Gonna do this today, because I’m taking tomorrow off, to stretch the long weekend a bit, and so my lovely wife and I can celebrate Discount Candy Day tomorrow for lunch. Valentine’s day is troublesome, because dance class; Friday evening is also booked because of the (totally non creepy) elementary school Father-Daughter dance the youngest I and I are doing.

The week’s been full of meetings I can’t miss, and struggling through some sort of sinus bug; seriously, Tuesday and Wednesday, I went to bed at like 5pm. Feeling slightly better today, but I think I’m still going to take it easy through the weekend.

This doesn’t mean that I don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day, because I totally do. My friend Chris from Hampton Roads is in town for work for a couple of days, and we’re getting together for BBQ tonight. Yeah.

Otherwise, I’m 10/14 on #FAWM, with 14 days to go. Some of those ten still need to be chorded out/demo’d, but with my sick this week, and working to get solidly off-book on enough tunes to not look like an idiot for next week’s Castleburg Open Mic hosting gig, I haven’t gotten around to it. Might start #11 today; I’ve got a bit of a melody rattling around in the brainpan.

Anyway – tunes. Starts out killer, then it’s kind of a decent mix of the usual suspects, with unusual selections. Works for me.

2. “Mr. Brightside” – The Killers
3. “Girl Talk” – The Donnas
4. “Human” – Rag’n’Bone Man
5. “Is This Love” – Whitesnake
6. “Fartosen Kom” – Svartsot
7. “Ship Ahoy (live guitar solo)” – Frank Zappa
8. “Jessie’s Girl” – Rick Springfield
9. “Take Me Home” – Phil Collins
10. “John Barleycorn (Live 1992)” – Jethro Tull
11. “Walk Like an Egyptian” – Bangles
12. “2 Minutes to Midnight (live)” – Iron Maiden
