Wow. Man.
Oh, my head. It feels…not good.
Like many of you, I’m suffering from the effects of the overindulgence that results when two of the biggest drinking days of the year converge. And what better way to reflect upon that than by announcing ANOTHER day of drinking! That’s right, on Saturday March 26th, the Commentist Party will be getting together in Los Angeles for the first (potentially) annual Atwater March pub crawl. We’ll be meeting at 3 p.m. at the Tam O’Shanter and proceeding to visit the Griffin, the Roost, the Bigfoot Lodge, and finishing up at the Morrison. Wear red to show your support of the Party or to hide the bloodstains, whichever is appropriate. Further details and some additional dick jokes can be found HERE.
As for today’s Request Line…let’s give our ears (and pounding heads) a bit of a break and turn things down a notch. Post your favorite music of a soothing nature in the comments and I’ll weave it together into a playlist to accompany your upcoming Monday hangover.
Fuck it. One more for the California Commentist chapter, Warren Zevon.

It’s hard to get more soothing than Monk and Coltrane. This whole album is great.

One of my favorite Guy Clark songs, though there are quite a few.

One of my favorite bands, the Bottle Rockets.

LCD Soundsystem-When Someone Great Is Gone
The playing of this song is how a sexy/intelligent/sensitive/hurt woman conveyed to me that she would like to have sex with me for a short period of time before she went back to her boyfriend. I still think about her occasionally…

“Short time? Heh heh, I’ve been there, buddy.”

Also, that reminds me:

And one I can actually play. Mostly.

Why? The rabble demands taex!
My old boss told me he loved that song, and I told him this version was better:
Sometimes when I’m hungover, I just wanna hear an Australian band cover Boyz II Men.

Blur – To The End. This song makes me wanna quit boorish stuff forever. For about 4 minutes. .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DjHKqb365A
That song always makes me want to fuck Bo Derek.
You needed the song to want to do that?
I actually boned a girlfriend to this.
/she was mightily impressed
//this nugget was obviously pre-“I care about my lawn”
A long time favorite
I have a slightly unhealthy infatuation with this band.
Big fan of theirs too…I really love this cover:

Sundown by Gordon Lightfoot
The DFW Sparts Talk/Dick Joke Radio goons used this as return music this week and I had it in my head all evening. Good tune.
If You Could Read My Mind was damn good too.

May all your hopeful happy hours come true. I’ll wear this shirt at home in tribute.

Here’s a wonderful song that’s actually about a hangover. Also, Kris Kristofferson is a goddamn national treasure.

Didn’t even have to click to know which one that was.

Goddamnit, we need an East Coast pub crawl. I know there are a buncha of us foul mouthed, East Coast attitude having fuckers who are DFOers.
Let’s get organized! I nominate anyone but me to spearhead the gather of this most august body of mooks.
I second anyone but me.
You all could commute there on the Acela Express Quiet Car!
(Not sure if that is even used correctly)

To set up the inevitable Lebowski response:
We covered Operator in a depressing request line, but here’s another Jim Croce masterpiece:
I have a soft spot for this version of this song:
Last one (maybe)

That’s nice.
That whole album is awesome. Elbow’s performance of The Seldom Seen Kid at Abbey Road should be in your rotation.
Also classic
I hate this because my links never post…
