Counting Crows "1492"

So a dream has been fulfilled . . .

While I did hit my 1,000th post a couple of months ago which was a big goal of mine, the other goal I had was to make sure I posted 365 days in a row.

Last year, on Columbus Day, I was out of town and out of computer range, and a post that I had automatically set up to go, didn't launch.  But I haven't missed a day since.

So yeah!  365 posts in a row!

Now on to the original (and slight) copy . . . .

-------------------------------------

Well . . . there just aren't that many songs about Columbus Day are there?

So here's a song that's, well, it's not really about Columbus. But it's got his name in it, right?!?


See the video on Youtube.

Guster "Carol Of The Meows"

For the month of December, my Weekend Posts (usually a look back at obscure tunes from the 80s and 90s) will turn to Christmas. Enjoy a few odd, off-color songs to enliven your holiday!

Well, this is just brilliantly evil. Listen once, and then try getting it out of your head.

Thanks, Guster.


Hear the song on Youtube.

The Muffs "Oh Nina"

Since it's Columbus Day, it's still technically a day for a Weekend Post:

Loved this band. Thought they should've broken through in the 90s, when people (okay, not people exactly, but marketers) were calling them The Female-Fronted Green Day.

Pulled this one out today for the holiday, since I couldn't find a Pinta or Santa Maria song.
