Tonight, a special feature!  It's the end of 2010, for Mother's Milk.  So we thought we'd take a look at the people who died this year.  I compiled a massive list of musicians who kicked the bucket this year, and went down it finding songs that reference booze from each one.  And I have way more than I can cram into a single show, so I might just go with this theme next week too, I haven't decided, but either way, THIS week there are tons of dead musicians on boozy tracks.  Enjoy – maybe you'll find someone you like, a little too late to give them any cash for music.  This week marks the final Rum Doings episode of 2010 as well (obviously, since it's the last episode of Mother's Milk period, for this year).  If you'd like to listen to the episode of Rum Doings which we broadcast tonight, click here.

UPDATE:  Miss the live broadcast?  It's cool, guy; just download it right now – click here and make your ears happy.  As per always, if you're not a fan of Mother's Milk on Facebook, click here and check out our Facebook page.  It's neat, sometimes, and mostly harmless.  Your friends will think you're cool.  

The setlist doesn't tell you who died, so for the record, here's my notes.  Big apologies to Ronnie James Dio; I think I fucked up and played a Sabbath song he wasn't on.  Wikipedia said he did a record that All Music seems to say he didn't, so… I dunno.  I'll straighten it out during the week and play a definitively Dio drinking song first thing next week, okay?

Hey, guys, another grand adventure is in store for you this evening.  The first hour is comprised of a brief set in tribute to the sadly absent Dr. Straz, and then another massive Facebook Stalker feature, this time looking at my friend Mike Layne's wall.  The list of bands he's IN is diverse, so this collection of artists who've found their way to his Facebook is close to staggering in its breadth.  I mean, it's a bunch of different shit; I just wanted to use that phrase. 

After that, some more new music in the second hour, and whatever you'd like to hear.  Hollah!

You're probably wondering why you're looking at Jem.  I decline to tell you – I'd love to hear your best guess in the comments, though.

Anyways, we have a great show lined up: quite eclectic, a little laid back, and just like every week for the past five years, nice n' drunk. Thanks for listening, stay tuned, n' have a ball!

Mother's Milk here with your weekly dose of Monday night drinkin'!  Thanks for listening, awesomeness is ensuing now, and you're presumably drinking along at home and reveling in it. 

And… we're done!  Show was great.  The podcast is available here for download.  Stay up to date on Mother's Milk happenings by liking us on Facebook – click here for our Facebook page. Fair warning, there are a couple of skips in the beginning because the damn computer at the station wanted to do a virus scan, and is not really capable of doing that and keeping up with my awesome tunage at the same time.  It sorts itself out in short order.

Tons of goodness in store for you tonight!  Booze is in order, as always… our now regular Facebook Stalker segment is back with a vengeance, with a bunch o' blues n' a smattering of rock n' hip-hop and god knows what else inspired by a friend's Facebook wall, then we've got some oldies and some newdies, and we'll be closing it up with a new episode of everyone's favorite British boozily-named podcast, Rum Doings.  Thanks for listening!

The podcast is available here.  If you'd like to hear the episode of Rum Doings which aired tonight, click here.

Yes.  I had to do it.  Why?  I don't know.  But it was a definite necessity, nonetheless.  After starting out with Pink, we'll be heading into other waters.  As usual, a broad range of stuff I've never played for you before, all on the topic of booze.  Drink up, ladies and gents!  For the record, we are continuing our ongoing Facebook Stalker series, and we're in the next-to-last week of the Clancy Brothers' Live Album Feature.  So that's exciting, right? 

The show was great again!  Hope you all enjoyed it… if you missed it, click here to download it.  Fans of industrial and electronic music, two genres that don't generally get much play on Mother's Milk (much to my ongoing chagrin) should enjoy the second hour.  Fans of music about drinking will, as per always, have a hell of a good time.  Are you a fan of Mother's Milk on Facebook?  You certainly should be.  Click here to become one!

Hey guys! Tonight, we have some requests that I wasn’t able to fill last week, some new requests, a set inspired by music mentioned recently on my friend Jamie’s Facebook page, and… EVEN MORE! That’s right, for the low, low price of FREE you too can experience aural inebriation! After the Haberdasher’s ridiculously long jam plays out, anyways… good lord, this song is long!

Miss the live broadcast? It’s cool, there’s a dead broadcast! Err, podcast. But it’s totally lively. Click here to download it and listen to it at your leisure!

Is ‘boozic’ a real work? If not, I just invented it. And I have an English degree, so I am licensed to coin words. Tonight’s show features some new local stuff, some stuff inspired by my friend Jon’s Facebook page, and some other random new shit that is sure to please… all of it thoroughly boozy! Thanks for listening! Click ‘Read More’ for the setlist, and if you weren’t able to listen life, click here to download the podcast. We are always there for you!

For the record, thanks for DONATING last week, too – if you haven’t yet, there’s TOTALLY still time. Also, big mad crazy props to whoever picked Mother’s Milk and Wordy Birds as their two favorite shows. Mine too!

Sup, guys? Crack open a cold one – it’s time to listen to some musics about drinkin’. We’re starting out with a look at some music that’ll be heard hereabouts in the next week or so, and then we’ll play some more stuff we’ve never played before. It promises to be a grand ole’ time.

For the record, here are the (tribute) bands playing this weekend.  It's worth pointing out that these are all either existing local bands doing a tribute act for one night, or super-groups consisting of dudes (and at least one dudette) from multiple kick-ass local bands for one night only.  Except for the Damned – that'll be a three-off, by the end of the weekend, as La Mere Vipere was also The Damned for Halloween last year – and Blue Oyster Cult, which is playing twice. 

And here, folks, is the setlist from tonight’s show:
