Request Line: Dirt

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

It’s early morning, and the recording studio is silent.  DJ 3000 remains pushed up against the wall, still trapped inside a time loop of his own creation.  The studio door opens and the PRODUCER steps inside, whistling a cheerful tune.  He flicks on the studio lights and freezes when he realizes a space has been cleared in the center of the room and is now occupied by…

PRODUCER: Oh, man…

A series of muffled noises emerge from the tent, followed by a hand reaching out, pulling the flap closed, and zipping it shut.

PRODUCER: No need to hide, buddy.  I’m not mad.  You can come on out.

— [tent flap flies open] —

JIM TOMSULA: [emerging gingerly from the tent] I’m really sorry.  I mean to be out of here before you arrived.

PRODUCER: Hey, it’s all right.  I wish you’d called, though.

JIM TOMSULA: Couldn’t. I traded my phone for some glass beads and a two week-old jug of Tampico.

PRODUCER: Glass beads? I mean come on Jim-Tom you were never good at financial management but that’s irresponsible even for you.

JIM TOMSULA: Thought it was a good business opportunity.  Figured I could make a moonshine still out of ’em.

PRODUCER: Well, no judgment here.  We’ve all been there.

JIM TOMSULA: Let me just, uh, gather my things and I’ll get out of your hair.

PRODUCER: No rush, Jim-Tom.  I don’t want to be booting you out into the rain.  You can stick around until it dries up, at least.

JIM TOMSULA: Thanks.  I appreciate that.  All this rain has made for a pretty tough winter.

PRODUCER: Say…I just had an idea. Our scheduled guest for Request Line had to cancel – something about his sister being in some kind of jam. Maybe you could sit in? If you’re up for it.

JIM TOMSULA: Why now that sounds like a pretty good time.  What’s the theme?

PRODUCER: We don’t have one yet. Got any ideas?

JIM TOMSULA glances down at a set of muddy boots sitting outside the tent. The PRODUCER follows his gaze.

JIM TOMSULA: How about dirt?

PRODUCER: Dirt?

JIM TOMSULA: Yeah.  Dirt, mud, muck, that kind of stuff.

PRODUCER: Sure, let’s give it a shot.  Got something to start us off with?

JIM TOMSULA: As a matter of fact I do.  A lot of people don’t know this about dirt, but it can be a beautiful thing…

Today’s theme is: Dirt.  We’re looking for songs about dirt, dust, muck, mud, sludge, etc.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60n3_2_f4R” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  The answer to last week’s puzzle song was “The Southern Thing” by Drive-By Truckers but since “Three Great Alabama Icons” contains the same lyrics (and immediately precedes it on the album) it was considered successfully solved by SonOfSpam.  Have at it!

Hmm. Looked through his discography & a bit surprised James didn’t have a song about the dust, given his proclivities…

Smut: a small flake of soot or other dirt.

I always refer to that song as “Falling Down A Mountain”, and I am always wrong.

SonOfSpam

You’re parenthetically correct, the 2nd best kind of correct.

SonOfSpam

Never liked the song, but it plays here

Los Lobos is Spanish for “the lobos”

At least Frank’s not having a roadie blow it up his butt.

That’s exactly what Artemis is into. Cricket, too, if the price is right.

Is “filth” close enough? I will assume so.

A much better Claypool than Chase.

Thanks again for the quasi-first round pick, Bears!

Great tune by a once great band. Really fell off after everyone but the lead singer left.
