BTW South Song of the Day
Luckie Strike, "Slightly Stoopid" from Mailorder is Fun!! (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: I thought about choosing Ben Folds's "Losing Lisa" in honor of The L.A.W.'s birthday, but we're not losing The L.A.W. I can form tenuous links between BNL's "Maybe Katie" and The Watergirl and FoW's "Hey Julie" and Skeeter, and there's nothing tenuous about the links between Zach and Sarah and "Zak and Sara," but I just don't "see" my wicked, darling sister in "Losing Lisa." So, I picked a completely random song that I love love love. "Slightly Stoopid" is one of those songs I can put on repeat for a solid hour and not lose affection.

Speaking of names and names and connections, I've been watching a lot of the James Bond films lately, both in the build-up to the superb Casino Royale and in the afterglow, and I am endlessly... muddled by Michael G. Wilson, producer of the films from 1979's Moonraker through the present day and writer of five films from For Your Eyes Only (1981) through License to Kill (1989). He's obviously quite a bit older than me and he's Michael G. to my Michael P., but he's Michael Wilson. It's weird. Oh, and there is a preternatural connection between the names Michael and David Wilson, which I will discuss again another time; so, of course Michael G. Wilson has a son named David.

Anyway, thanks for the Bond films, Mr. Wilson, they're great.
