Except I would have said something very enticing and exciting about the link. How it leads to a magical, mystical place that only the truly enlightened can appreciate. Where lions and lambs lay down with each other while dragons spit fire on sword swallowers who are yet unconsumed by the blaze. Much like Moses' bush.
Error 404, we called it. Where the rhythms of the internets beat and bleat and bleed understanding, wisdom, satire and excess until technology is replaced by spiritual phantasmagoria.
Of course you know I love Dylan. We should honor the fact that Althouse did too! But if the Beatles or Stones were made house bad, I'd be okay. As long as you still throw up a Dylan post 2 or 3 times a month.
From a later period I'd be good with Garbage being the house band. I haven't had enough of them yet.
Early country or country blues would also make a nice musical theme for the site. A little Hank Williams, a little Robert Johnson.

As far as deborah's precious poll is concerned [sticks tongue out at deborah - angry whispered voice - Jesus, girl, that was ART]:
I wanted to choose Hendrix, because he had more depth than all the rest, but I went with Queen because none of the others had gays in it, so what the fuck.
I remember when I first heard The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan on my brother's car stereo. The WWIII Blues song where he goes on about listening to an operator telling him the time was the most creative thing I'd ever heard, and finally connected with the part of the sixties before The Beatles changed everything.
Also, Hendrix is incredible, but left such a short compilation. Not that he didn't pack an incredibly concentrated display of talent into the body of recorded work that remained.
Honest, we'd have to showcase a lot of live videos where he does his thing. NTTAWWT, but even I can only listen to guitar heroes over and over again for so many times.
P-M-J agrees with me. That's 2 votes for Garbage. I think that deserves a week of Garbage posts. Three or four anyway. I'd start right away with Only Happy When It Rains. Do one from each album maybe.
If classic rock is your bag, Deb, I'd love to give you a link to a Mountain Stage broadcast where some folk band does "The Song Remains the Same". It's on that Communist Central channel, or as you conservatives call it, NPR.
I think you'd like it. It's pretty good genre-mixing.
I'd audition you as Lem's music director for a week, Crack. But anyone who doesn't so show some good dj chops is out, fast.
Shit, now I gotta know what you think [snicker] "good dj chops" are. [Yes, a 52 year old man just pulled a hoodie over his head and opened one of the largest collection of records, tapes, digital recordings, samples, and other ephemeral data the world has ever seen, and thought:
"Tough crowd. Dylan fans, sure, but how far out will they walk with me? Better start 'em slow. Distract 'em from the "dj chops" bullshit and get they heads nodding"]
phx, home boy [false smile] you did say you like Dylan, right?
Okay, why would you think Earth would look bigger?
Saturn is much bigger than Earth, yet you need a good sky to see it. It's a dot. Now reverse positions and look at Earth from Saturn and Earth's dot will be even smaller.
I'm glad you are around. Very candidly and respectfully, you -- and several others -- strike me as kind of crazy. But I like you and enjoy your comments.
Too bad Palladian wasn't here tonight. This is his kind of thread.
I was hopin' he'd stop by. I just stumbled on it myself. deborah had some cool art shit in the window, I came in, and it's just kinda becoming a party.
I've missed out on most of the comments the last few days. What's this talk of Palladian and M? WTF? (I'm trying to catch up but have no hope even if I skip sleeping tonight.)
Never mind telling me what went on with Palladian and Dickweed. I've found it, and WOW. I feel like Pogo when he says he doesn't understand people at all.
No Punk Polka? Add the Toons to the rotation, please. And on those rare occasions when Cedarford shows up, some klezmer music would be a perfect background.
phx and PMJ, will you each post here a representative song that you really like from Garbage. I've only vaguely heard of them.
There are very few songs I don't like from Garbage. There very hard-driven, pop rock with a strong side of electronica. Shirley Manson does all their vocals, and their songs are pretty much fueled by an adolescent angst and revenge themes that fit her well. It's really teen music but man oh man they got a drive!
There's this crap classic rock station in norther Pennsylvania somewhere off I-80, maybe out of Du Bois, that calls itself MegaRock. They've got the lamest call-sign tag you've ever heard in your life: "This is MEGA...rock". Said without the slightest rhythm, and dropped dead at the end of the phrase like Shatner having an aneurism. But there's absolutely nothing else to listen to for forty-fifty miles on the Interstate except that damned station.
I'm white can I say hizzle?
Yes, but know full well we're all judging you for saying so.
Garbage and eggs to start off hump day, not too shabby. You're not a complete and total disaster, even from a libtard's pov. I don't care what Methadras says about you.
Personally I would like to hear faithful covers of the great American songbook by Bennet, Sinatra, Ella, Nancy Wilson and Anita O'Day.
Diane Krall and Cassandra Wilson would also figure into the mix.
Troop! You made it! Hey, I don't play "faithful" covers of anything until the after party (when it's just friends around the piano - alright, I'm not crazy about faithful covers much, even then). The day's just getting started! What are you playing in the store today?
You could probably get away with meeting your desires half way, keeping your foot tapping so you're not bored if it gets slow, by introducing new sounds, mix it up a little, let the ladies that come in feel stylish shopping there,...

