I’m 70% American, with two Radiohead tracks and Our Lady Peace holding me back. However, it really doesn’t get much more American than Bruce Springsteen and Janis Joplin.

And have you heard the new Sigur Ros Single? Its surprisingly upbeat.

So it’s obviously before noon, and here I am. I put my phone on silent because I knew the Girl wouldn’t be able to restrain herself from letting me sleep as late as I wanted, but unfortunately set it too close to my alarm clock and as soon as she called it did that “cell phone interference thing” where it makes anything with a speaker buzz, and thus woke me up. The best laid plans….

Anyway, here’s my completely tax free and totally American ten (by the way, them’s fightin’ words Nico).

1. Kiss – Calling Dr. Love
2. Flatt & Scruggs – the Martha White Theme
3. Hank Willams – (I’m Gonna) Sing, Sing, Sing
4. Kelly Willis – Happy With That
5. Charlie Rich – I Take it on Home
6. Agents of Good Roots – One Strange Land
7. Merle Haggard – Roly Poly
8. Muddy Waters – I Love the Life I Live, I Live the Life I Love
9. Ted Nugent – Free For All
10. Beck – Fourteen Rivers, Fourteen Floods

Last nights celebration at Mt. Rushmore was just as good, if not better, than last years! If it wasn’t for the dog waking me up this morning it would have been better.
