You're welcome.

  1. I was told it was Boozy Friday over here.

    ...What? BLUEsy?

    Never mind.


    Although I am a big fan of Heartless Bastards, I see it as more of an alt/classic rock hybrid. Saw them from like 10 feet away from the stage when they played Turner Hall. Sang along to "The Mountain" like the freak I am.

    1. Yeah, I love the Heartless Bastards as well. They're definitely not a blues band, but that's still a blues song.

      And it's a bit early over here on the Left Coast for it to be Boozy Friday, especially since we're still recovering from "Thirsty Thursday." Although a little hair of the dog is starting to sound good...

    3. True, although in this particular part of the world Happy Hour starts in exactly 7 minutes. Not that I'm counting...

    1. You say that as if it weren't always "time for some Mekons" for you.
