Man, that can't be said too many times.

My favorite to drink to are Johnny Cash, Pantera, Motorhead and the classic Best of George Thorogood & the Destroyers... I do believe it is impossible to keep pace with One Burbon, One Scotch and One Beer. Maybe one day.

What was on a casette mix tape labeled "Radio 12/95--01/96" that I found while going through some shit last night: London Calling [Clash], People Who Died [Jim Somebody??], Self-Esteem [Offspring], The Man Who Sold the World [Bowie], Creep [Radiohead], Loser [Beck], Supersonic [Oasis--actually a pretty good cut I knew a girl named Ilsa/she's into alka slesa/shedone it with the doctor/on a helicopter/and she make me laugh/i got her photograph: that da-dum circular beat ], Low [Camper Van Beethoven], Doll Parts [Hole]. A golden age of rock (and drinking).

"People Who Died" is by Jim Carroll, of "Basketball Diaries" fame...

Yup. And Low is by Cracker, not Camper Van Beethoven. Admittedly the line up of both bands is almost the same.

Feeder - "High"

Guess I'm stuck in a dream
Surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground
As I stare at the trees
I see one fall down on my hand
As I start to explore
I can't ignore a man
He turns his head around
His face was all worn by the sun

CHORUS:
I'm going out for a while
So I can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cos I won't be home
Today

Drifting down a road
Losing myself in a dream
Feel my hands getting cold
Sat in a boat on a lake

CHORUS

Climbing up trying my best
As I sink
Climbing up trying my best
As I sink again

Lying back on the floor
Reaching up high into space
See myself in a glass
I'm counting the lines on my face
Again
Counting the lines on my face
Again

CHORUS 2X

Today, today, today, today, etc. (to end)

Of course, it all depends on your definition of "High"...

I like it to be quiet when I drink.
The bars in my home town works like this:

At around 18:00 you walk into the bar and start drinking while chatting with your friends. The music they play is often the latest commercial hits or some braindead muzak - but they keep the volume low.

At around 19:00 people are starting to get drunk, thus raising their voices a little. Now, for some strange reason, the bartender will raise the volume on the stereo - as if we were actually listening to the music.

At around 19:01, people start to talk even louder, to be heard through the music.

This goes on and on in a downward spiral until you almost get tinnitus when all you really wanted was to drink beer. There are a few bars around here that don't practice this stupid method and those are my favourites.

As for parties, I like Frank Black, The Pixies, The Breeders and similar music. Exactly the same music I prefer when undrunk.

Well maybe I'm sometimes a bit anti-social, but you can sometimes find me sitting in my local bar with my drink and headphones. It drowns out the noise of the fucking fruit machine, prevents arsehole from approaching me and I get to listen to what I like. No problems from the staff, they don't mind (unless I get really blitzed and start singing along) and they just keep bringing me fresh drinks, everytime my glass gets empty, until I put my coat on.

Hey my friend, if you drank in my local, even with earplugs in you could here the music. At 7 o'clock the lights go down and the music gets louder :twisted:

Miles Davis... Radiohead... The Grateful Dead... The Allman Brothers...

And I'll stand by each and every one of those selections.

May I add Saint John of Coltrane to the list? " A Love Supreme" is a very spiritual record which perfectly matches the religious fervor I put to my drinking.

A current favourite...

Feeder - "Just a day"

Waking up at twelve in my clothes again
Feel my head explode from a night of gin
Another night out late
I don't want to drink, don't want to be a clown
I got to get my feet back on the ground
Before it pulls me in

How come it ended up like this
And who's gonna catch me when I'm coming down to hit the ground again

All by myself waking up at 12 in my clothes again
Cause I don't want to drag you down hold you down
Cause you're a friend, I blame myself
Feel my head explode from a night of gin
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now

On the underground with the freaks and frowns
Looking at the world through silver clouds
But then it all came down
I've got to rise above the emotional flood
I've got to cut these ropes around my hands
Pull myself around

How come it ended up like this
And who's gonna be there when I've lost control I'm heading to crashland

All by myself waking up at 12 in my clothes again
Cause I don't want to drag you down hold you down
Cause you're a friend, I blame myself
Feel my head explode from a night of gin
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now

All by myself, cause I don't want to drag you down,
Hold you down cause you're a friend. I blame myself
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now, it's such a shame

All by myself waking up at 12 in my clothes again
Cause I don't want to drag you down hold you down
Cause you're a friend, I blame myself
Feel my head explode from a night of gin
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now, it's such a sin

All by myself waking up at 12 in my clothes again
Cause I don't want to drag you down hold you down
Cause you're a friend, I blame myself
Feel my head explode from a night of gin
I guess you think it's funny now, funny now

I think it says it all.

THE STREETS

"Too Much Brandy"

Smell of good earthy herbs makes my nerves shudder but where were you that cold December
cos we were in the Grasshopper spending guilders
Central Station, charged up like Scarface Amsterdam ain't a nice place off your face, we
enter the race
Walk down, been there before, done that, no joy, if you're bored, let's go see Roy, get
fucked up with the boys
Calvin, Schmalvin, I'm well within my limit, oh hang on a minute, these mushrooms just
kicked in, think I might be finished
The ball game heads for the worse, for what it's worth I might just fall off the edge of
the earth, brain's kind of surfing now
We wander down darkened pathways in a daze, "Want to buy any cocaine?", am I paranoid? "Yes,
you're paranoid"
Charlie, darling, please save me, this is raving, take me home to my baby, two bags of
mushrooms, room's mushed up and I need a cradle

In its own little way, my body was trying to say that you better stop drinking brandy
In its own little way, my body was trying to say that you better stop drinking brandy

Now getting to the bar's gonna be trouble
So the Marlons'll have to be doubles
Then you drink doubles
The same speed you drink singles
Ah beautiful, the barman holds aloft the crystal glass and I'm having all that's in the
bubble in the bottom of the bottle
Then by three or four, your head's a bit mangled
Club's full, you mingle
You dance the fandango
You sing all your favourite jingles
Far gone on one, call me Baron Von Marlon
One has a monocle and cigar
Dickie-bow and long johns
My utility belt tells me it's to the bar Batman
Fat cans of that lager then it's straight to the dance-floor
For much more fancy footwork, it's adored by many amour
Don't awe me with your little sidestep technique
Gget to the beat, loosen up, it's The Streets

In its own little way, my body was trying to say that you better stop drinking brandy
In its own little way, my body was trying to say that you better stop drinking brandy

We eat junk food, sat drunk on the tube
Every time the train clunks I feel like puking
Wonder whether that beautiful bird'll ring,
Then it all goes hazy, these are the days we're walking up out and back to the road, talking
Well shouting actually, loads more drunk, by Jove, mind's focused, balance fucked up
Ra, ra, ra, it's all back to the Dogstar and if it's his round I'm quite partial to another
Marlon at the bar
Bad idea to start again late, should've given my brain a break
Take it easy mate, you start to think you're a state, you definitely are a state

In its own little way, my body was trying to say that you better stop drinking brandy
In its own little way, my body was trying to say that you better stop drinking brandy

Drinking Music

Oh dear god, I can't help myself...

Somebody stop me...
