Gin, Podcasting, Oh Dear…

After last weekend’s heavily gin-related podcasting fiasco I am a little wary of entirely surrendering to the tender ministrations of my Juniperous Mistress this evening.  I don’t know if any of you listened to the bonus podcast I posted this week, but it is a scary example of car-crash TV er, podcastery at its most excruciating.

Either way, I am busting for a nice straight pint glass three-quarters full of ice, half a juiced lime bunged in and filled to within an inch of the top with Tanqueray.

Oh yes, and the tonic, sorry.

Anyhow, let’s get cheerful shall we people – it’s the ferkin weekend: time for festivities, frotting, fumbling and fornication. Go forth, get plastered, shag someone you really shouldn’t, make a total arse of yourself – you know you secretly want to! Dignity is overrated anyway, loosen up some and don’t be afraid to make a fool of yourself.  And how about some tunes to get in the mood…

A certain willenvelope left a message on my Thunderegg post earlier this week about further investigating The Mutton Birds.  Well, they’re not always this guitary, but it’s one of my favourite of their songs – from their first album, Nature. The Mutton Birds – The Heater
Levellers – Dog Train The Levellers are pretty enormously unfashionable these days, but this song is made for upbeaty happiness.
Morrissey – Certain People I Know No, not a moany one.
Cherry Poppin’ Daddies – Here Comes the Snake Remember what I said about shagging someone you shouldn’t?  Well this appears to be a song about it![audio http://www.matthewjamesyoung.com/sbt/CherryPoppinDaddies-HereComesTheSnake.mp3]
And just  to remind us all why we were all so looking forward to the new Interpol album, and at the same time, why it is such a disappointment: Interpol – NYC
