@atskooc was right, finding a good song for Wednesday is a bitch...but I found this one and also learned that Elvis Costello is playing in Omaha tonight so I figured this one will do:

 

 

I believe he’s playing with Nick Lowe & his supporting band the remarkable Los Straight Jackets.

The first word in this song fits so I will go with it.  Besides, it is off maybe the best album in the history of music. I almost went with the Adams Family theme for this goth pioneer:

Dang it!  I was saving this one for Thursday.  Now I'm going to have to start thinking about Thursday songs.

I know, but they do mention Thursday a number of times.

I always liked Harry Nilsson. Some great tunes.  Just discovered this song.  Not bad!

You got to be kidding me!  I didn't think anyone would post this one.  We must have the same taste in music. Or we are both just old!

Probably BOTH, I just saw Tommy at the Turf Club in St Paul, early April. It was ON a Friday night so he closed with this one of course.

I still kick myself for not going to see the Replacements when I had the chance.

I guess I will go with the punk version of this one.

I saw them at the Student Union in 1985 with Bob. Their Mom Anita would later become my neighborhood bartender at the Uptown in Mpls.

I saw the replacements at the Drum Stick in Lincoln around 1985 or 86 when Bob Stinson was still in the band as well. Saw them again at the Peony Park Ballroom a few years later with Slim on guitar.

I talked to Paul Westerberg and shook his hand at the Peony Park show. Great band!
