Donita and Fini!

Happy Fourth of July! And thanks for the photo, my goodness what a collection of talent.

Thats a legendary photograph, one of the only times they were all together at Sun at the same time. A hell of a playlist too today D!

Oh, heyt hi howdy firepups! Who’s got the grill for my burgers? Burn ‘em for me!

Duane Eddy is a genius, and paired with Chet Atkins I am in hillbilly heaven!

Greetings firepups! I may do some grilling today myself.

Happy 4th of July to all Americans! :)

Hey fini! Hey Donita (if you’re out here and even if you’re not)!

Happy fourth.

Doing my grilling indoors today as we got some storms coming through beautiful downtown San Antone

Thank you Canadian Young Jess. Happy Friday to you.

Mmmmm. Grilled anything is good, what you cookin? I love grilled fish of any kind. Especially salmon steaks. Loves me some salmon steaks with butter and lemon.

Thanks for the great list, Donita. I grilled at lunch time. Already into the leftover dogs for dinner. Ice cream cake is thawing just a bit before slicing. Who wants a piece?

Wanda Jackson always sounds like a 33 played at 45 to me. Or like she’s swallowed some helium…

Love a piece, thanks!

God bless your Canadian heart YJ! Happy Friday in July! We gonna shoot off some fireworks to annoy the crap out of y’all today so please, don’t mind us. We just like to remind people every year we had some white guys throw a tantrum a long time ago and it worked out pretty cool for the world.

Its a little more like the helium than anything.

Oh damn, this is a great version of On The Bayou! Hell yeah! Yeehaw!

Yeah, my ears hear it as fast but then I realize the actual instrumentation is at a normal speed so then the helium sounds kick in.

Kind of funny, check out Google’s top 100 searches for today:
http://www.google.com/trends/h.....&sa=X
“Jesse Helms, deviled eggs, mojito recipes, fireworks, Cindy Brady, Kim Novak, Tippi Hedren, hot dog eating contest”…..

I’ll tell you exactly what it is, its her microphone. Those old school mics back then were very unbalanced and boosted higher frequencies in over the lower end because AM radio doesnt transmit lower frequencies so well. All the mics back then were engineered for that standard.

Gee, now I wonder why Cindy Brady, Kim Novak, and Tippi Hedren would be on the top 100 list today?

(not really as I know why they’re all on there)

Ha, “hot dog eating contest”

and that makes some kinda sense. Thanks for the techno info.

Hi Donita…

Zambeli from Brazil (the photographer) talking here…

I saw live two shows last mounth (NICK CAVE in Berlin, Germany, and ECHO & THE BUNNYMEN in São Paulo, Brazil) and i had a answer: when the time gones by, the greats turn up more greats… Like your sound too, with THE STELLAR MOMENTS.

When do you come to Brazil again? I told to Ian McCulloch how rock and roll you are now…

Kisses with lemon colours, like Brazilian telephone cabins…

I think Brenda Lee’s voice on that one is outstanding. All of the hiccup hesitations in her delivery.

Ok, I get deviled eggs, mojito recipes, fireworks and hot dog eating contest, but I have the following questions:

1. Did Jess Helms die or something hopefully?
2. Cindy Brady and Kim Novak, did they do a lesbian porno or something together?
3. What the hell is Tippi Hedren doing in that list? And why do I know that name/why should I care?

Great ol songs. I had trouble figuring out what to play at our fourth party- (about to start) and decided on Sousa…It’s all ready ta march.

I know, what gives?

Donita, thanks for the great tunes!

Here is a Mother Jones Mark Fiore cartoon in honor of the 4th called “Journey to East George Bushistan”

http://www.motherjones.com/com.....istan.html

It is part of my please email/call senators over FISA network email. :)

Helms gives it up on the fourth of July…He must have been pleased- made it by THAT much (died just after 1 am).

Yep, I reckon it’s getting a bit warm for Jessie about now.
I saw somewhere that Cindy Brady did a radio show with a hangover and to pause to worship the porcelain goddess. Can’t help on the rest.

Oh hell I may be having a mojito myself with that news! Ding Dong the Dick Is Dead!

Oh dear lord thats classic! Rock on Cindy!

HoooO!

Happy fourth y’all.

The person who played Cindy Brady did a radio show earlier in the week where she was smashed and had to take a break to throw up. CNN and some other news outlets have been having “fun” with the story.

Turner Classic Movies has been doing Hitchcock movies all day including Vertigo (Kim Novak) and The Birds with Tippi Hedren,

I’m doin Margaritas- first time since I decided to lose a few (quite a few) pounds- but what the hell- it’s patriots day..

DON’T (fuckin even think to) TREAD ON ME!

Happy Independence Day! And to you guys at Ft Meade reading this too!

I lurves me some ROSIE…. one of my favorite memories is jaw-boning with the shoe-shine guy all night at ANTONE’S while listening to her WAIL.

See this is why I dont watch cable news unless absolutely freaking necessary. And the TCM Hitchcock festival makes sense now for the random Novak/Hedren spikes

GW Clusterfuck upon being heckled at Monticello said “We believe in free speech” as the protesters were being arrested.

So what does that mean?

He’s just a sociopathic liar- or he is incapable of seeing the truth even when it’s in front of his eyes- or both?

Any bartenders in the house who can tell me what do I need for a mojito?

