Bitch Went Nutz

by Ben Folds

This is a sad story of a young Republican lawyer who's aspiring to become a partner at the firm. He has invited an attractive young lady he met briefly at Starbucks to the Christmas office party. Things do not go well when his colleagues, upstanding members of the community, country club and church introduce his date to cocaine. She soon expresses her personal political views which are not held by others attending. She is encircled by angry middle-aged white men and their wives whose disapproval is evident even through the Botox (ask for it by name).

Horrified, the young republican and his buddies try to silence his date but its too late once she's made clear her Communist views, thrown up on an expensive Persian rug and run a key down the length of a new BMW in the driveway.

A cable news channel executive is in attendance and hires them all on as talking heads on his Sunday morning show.

This may be listened to wearing a backwards red baseball cap and a button down pin stripe shirt (tucked in) or even a t-shirt with a tuxedo pattern. Keg stand optional.

I'm headed to Kenya tomorrow to climb Kilimanjaro and will be out of internet range for a couple of weeks. My friends will be holding it down for me here at the LNMC. I figured I would leave y'all with one that has been blowing my mind lately. Here's the isolated vocal track from 'Gimme Shelter', featuring Merry Clayton on vocals. Every time I listen to it I get shivers down my spine. See y'all in a few...

Rose Garden (Single Version)

This 1970 single was written by Joe South, and won Lynne Anderson a Grammy for Best Female Country Performance. How about that dress?

I'm headed to Asheville for a few days to eat and run through the woods. My buddy Andy K. is going to take over the LNMC for a few days. Y'all have a good rest of the week!

Skylarking
	Artist: Xtc

My brother sent me an email yesterday telling me that LNMC needed some XTC. He was right. This track is off 1986's Skylarking, which was produced by Todd Rundgren and ranked as the 48th best album of the eighties according to Rolling Stone magazine.

Weapon of Choice from Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars

Most of the time here at the Music Club, we focus on the music or genre of music. But I am of the original MTV generation and it's impossible for me to separate the visuals from the music, even if the music channels don't play videos any more.

One of my favorite videos of all time is this one from Fatboy Slim for no other reason than the wonderful and random dancing appearance of Christopher Walken. Though Walken got his show business start on Broadway, he's not the first guy you think of if you're trying to think of a dancer for a video, is he? So your challenge tonight is to post a link to your favorite video featuring a celebrity. Are you more of a Tawny Kitaen rolling over the hood of a Jaguar kind of guy or a Jake Gyllenhall playing tennis for no apparent reason kind of gal?

I don't know about you, but with half the world on vacation, it just feels like a Saturday night. If you're in a snuggling mood, you can never ever go wrong with Julie London.

What are you listening to? We love sharing here at the Music Club...

I got a little grief last night that my pick for the LNMC wasn't really a love song and it was after all, Valentine's Day. One would think I'm not a romantic...sheesh.

So I beg your indulgence for a song that I picked for my wedding, even if it's a day late, because my hubby knows he's my Valentine every day of the year. Come rain or come shine.

But it also got me thinking. My little brother is getting married in a couple of months and all his very opinionated siblings have voiced their preferences for the song the new couple will dance to for the first time. (I like "Lucky" by Jason Mraz) What song would you/did you pick for your first dance at your wedding?

Saturday! What do you think about self described "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" Lana Del Rey?

Tonight we go way back to the era of Gatsby and the Victrola. Do you have a favorite old-timey song?

PS. And our sister site Newstalgia has for its Mid-Week Concert, Pierre Boulez And Orchestre de Paris In Music Of Schoenberg And Bartok - Recorded Live.
