Piss-bottle Man - Mike Watt feat. Evan Dando

There are some things
A guy gets from his pop
Some of them things get spaced
Others never forgot
I got such a tradition
I keep in my truck cab

Ooh, ooh, ooh piss-bottle man

Miles and miles and all the while
I feel secure
Even if the fuse gets short
I know I can keep my nerve
I believe in such a tradition
I got it in my truck cab
Ooh, ooh, ooh piss-bottle man

Driving in his shoes
Using the bottle he used
Every time I pop I think
Of my pop and pay my dues
I respect such a tradition
A shrine in my truck cab

Ooh, ooh, ooh piss-bottle man

I couldn't swear to every detail but it's certainly true that it's a story.

He was sorta funny lookin', though. And when he got out of the truck to check the tires, he wasn't wearing shoes, which was strange. So l said to him, "You know your socks don't match? You have one black sock and one yellow sock." And he replied, "Yup I know. Funny thing is l got another pair just like it back home."

Was heading up 35 to the Cities last fall and came up behind an old pickup with Iowa plates. Guy was poking along 5 under the limit. I was just getting ready to pass him when all the sudden he veered hard off the road and into the ditch. I quickly pulled over to check on him. "Are you okay? What the heck happened," I asked. "No, I'm fine," he answered, "I was on my way up to the Fair, you know, and I was just thinkin' about whether to go to the Dairy Building or the 4-H building first. But then I looked down and noticed my turn signal was on."

That's what I see in the app store. Settings shortcut: Everything else > Sync for Lemmy shows v24.03.26-14:56 (122).

Suite for Ma Dukes by Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Live recording of a Dilla tribute concert with a 60 piece orchestra. Stakes Is High with Posdnuos and Talib Kweli is a standout. Album is on Bandcamp and the full concert video is on YouTube.

In the World: From Natchez to New York by Olu Dara. He's the father of Nas (who guests on the album) and an accomplished jazz musician in his own right, but this isn't a jazz album. Okra is in my top three songs about food.

Fela Soul by Amerigo Gazaway. A mashup of De La Soul and Fela Kuti. "Music is the weapon. Music is the future. Music is the weapon of the future."

There's quite a few worth watching besides what's already been mentioned.

  • Patriot
  • Bosch
  • Goliath
  • The Night Manager
  • Sneaky Pete
  • Reacher
  • Jack Ryan
  • Mr. & Mrs. Smith
  • Good Omens
  • The Man In The High Castle
  • The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

I bet we were at some of the same shows if you were doing First Ave/Fine Line/Turf Club/Uptown Bar in the '90s.

I'll take Replacements at 7th Street Entry in early 1986. Westerberg did If Only You Were Lonely solo acoustic as an encore while getting pelted with beer bottles from off stage.

Most memorable (in hindsight) would be Stevie Ray Vaughan at Alpine Valley the night before the helicopter crash.

My gf tried it. When I asked her how it was, she just said "mmm mmm mmm." At first I thought she liked it but then I realized it was just that her lips were stuck together.
