Or Say To Us You Better Stop!

[OK, Jeffrey, I'll jump on... (Congrats on the anniversary, btw.)]

[Ten songs I'm digging right now. (None is new, they're just what's been going thru my head lately. Analyze or judge as you wish.)]

[1. Cowboy Style, Kylie Minogue
2. I Thought You Were My Boyfriend, Magnetic Fields
3. What To Do? Mary's Danish
4. Sylvie, Saint Etienne (Actually, the whole Good Humour album, which was, if anything was, the soundtrack to the old Downtown Apartment.]
5. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough, Michael Jackson
6. Stop! Erasure
7. Everyone's A Little Bit Racist, Avenue Q soundtrack
8. 52 Girls, the B-52's
9. Deceptacon, Le Tigre
10. Rules and Regulations, Fuzzbox]

[There's a little, prosaic story behind each, but you don't wanna hear them, now do you?]

[Jessica and the dog Auggie arrive tonight, and we're off to Seattle tomorrow for the long weekend. We'll probably do the drive in two days with a night in Ashland, Medford, or Grants Pass, Ore., en route. Obnoxiously, a certain someone is skipping town just as I arrive. Isn't it rich? Aren't we a pair? Luckily, Rafe and Antonio are willing to host a house guest, one who will do his best to be unobtrusive as they scramble to complete domestic projects before the rains come.]

[Bumbershoot looks to be taking over downtown. We'll see what we'll see.]
