Sweet potatoes are delicious

OK. My daughter Hailey (as shown in the picture above) absolutely loves sweet potatoes and the mess they make of her face.

Unrelatedly, the following songs have been stuck in my head as of late for some reason unknown to me. Maybe I heard them on the radio? Maybe at work? Good songs with a truly 80’s flair to them. I mean you can’t go wrong with a little Big Audio Dynamite, New Order, and The The. The perfect cure for what appears to be another (of a certain many) Cubs losses.

Did anyone else see Chris from Gorilla vs. Bear or “the ultimate Rock InsiderJAX in the latest issue of Filter Magazine? Good thing we have the photogenic ones representing us music bloggers, eh.

Also, don’t forget to listen to my first foray into the world of podcasting. There were a few minor technical details that will be fixed by next time, but Can You Hear The Podcast From The Southside? will be back with another heaping dose of music before you know it. If you have any additional suggestions, drop me a line.

MP3 | Big Audio Dynamite – The Globe The Globe
MP3 | New Order – Bizarre Love Triangle Substance
MP3 | The The – This Is The Day Soul Mining

    ok, after posting this then realizing i could be wrong…i looked into it a little further…BAD was an 80s band and one member stayed and created BAD II, which released ‘the globe’in 1990. the only reason i remember that is because my friend wendy and i used to drive around listening to that song in her blue geo tracker.

    Any chance we’ll hear “Chasing Amy”?

    my 2 year old the Iz has been hooked on sweet potatoes since he started taking solids. it’s a reliable solution to his current picky ways (along with egg salad, go figure.)
    can’t wait to listen to the podcast…

    i thought the plural of potato was “potatoes”? that’s how i’ve been spelling it anyway.
