Lowdown Monkey Blues
Let's quit monkeying around!
Gettin' our shit together, but just so all y'all know we haven't forgotten about ya (though you may have forgotten about us)!
Today, it's another in our world famous series of "Greatest Song Ever Written (at least for today)".
Nuthin' much to say about this one, other than it's Tom Waits and The Replacements, two of 'Merica's greatest treasures. From a bootleg of the the session that gave us "Date To Church", which we assume y'all have heard by now. Man, to have been a fly on the wall for this span of recording...
Tom Waits and Paul Westerberg tradin' verses?...heaven!

There's a bit of a kerfuffle at the end of the track...it's a bootleg, whaddya want? Support yr local whatever, man!

Boogaloo Santa

Happy birthday Tom Waits! There's a good possibility we'll have a little something by Tom in our re-post area.
After the bummer that was yesterday's Xmas post, we feel like gettin' our groove on with a little Holly Daze dance party. Boogaloo indeed.
So get your Winter Solstice groove on with the twistin', swingin', and/or funkin' sounds of J.D. McDonald, Huey "Piano" Smith, The Marcels, and The Robin Sisters.
As we said at the top, we're gonna celebrate Tom Waits' birthday with a special edition of our bonus re-posts. Tom gives us his own unique take on "Silent Night", joins up with the Blind Boys of Alabama for a stompin' take on "Go Tell It On the Mountain", and, of course, gives us the immortal down'n'outer "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis".
