Blonde Tracks – Heart of Glass By Blondie

Several hundred fans of the Monkey With a Gun blog have written in to note that all of the songs on the new feature “Lost Tracks” had something to do with blondes.  First, it was Concrete Blonde, and then yesterday, 4 Non Blondes.  My first thought was, that’s ridiculous, yesterday had absolutely nothing to do with blondes because the 4 Non Blondes are “NON Blondes.”  How could a NON blonde have anything to do with blondes?  Does NOT breathing have anything to do with breathing?  Is it me?  It’s them, right?

Marco Rubio Uses Images of Canada in New Campaign Ad, Is an Idiot

Lost Tracks – Joey by Concrete Blonde

So I’m starting a new feature called “Lost Tracks” to get us through what I think everyone will agree is the absolute worst time of the year.  The Super Bowl is over, Valentine’s Day is depressing, the weather sucks, March Madness hasn’t started yet and baseball is a month and a half away.  Really nothing whatsoever to recommend this section of the calendar.  You could pull my fingernails out one by one until I identified a worse time of the year and I would bleed out from the ends of my fingers and thumbs.   Continue reading
