Radio Mecha - Music Box: Jazz I'm playing a little bit of jazz on the Radio Mecha. If nobody's listening, I might switch to something else--haven't decided yet. Please listen, if you're so inclined.

I'm inclined... or rather, reclined, sitting back and listening. I only regret missing "The Panther (Boogaloo)" which sounds rather silly in a good way.

Hungry now.

Cheers for songs about booze! (I'm drinking beer, so it goes well.)

On preview: Ha! Was just looking for a Cab Calloway reference on my computer.)

Here we go... Cab Calloway - Jitterbug.
"If you'd like to be a jitter bug,
First thing you must do is get a jug,
Put whiskey, wine and gin within,
And shake it all up and then begin."

Dangit, box, you're making me hungry for chicken and all I have are frozen nuggets (from Trader Joes, so they're kinda okay?)

posted by wendell 14 December | 22:49

This is looking like a really nice set. Too bad it's blocked here at work.
