing glory.

Friends in the Water

I've been testing this summer mix for a while and its water proof. Also works on land... Isn't a human being just a two stroke engine anyway? Here are some songs for your dry to watery adventures.

Hoo hoo hoo, hee hee hee

I am excited about the Electric Tickle Machine, my friend Tom's band.

Here are the mpfrees I could get off the internet:

1. Part of me


2. Gimme Money


3. Honest Injun


On another note, I am not happy about summertime open windows in the alley behind my house which force me to listen to anonymous abusive domestic spats. :( Fuck, man.

Try to have a happy Fourth, all.

Be well,
Jen

Animal Beach Party! Littorally.

Facing both an oil spill and Oprah's narrating on Discovery Channel (anyone?), life on the Gulf has been moving shoreward--to throw a party? Just in case, here's some active sonar to blast down, from the uninvited:

Drop

MC Shakie's Drop Real Low

Lots of Small Fires

In the car or on a bike, after playing with fireworks, I might listen to songs like these to chill out in the summer time.

BOBBY JEAN

This song almost always makes me want to cry.

2010: A Whiskey Sour Starter

2010 is going to be the hottest summer on record. You're going to want a box of Snickers ice cream bars and a mixed bev. Before I ride my razor scooter down to the pool I like to have 3 fingers of Rye (may I recommend Old Overholt) cut with Lemonade.

1) Rye Rye: Rocks Off Shake Off and Gucci Mane: Lemonade