Aww, dude, we're just getting started - I thought deborah would be up to help me make sandwiches for lunchtime, but she must still be crashed out. Troop's gone to work.
Wanna give me a hand? I don't know if anybody else is even going to show up at this point,...

Lynx bad.
You change that and, I swear, you'll destroy what little happiness I get out of life,...
Really - it can't get any more unscientific than that,...
LOL....Crack!
deborah, you're a genius, and in case you haven't heard:
I like that in a woman!
I feel like John Lennon, climbing that ladder at Yoko's opening,..
Crack beat me to it.

Or something like that.
Ok, maybe that was a little excessive.
lol
Looking at the Earth from Saturn.
That's what this is,...
WAS!
Women,...
I could only vote ONCE! This is an outrage.
That's effing cool.
The smaller dot next to it couldn't have been the moon, eh? Venus or Mercury?
Actually, I'm thinking it probably had to be the moon.
Cool how you could even make out some distant shades of sunlight from that far.
Far out.
Yep - there are the captions. Luna.
You California freaks are so damn sciency. I can't believe I'm not living out there yet.
Five years from now is my limit. When my looks will still be good enough for the land where looks rule.

The Animals for house band.
Yeah, a little over the top, Balls :)
Very cool link, Crack. The moon seems further from earth than I would have thought. Here's a short but sweet one:

I meet women from California even here on the Least Coast and after a few minutes of conversation they hug you.
Which, to my big city ways is just a little more tolerable and twenty times more enjoyable then when they hug you upon being introduced.
Compromise, people!
Yes, I adore Dylan too, so we must put up posts of him, too.
When my kids and I travel we listen mainly to Dylan, Stones, and Beatles.
Baby said she's travellin' on the one after 404!
Cowbell. The blog needs more cowbell.
Sorry, Crack, I did not catch your meaning or I would have listened :)
Rhythm and Balls,
That's effing cool.
Sure is. Keeps things in perspective.
As far as deborah's precious poll is concerned [sticks tongue out at deborah - angry whispered voice - Jesus, girl, that was ART]:
I wanted to choose Hendrix, because he had more depth than all the rest, but I went with Queen because none of the others had gays in it, so what the fuck.
Queen's Good!
phx,

O.K., my turn - that crossed a line:
Give it a fucking rest.
I remember when I first heard The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan on my brother's car stereo. The WWIII Blues song where he goes on about listening to an operator telling him the time was the most creative thing I'd ever heard, and finally connected with the part of the sixties before The Beatles changed everything.
I'm just sayin'.
Needs an "all of the above" imo. :)
I'm putting deborah in charge of the music.
Be a little eclectic now.
No megahits please.
My vote for house band is Jimmy Cliff.
Jimmy Cliff's music stands up remarkably well compared to his contemporaries from the 60's and 70's.
Friday's could be cool jazz night at Lem's.
I was going to go w/Hendrix initially as well. But then chose the Stones for the reasons described in my comment at that site.
There's another reason or two that I have, as well. ;-)
I'd audition you as Lem's music director for a week, Crack. But anyone who doesn't so show some good dj chops is out, fast.
Perhaps some more "contemporary" (meaning youthful) options?
I second the suggestion of Garbage, but realize that the average age of blog commenters here might be considerably older than my demographic.
Trouble with Hendrix as house band, IMO, is not enough variety.
Kelly Ali and the Sneaker Pimps.
Also, Hendrix is incredible, but left such a short compilation. Not that he didn't pack an incredibly concentrated display of talent into the body of recorded work that remained.

When it comes to music, all your politics or other disgraces are forgiven, whoever you are.
Likewise.
@deborah: I'm a chirbit peanut monkey...all my friends are junkies...
Yes. March 29th broadcast.
Podcast here. Somewhere about the 1:37 mark.
I had a dream...
...crazy dream...
Waitaminnit.
Where's the Starland Vocal Band and "Afternoon Delight" from 1976?
Huh?
phx,

