Miss You Fever + Quotes!

Want to hear a great Texas blues song? It's "Miss You Fever" by Delbert McClinton - it'll play on imeem.com.
Listen!
Mmm, such a great song.

Also, two great work quotes today:

S: I think the internet comes in through the plumbing. I'm serious. Someone flushes, and everyone goes offline.
-----
S: Have you guys seen the videos yet?
M: Nope. We're like... we're the mushroom group - always in the dark.
S: Well, I guess that explains the moss.

T-Bird and the Breaks

Last night, Jess and I went to see T-Bird and the Breaks at Scholz Garden. Mmm, beer garden. Mmm, Blue Moon pint with a slice of orange. Given the band's blues/soul feel, it was the perfect opportunity to get some dancing in. And oh yes - yes it was. Blues + dancing = bubbling over with happiness!

You can (and should!) check them out on their MySpace page:

I'm a big fan of "Blackberry Brandy" and "Sunday on My Own" - and I also like their brass section's hats ^.^

Jess and I are still in our moving limbo. I am hoping to get everything cleared out of my old apartment by this weekend. I really should do it tonight, but they're teaching the Hustle in the side room at the Fed tonight... so I'm weighing my sense of responsibility with my desire to learn a new dance.

Mmm, Bluesy Music.

So here's a song recommendation:

"Magnolia" by The Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies. It's a nice blues-rock tune with some sexy harmonica tossed in for good measure. I used to hear it on a local radio station when I was in high school - but that radio station was eaten by Clear Channel and - as you might expect - the content and playlists changed greatly.

I managed to snag it on iTunes, but I also wanted to share... so I found this:

You can play the song on Rhapsody for free! Go listen. It's awesome. Mmm. Harmonica.
