Well, the thing is, and I think I speak for pretty much all of TODCRA here, if not merely most of it... but the thing is that drunks themselves aren't cool, but it's alcoholic culture. Stuff like the Pogues/Shane MacGowan, Tom Waits, Maakies... the whole "Hello! I drink to forget and slowly kill myself! I enjoy pain stoppin'! Dook Dook Dook!". Hell, one of the members of TODCRA (none of us drink, best of my knowledge, and pretty much all of us are dead set against it, more or less (course, we've also got the whole, 'meh, if you wanna drink, knock yerself out. Just don't get in my face about it.' sorta deal going on)) has one of the Maakies t-shirts, the one with Uncle Gabby saying "Being Drunk is the Best Feeling in My Poor World" while holding a pistol. <P>The joke we constantly make is that it's TRUE, which is SAD cause we DON'T DRINK. but, uh, yeah. <P>Anyway, in seriousness, there's probably gonna be a TODCRA drinking album in the near future. It needs to be written. And it might actually have a bunch of guest musicians on it. Haven't decided yet.<P>And if mp3.com'd allow covers, we'd probably cover "Yeah yeah yeah yeah (long version)" byt he Pogues and almost certainly "Drunk by Noon" from the Handsome Family.<P>Jesus. If you get anything out of this post: LISTEN TO THAT SONG. Preferably the version on the Radio K: Stuck on 3AM compilation (it's much better than the album version -- the album version is too cluttered, while the live version from the Radio K comp is just right.). It's really available on Audiogalaxy. So, uh, yeah. Check it out. It's one of the best things you can do. Especially if you too dig alcoholic culture. Even though it's not as much into the Alcoholism thing. Just mostly. Yeah.<P><P>------------------
