thanksgiving random elevenish – “probably going dark” edition
Currently in the process of tidying things up for my short holiday work week, which has been, if I’m being honest, kind of a waste of time. I’ve spent most of it tying up loose ends like required “Ethics Training” and sending messages to folks who are already off brining turkeys and celebrating European conquest of North America to set up meetings in early December to set priorities and whatnot before everyone bails for the last couple of weeks of the year like you do.
As for my next couple of days, I’m probably going to go dark for a little bit as I tend to do about this time, spending a couple of days off-line (other than making use of the streaming box) to decompress, cook a bit, watch some movies, catch up on a some reading, and just hang for a couple of days.
There’s also some other stuff in there; paying bills, stocking the larder, hauling a kid back to school, and doing a little bit of pick-up recording for Faithless for one of the other guest artists on the project.
But yeah, I’m going to do this stuff mostly unplugged from the crazy.
As I’ll be unplugged on the traditional day for this sort of thing, I’m posting my weekly random playlist early, which is a nice mix of stuff, actually. Not entirely sure about the handful of covers in there (#9 is ambitious, but nobody’s going to top the Georgia Satellites’ original), but #2 is a nice forgotten favorite, and it’s interestingly coincidental that we’ve got Gilby Clarke in there, who replaced Izzy in G’n’R, after Mr. Stradlin’s solo stuff popped up last week.
Anyway, rock on, I’ll see you on the other side:
- “Auctioneer (Another Engine) – R.E.M
- “Feed The Tree” – Belly
- “Alone Again” – Dokken
- “The Girls I Know Don’t Think So” – Chastity

- “Incinerate” – Sonic Youth
- “The Love Parade” – The Dream Academy