On the one hand, GW is sayin that heckling him is protected free speech- and on the other- he sees the free speakers bein arrested- and he sees no fuckin conflict between the two….

This fucker is one sick puppy.

Actually Patriot’s Day is generally the third Monday in April.

The Boston Marathon is run that day and there’s a morning Red Sox game as well. It’s a state holiday for MA and Maine.

mojito recipe

OK- it’s a day for Patriots!

They arrested the protesters? WHat the hell is this country coming to? You can’t peaceably assemble and air grievances anymore? wtf?

I’m kinda whizzed at the major parties- may become a libertarian.

Lookin for a few acres in northern arizona where I can bury an arsenal and raise some vegetables

I love the Collins Kids, thanks Donita!

Is there someplace to contribute for bail/fines/court costs? I’d really like the lurkers at Ft. Meade to see that charge go through on my credit card.

I did that once, it turns out badly, they get the big picture stuff right but dont press them for details. It gets ugly in the details of any policy issue. Best to stick with fighting the Hydra of fascism from within than to hold a debate about how to fight the Hydra like Libertarians do.

Not sure if they’ve been doing anything on the air at CNN but I’ve seen the story on their web site and at a couple of newspapers’ sites. You could tell the tone pretty much by the headline used.

Well they’ve definately got the “get yer fuckin government and yer fuckin church outa my life” stuff right..Maybe they can be taught a few additional details…I no longer want to pay taxes to these assholes in Washinton- so they’re on the right side of that one too as far as I’m concerned- and they’re on the right side of gettin the govt out of the bedroom- and they’re ready to fight if they’re fucked with. Not a bad start.

Wow! I just got to the Elvis. What a great cut.

Elvis doin the real ol blues—nice!

Like I said they get a lot of the important stuff right, they just have no preparation or planning for governing, to them, its all about the bitchin’. Too many managers and not enough workers, so to speak.

Interesting- many of em ex military right?

Maybe there ARE no important details, Maybe (as Voltaire said) it’s just about tending yer fuckin garden.

I know, that one’s hot. That Elvis was a pistol.

Not so much, some of them are, most of the Libertarians Ive met are Republicans who smoke pot basically. Or gay or just some sort of freak/weirdo variety, which are my people and how I got hooked into them in the first place.

I’ve only heard that done by James Taylor. This is great.

Lots of the northern Arizona people are ex military- well sure some of em like McVeigh are a little radical- but maybe they have possibilities.

Speaking of tax protesters…

I’m starting to get those bizarro warnings again……did someone here say something nasty? Are we getting tanked again for sedition?

Refresh, and all will be well.

Well Ft. Meade has been mentioned a couple of times and someone else mentioned Tim McVeigh and Terry Nichols in the same thread. Yep, that ought to do it!

Thanks, so far, so good. Still……I know ‘they’ are watching us.

BTW for the record, McVeigh and Nichols were sick twisted bastards who should have found a better way to address their grievances. Blowing up innocents when your fight is with the government is no way to win over the population to your arguments. Idiots.

The Bush speech was to new citizens…I guess they were impressed to see their fellow citizens get the hook. Who does he think he is? Of yeah, the Pres. and we are your subjects. Dictators do not belong in this country.

Those who resort to violence rarely do so due to their superior intelligence. That explains why Bush and Cheney are such fans of violence, by the way.

So who else is grilling for the holiday? I wish I had a grill besides the George Foreman Ive got. Looks like i’ll be ordering pizza later or something.

Where is everybody at?

if not already posted, here’s a live link to the show donita (and I) have been listening to all afternoon…

Awewsome, thanks for the link!

Tonight there will be many explosions…many of which will be accompanied by a particular Tchaikovsky piece.

Does anyone else find it odd that we celebrate our independence by playing a Russian symphony about a French dictator?

.

My grill goes a bit overboard, but I love it.

Happy 4th, Yanks…Now, where’s my waitress?

;>)

OH SNAP! Hell yeah!

Happy 4th all. So I hear the protesters were arrested. Gotta fuckin love it when we have the right to peacefully protest, but get arrested anyway.

Happy Fourth of July!
WOOT!

Just woke up from a nice nap and am going to take a shower and party like no tomorrow!

Peace!

Even music is political. The symphony was not performed as written because of the untimely death of the czar. Then the Soviets would not permit the whole thing to be played because it included the czar’s hymn. Finally the piece was played in its entirety about 20 years ago with the cannons and the church bells and the czar’s hymn.

The music was about resisting tyranny. Maybe we should play it more often.

In northern Virginia they play it at Wolf Trap with real cannon. I could hear them crash from my home in Vienna.

I yam! Ribeyes, shrimp, summer squash on the barbie. Side of cucumber salad with sour cream and dill. And watermelon if there’s any room left.

I should be comatose shortly after.

well have a happy fourth Firepups, dont forget, light the bottle rocket, then get away quickly! See ya next week!

Not if you’re in California. It’s really dry and there are way too many out of control blazes already.

Brilliant as always, darkblack.

New Neiwert

Thank you, Fini and ES.

‘In Eternity, you go with the wait staff you have, not the wait staff you wish to have’

Heeee.

Good point.

“V For Vendetta”

(Not that I advocate blowing up the British Parliament, of course.)

OH YEAH?!?! Ok! (I’m nuts A little serious, now : I wish you a great “tralala” guys,
:-*
