Appreciate Appreciate

Happy Duran Duran Appreciation Day, kids. In celebration, here's their new single and my favorite classic.

Infrastructure bill passed with 69 votes. That’s what I cal bipartisan.

I’ve always been partial to Girls on Film. The band made a risqué version of the video back in the day that featured boobies. 10 y/o TR took note.

girls on film, rio, the reflex, union of the snake, wild boys all could stake a claim to the top spot for me depending on the day.

In happier news, I singlehandedly installed the crossbars from our old station wagon on our new station wagon and mounted the cargo box upon them. Feeling quite manly.

Pretty impressive to do all of that with one hand, even though we know how industrious you are with your good hand.

I'd add to rob's list with well-known (Hungry Like the Wolf, Planet Earth, A View to a Kill) and less so (The Chauffeur, Friends of Mine, New Religion, Careless Memories). First 3 albums are surprisingly listenable all the way through.

And TR is right about that Girls on Film video. It was a dandy.

rio is a good one. but not as good as me successfully installing a dishwasher . . . on top of a station wagon.

Attended a Duran Duran show at the Myrtle Beach House of Blues...summer of 2002 I believe. They were great and would love to see 'em again.

With a little luck, Rootsy goes to Maine today. Glacial waters ahead.
