Hump Day Picks With Justin - Birdmonster


Justin Tenuto - Birdmonster

Before you get all bent outta shape abt how HUMP DAY PICKS are only supposed to be with other bloggers - I suggest you check out Birdmonster's absolutely beer-larious BLOG. it's one of my daily read (or whenever one of the other boys get around to updating it).

Little known fact when I first started this HUMP DAY feature on my site back in October the very first person to HUMP with me was Birdmonster drummer extraordinaire Zach Winter [READ POST].

Well today I make it 2 for 4 as Justin - Bad Ass Birdmonster Bassist joins me in HUMP DAY PICKS. I only need to Hump with the final two (Dave/Peter I'm looking at you) to officially be a groupie.

ENJOY!

JUSTIN - BIRDMONSTER'S HUMP DAY PICKS

So, it's not really a hump day today, unless you had to work on Memorial Day, in which case you should probably fling shit at your boss's neck. But it is Wednesday and, if you're here reading this, you're probably at work anyway, fighting the good fight against Taylorism, conference calls, and scheduled cigarette breaks. In other words, we need to spread good cheer.

My humpday picks

1- The Way That Young Lovers Do (Van Morrison): Ah, yes. There was a time when I thought, when I could've swore, that Van Morrison was a black southen dude. Then I saw one of those daytime TV, three minute commercials for "Songs of the 60's" and say a disheveled white guy singing "Brown Eyed Girl." Anyway, that has nothing to do with this song; I just thought you might find it amusing. This is and will always be my favorite Van Morrison song from my favorite of his albums, which also happens to be in the top 5 greatest CDs ever made, somewhere below London Calling.

2- London Calling (Clash): Because it's better than the Bible. Or, at least, the DaVinci Code.

3- Shoes Without Holes in the Toes: No, no. They are not an emo band. I just stepped in a puddle in my only pair of new shoes and, amazingly, my socks remained dry. Also acceptable: galloshes.

4- Tap-Tap, Click-Click- Division Day [MP3] I wanted to put Lights Out on there, but you can't listen to it for free, so I went with this one. These guys are incredible on every level. I sleep with a picture of Ryan under my pillow.

5- Judge Joe Brown- When I was in my Unemployed,-don't-have-cable,-won't-take-off-my-robe-and-am-about-to-eat-a-third-peanut-butter-an-banana-sandwich phase, I watched a lot of Judge Joe Brown. It's fun to scream "You tell 'em Joe!" at your TV while your neighbors look at you and shake their heads in pity.


JAX - THE ROCK INSIDER'S HUMP DAY PICKS

1. Walter Meego - Weekday [MP3] What a perfect pick for a hump. This song makes me want to go to a mall and play Dance Dance Revolution.

2. Chinese Chicken Salad - I've had it for lunch the last three days in a row. It never gets old and it always tastes good.

3. Echo Park Lake - I'm on like this....what do you call it.... "FITNESS THING" anyway the past 5 mornings I have blissfully been running around Echo Park Lake and I've decided it's one of my favorite places on Earth. If I ever get capped by a stray bullet in a random drive by shooting on Montana, I want the would-be-no-gooders to hide my body in the lily pond. Siiiigh soo pretty...

4. Funny Song Names By Electro Pop Bands - They seem to be getting better and better

You Say Party We Say Die! - Apocalypse Meow [MP3]
Cansei De Ser Sexy - Let's Make Love And Listen To Death From Above [MP3]

5. Sound Team's "Your Eyes Are Liars" Video - you can watch it tomorrow over at GorillavsBear. Hooya!

No you broke it into a million pieces. Remnants of which I banged the hell out of when you played spaceland a few weeks back.
