Setlist – 07/05/2011
Well, it's that time of year. Went ahead n' broke out another themed show. Thankfully, we are back to booze – Drug Month is OVER – so it was not so hard. I decided to go with American places. I don't think much of the politics in this place, a lot of the time, and I don't like to judge people, per se, but there are some neat places in the good ole' USA, and I like that that is true. So I'm celebrating it on this, our semi-birthday. I hope you'll all drink along with me at home, as we explore some wonderfully American places – some more than others; Milwaukee has a disproportionate number of drinking songs written about it. Tho I guess, really, it's just appropriately portionate.
UPDATE: That was pretty successful. I ran out of time, and learned that I sucked at geography but continue to be pretty effing good at picking out songs. If you missed it live and want to listen, click here to download a recording of the show, from Radio4All. And like I always say, if you use Facebook and you're not a fan of Mother's Milk on Facebook, you are doing yourself and your children a disservice. You can check us out on Facebook by clicking here.
