Thursday playlist: Loose associations
Last time grandpa fawcett posted here, it was a bunch of gripes. This time it’s a jumble of thoughts and enthusiasms, the ramblings of early dementia: 1.) This song “A Real Hero” by College (feat. Electric Youth) is from the movie Drive. I could not stop playing this song every day, ten times a day, [...]
Love is in the Mix
Here’s a mix I made for the cocktail hour before a friend’s wedding a few years ago. 1. There is No Greater Love – Dinah Washington 2. Isn’t it Romantic? – Chet Baker 3. My Funny Valentine – Miles Davis Quintet 4. Pretty-Eyed Baby – Roy Eldridge & Dizzy Gillespie 5. Come Rain or Come [...]
Thursday playlist: 10 recent gripes
Ten recent gripes: 1.) Aging 2.) American people’s opposition to Progressive Taxation. How did so many Americans reach the conclusion that it is not the role of goverment to correct economic injustice? It makes me sick that lofty principals of limited government trump the equally lofty principals of economic fairness. America is so weird. 3.) [...]

Robyn – Every Teardrop is a Waterfall (Coldplay cover) 2.) Lady Gaga – The Edge of Glory 3.) Katy Perry – Last Friday Night [...]

Mixmas 2010 – the embarrassing version
If you’re keeping up here, you might be aware that there are two parts to this year’s Fawcett/Honeycups mixmas. Part one, released last week, was an expansive showcase of our unassailable impeccably exquisitely awesome taste. Part two is quite the opposite. Here we open up and let you see the underside. No pretense. No holding [...]
Thursday playlist: Just a matter of waiting it out
Can we all agree this isn’t the cheeriest time of the year? Okay, probably not; I know not everyone’s with me on this. But you know what I mean, right? The shorter days and longer nights are part of it, and the beginning of the really unpleasantly cold months, for those of us who live [...]
