Lazy, hazy... er, Macy Gray... no, no.

Just a second. The weekend in point form:

Friday: Katherine, Andrew, Andy and John... Snooty Fox... 3 dozen baskets of finger food, each one hotter than the preceding. Then John, Andy and I... Phoenix. Drunk pretty girl comes in... gets drink... sits alone drinking drink... gets up... leaves.

Saturday: Howard's... Howard, Linda, Michael, MK... Beer. Peat Whiskey. Spiced Rum. We Are Scientists. Walk home... fall backwards onto my elbows behind City Hall. Drink one more beer. Go to sleep watching the old The Fog.

Sunday: Smitty's... John and James. Breakfast Much choice. Much expense. OK food. Not great. Return? Probably no. EB Games... Outlaw Golf 2 for PS2.

Sunday afternoon: Outlaw Golf 2 for PS2:



Today's track:

Mike Doughty was the lead singer of Soul Coughing. A favourite of mine. Live shows of his started showing up on Archive... at first mostly acoustic versions of SC songs, but eventually new tracks by the man himself... solo and with a variety of new friends and players. Got signed to BMG/ATO... re-issued two previously self-released e.p.s Skittish and Rockity Roll, and eventually a proper full length called Haughty Melodic. Check out his blog, as linked in my sidebar... and the track below which is a bonus live track added onto the double e.p. release.

Some say he sounds like Dave Matthews. But that could just be playful cruelty.

here's a quote from an interview he did.

"The funny thing is, he's (dave matthews)perceived as super mainstream guy, and I'm perceived as super avant-garde guy, and yet friends of mine heard the album and couldn't tell the two of us apart," Doughty said.
