Have I already used this image? Does anyone care? This is hilarious!
It’s Sunday night. All across the country, people are watching horrible television. I know this because I drove to Nicci’s house after work only to learn that she was involved in a reality cooking show, and half of her neighbors were involved in an episode of a vampire drama. The other half of her neighbors were watching Jersey Shore. This left me with nothing to do but think about blogging. I was sidetracked for a few hours by a spur-of-the-moment poker tournament, but now that I’ve lost my $5 I can once again focus on sharing some music with you. It’s Sunday Mix Tape time!
BUT FIRST: Make sure you take note of the new poll I posted. I received a very generous donation from reader Stephen recently and I have been since wondering how to use it in order to create the best “Getting Drunk On Your Donations” story. I love drinking bourbon and getting into trouble, so I’m leaving the decision of how to spend my recent donation in your hands. As always, there will be a cool prize awarded to a registered Swan Fungus user (selected at random) upon the poll’s completion. Don’t forget, if you want to be featured in your own Swan Fungus blog post, just donate some money so that I can get drunk and act a fool, and then I’ll share the story of how I spent your donation with my audience. Amazing, right?
And lastly, I want to state for the record that if there’s no update tomorrow, it’s not because I’m dead. Let’s just say I have plans with a major record label executive and leave it at that.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. The theme this week is, “Shit I was given when someone came into my place of work and asked if I wanted to copy his entire 1 terabyte hard drive filled with music.”. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
