Scrabbled Comps #10: Let's drink until our hearts stop!
So I fergot to start week #10! And now it’s Tuesday night and I’m a beer and two glasses of bourbon in with hours of work to do before I go to bed and I want to hear songs about drinking and booze and things involving alcohol and/or the consumption thereof. So comment with your favorite song on the subject! And if you’re super awesome, upload it, too!
My pick? I can’t decide. It’s either, Jimmy and Johnny’s “Can’t Find the Doorknob,” a song the loverly Mandy Campface showed me and I’ve been obsessed with since or Laurel Aitken’s “Hey Bartender”. Kind of hoping someone will pick one or the other and make my decision for me.

Alcohol- The Kinks
and I am not super awesome enough to upload it.
Wow, not to use murder by death two weeks in a row, but
most of their songs are about drinking. I’ll post on tomorrow.

Don’t worry about it. Too few people have been suggesting for anyone to give a shit about actually uploading. If I have it, I’ll try to upload it at some point. If I don’t have it, well… at least we can all nod and go “yes, yes, that would sound nice on the comp.”
Seems I don’t have that Kinks track. What album is it on?
Oh, there’s about four thousand Minus the Bear songs about drunk drunk drinkin drunk. Today at work I heard Wilco’s “Passenger Side” for the first time in a long time. Then there’s “Just Dance” lolololololol for Kev. Hm hm. Tomorrow I shall choose, but it may not be a doozy. Speaking of this, too, my mom sent me one of the pictures from after the wedding and oh my god I am so drunk in it. It all happened so fast. (LOLiest possible contribution from anyone will be “Tubthumper”)
Flogging Molly – Drunken Lullabies
I thought about putting Blood for Blood’s “All Fucked Up”, or perhaps the reprise, “Still Fucked Up”, and then using them every time, but I really like this song. Also, constant Blood for Blood would require a lot of very depressing comp themes.

I dunno, Margaritaville would be pretty LOL-y. My pick is “I Only Drink Bud” by The Queers, even though it goes against everything I stand for.
css- alcohol
tom waits- the piano has been drinking
butthole surfers- Dust Devil, Alcohol
Steve, can you narrow that down to one?
Yeah Tom Waits.
Magnetic Fields “Too Drunk to Dream”

GOOD CHOICE.
My immediate instinct was to go with “My Dad’s A Fucking Alcoholic” by Frantics. But that was mostly because it’s such a great song title. But the song itself is not so great. So I’m going to go with “Six Pack” by Black Flag.
Jason Webley – Drinking
I like this guy because he sounds like a pirate with an accordion.
I have always been partial to “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” from Thorogood.
well, let’s go with the ol’ “whiskey in the jar” but let’s do it by belle & sebastian cos i LOVE that version.
I am going to be going with ‘Beer & Sex & Chips n’ Gravy’ by The Macc Lads.
It will be up before weekend is out.
Don’t know if many of you listen to these at all but this is a NSFW tune.
I’m still working on mine. I’ll submit tonight.
LIAR.
Hahahahaha, I picked out a song and everything. But I just recently changed over to Chrome (which doesn’t have a built-in FTP client). The thought of having to download something else, install it, and then upload the song was too much for me. I wanted to ride my bike instead.
It was “Drink!” by TMBG. Maybe Sammy would be so kind.

Just log into the FTP backend and hit “upload.” It’s the same password as our FTP.
Also, Cyberduck is a pretty great little FTP app. Let’s you set up bookmarks for most used sites and builds into quicksilver, too.
I see.
