Spiders love eight! I'm passing out the Eightoraid!

August eighth, two-thousand eight
At eight PM, a lucky date
The Chinese all seem to revere
(And twice the sum of all their fears)
Not many songs will fit that theme
Unpopular topic, it seems
But I'll say this in my defense
You don't know what I'm up against.

8:00
1. Swingle Singers - Well tempered clavier book 2, No. 9 in E major, BWV 878- Prelude No. 9 (3:20)

On Monday, Jasper played a Señor Coconut cover of "Sweet Dreams" and everyone said it sounded like something I would play. Now, I won't say it isn't like something I would play, because it's just the sort of thing I would play and have played in the past. Just to prove a point, I thought I'd play something like it.

I'm a big fan of red wines and I love shiraz and my favorite is the Australian shirazes. Texans and Australians are very similar in a lot of ways and I know our neighbors down under have been having a bit of a drought. I don't know how this is going to effect the vintages this year, but I hope things work out for them soon.
