A week. Yes it was.

The most exciting thing I did besides voting was buy tires. Otherwise it was conference calls, plugged up sinuses, a little cooking, a little music rehearsal, some push-ups, and just getting through it. Yep.

Tonight I’ll take a drive out to SBC for the fall dance concert, Saturday I’ll push through laundry and hit the farmer’s market, and if I get around to it, a group ride sponsored by my local bike shop. On Sunday, I’ve got a gig down in Cary NC, playing tunes with the Humdingers at The Beer & BBQ Ball, a charity event at Bond Brothers Beer Company. We got on at 5pm, though I expect I’ll be hanging out for a bit during the day, for it’s a brewery, and I can’t really visit one of those without trying a few of the local specialties. I’m looking forward to it, as I haven’t played with S&K in a couple of months, and I miss it (and them) terribly.

It’s also a long weekend; thank a Veteran.

And that’s really about it, other than to throw out a playlist, which is, for the most part, pretty common, with a whole lotta female-fronted pop-punk/riot grrl; thrice the Donnas, plus the Slits and that Betty Blowtorch tune. Also, in at #8, the tune that launched a thousand memes. Enjoy:

1. “Oh No” – Soy Christmas
2. “You Don’t Know How It Feels” – Tom Petty
3. “Take On Me (extended edition)” – A-Ha
4. “Out of My Hands” – The Donnas
5. “Minstrel in the Gallery” – Jethro Tull
6. “Nanook Rubs It” – Frank Zappa
7. “I Wanna Be Your Sucker” – Betty Blowtorch
8. “Africa” – Toto
9. “Too Bad About Your Girl” – The Donnas
10. “Heard it Through The Grapevine” – The Slits
11. “Renegades”- x Ambassadors
12. “Lord of the Blacksmiths” – Falconer
13. “Don’t Break Me Down” – The Donnas
14. “Rock and Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution” – AC/DC

Also, I shall never tire of the “hammer and anvil” percussion on #12. Never.
