Work Hard Zutroy

...and each day you'll earn a shiny nickel.

Not Zutroy, the Zutons. I'm not sure if this band called it a day yet but I can't get this song out of my worthless head. Give 'em a try.

Did you have to go to jail
Put your house on up for sale
Did you get a good lawyer

I hope you didn't catch a tan
I hope you'll find the right man
Who'll fix it for ya

Kim and I were supposed to go on a date Friday. Alex was going to hang out with my folks but he ran a fever on Friday night. We all hung out together in DK. Poor kid, even the new Iron Man animated feature didn't perk him up.

He enjoyed it this morning and we spent most of the day hanging out as he recovered. Instead of shooting P I G in the basement, it became I R O N P I G.

We had to play it that way since we were pretending to be Iron Dad and Iron Lad.

Couldn't get Kim to go for the Iron Dad thing later, but after the boy went to bed we chilled out together and watched the movie about Robert Hanson, Breach.

Finally had a chance to check out the Jeff Beck North Seas Jazz Fest thing from last year. The song I found most enjoyable? Lopsy Lu. I don't know why. I'm sure there's better stuff from the show. This performance is straightforward and fun to listen to.

Some would say that is rare for jazz. Not me. I like jazz and whatever Lopsy Lu is.

Now finally (and this really should be the final finally - at least for tonight) apparently I am unable to live in the present. After the fun night of music with my friends the Magnificent Ambersons, I am reuniting with my old band from before the Ambersons and even before the floating Basement.

Dig our promo clip.

I'm the guy with the mask.
