Blast From the Past
I remember this story: squirrel. No wonder Saturday's anti-Putin rally in Moscow was so small: wee. In Russia, the squirrels will kill you and gut your corpse; so, you can only imagine what unspeakable horrors the remorseless killers of the FSB will devise and skillfully perpetrate. Yes, Comrade President Putin! Whatever you say, Comrade President Putin! Please, Comrade President Putin, not the squirrels! I want an open casket, Comrade President Putin, for my mother's sake!

And that's in today's friendly, democratic Russia. Imagine what they'd do to you in the bad old days of Soviet Russia.

Reel Big Fish, "A Little Doubt Goes a Long Way" (live) from Our Live Album is Better Than Your Live Album, Disc 2: Move Fastly With the Fast Music (T.L.A.M.)

Duvall, "Angels We Have Heard on High" from O Holy Night (Mt. Love)

Commentary: And because I've selected the live version of "A Little Doubt Goes a Long Way," there are lots of Aaron Barrett's "funny, funny jokes" included in today's Song of the Day. My first real rock show was Reel Big Fish at Clutch Cargo's in February 1999. Our first introduction to Mu330 came on that same spectacular night, as they were one of the opening bands. My life was never the same after seeing Reel Big Fish live on stage and for that I owe them a great debt.