Shit, now I gotta know what you think [snicker] "good dj chops" are. [Yes, a 52 year old man just pulled a hoodie over his head and opened one of the largest collection of records, tapes, digital recordings, samples, and other ephemeral data the world has ever seen, and thought:

phx, home boy [false smile] you did say you like Dylan, right?
Bob Dylan?
Throw in some Stevie Ray Vaughn. And a bit of Joss Stone. And some later years Richie Havens.
Okay, why would you think Earth would look bigger?
Saturn is much bigger than Earth, yet you need a good sky to see it. It's a dot. Now reverse positions and look at Earth from Saturn and Earth's dot will be even smaller.
Crack:
I'm glad you are around. Very candidly and respectfully, you -- and several others -- strike me as kind of crazy. But I like you and enjoy your comments.
Oh we're all insane!
Come on, Father. Admit that you've danced hip-hop style with hands in the air to B Real before. Or maybe just bounced up and down a bit.
Michael Haz,
Throw in some Stevie Ray Vaughn. And a bit of Joss Stone. And some later years Richie Havens.
You mean a mash-up, right?
I vote for Judas Priest, just because it'll piss off the neighbors.
Well, okay, not JUST because. I'm gonna go listen to Headin' Out to the Highway now....
Fr Martin Fox in the hizzle! < I'm white can I say hizzle?>
Crack - mash up maybe, but some of the tracks stand up pretty well by themselves.
Thanks, Balls, both links copied.
phx and PMJ, will you each post here a representative song that you really like from Garbage. I've only vaguely heard of them.
I'll have to look up Jimmy Cliff.
Chick, you know I don't understand that complicated twitter business!
Hey, what is the chem meaning of Bagohs2, or whatever it was?
Rev, that would have been too scientific :)
'Night all, almost midnight.
Righ'chere, Doc:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpGRdX5sUAs
Padre, are you cool for a minute?
I gotta little emergency here to handle,...
Starland Vocal Band kinda shot the wad with that song didn't they? I mean did they ever do it again?
There had better be some Bob Marley. And Pearl Jam. And Miles Davis on nights when it rains.
But no Blowfish.
Hey, what is the chem meaning of Bagohs2, or whatever it was?
It's the chemical difference between H2O and H2S
Too bad Palladian wasn't here tonight. This is his kind of thread.
Here are the tie-ins:
Judas Priest took their name from a Bob Dylan song, and their lead singer is a poofter who likes torturing people for his sexual kicks.
So it all leads back to you-know-who....
Michael Haz,
There had better be some Bob Marley. And Pearl Jam. And Miles Davis on nights when it rains.
But no Blowfish.
Dude, you and the mash-ups, man, c'mon.
You got the right idea, but first let's get the room right.
Where the hell is deborah?
Sorry, Padre,...
Icepick,
Too bad Palladian wasn't here tonight. This is his kind of thread.
I was hopin' he'd stop by. I just stumbled on it myself. deborah had some cool art shit in the window, I came in, and it's just kinda becoming a party.
Man, tonight, if Palladian came by, I'd cheer him up.
I wonder if deborah told Troop,...
Pollo,
Bagoh2S is my brother. We don't let him come over until after dinner when everyone is outside smoking stogies. He ruins everyone's appetite.
I've missed out on most of the comments the last few days. What's this talk of Palladian and M? WTF? (I'm trying to catch up but have no hope even if I skip sleeping tonight.)
Sweet Jeebus, Insta has added comments?
What in the Hell is goin' on here?
My personal favorite:
#1 Crush, the version which was featured on the Claire Danes/Leonardo DiCaprio version of Romeo & Juliet's soundtrack.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GOcifyR0Vg
Of their studio album's, I would say the best is early work such as Queer, which was their first big radio hit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEHhBS0B3R0
Never mind telling me what went on with Palladian and Dickweed. I've found it, and WOW. I feel like Pogo when he says he doesn't understand people at all.
Titus,
Crack, do you have a big black hog?
Dude (yes).
What, somebody from the 50s wasn't good enough?
How 'bout Buddy Holly?
The Ventures?
The Beach Boys, even?
phx, home boy [false smile] you did say you like Dylan, right?
Bob Dylan?
Give the brother some room. He's boostin' something inneresting.
I feel like I've missed out on something.
Rats!

As for the poll... I'm fine with Queen.
[Yawn]
Hey [smiles, blinks] Good Morning! I must've fallen asleep with the headphones on. Did somebody mention Garbage?
That's funny because that's what's on right now.
Anybody hungry? You like eggs?
Wait up a minute,...
I just found some eggs (I don't know where deborah keeps this shit)
Give me a minute. I ain't no chef.
I follow a recipe,...
Personally I would like to hear faithful covers of the great American songbook by Bennet, Sinatra, Ella, Nancy Wilson and Anita O'Day.
Diane Krall and Cassandra Wilson would also figure into the mix.

I was remiss, but I would have put up Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash also :)
Trooper:

Absolutely. But, for the record, I'm not much of a Buble fan. Rod Stewart did a nice little career pivot, I think.
PMJ, phx, and Crack, thanks for the Garbage links. I liked 'When I grow up,' but the other two were too down for me.
Not that I don't like some down:
