So. Apparently that was the largest annual antique car show in the world. Loads of Mustangs, some Studebakers, old Fords with a circle of glass in front of the steering wheel for the windshield, a Rolls with British-side steering an' EVERYTHING, a Crosley (think old VW Bug, except this was made in 1949), some Viking longcars, even a bulldozer! The sunburn is very well worth it, and will be a tan in a few days anyway.
Anyway: rock and roll trivia! (Or is that music with rocks in trivia?)
In other words, bits of some very, very odd songs that I like a whole lot, and want to see if anyone else knows. Haven't Yousendit-ed any of these, but that can be arranged, if you request it.
Get one, and you get all MANNER of rock and roll points. And a drabble, if you're so inclined.
1) I work in an 'otel, all gilt and flash!
Remember the gap where the doors we smashed?
2) My heart's in the basement
My weekend's at an all-time low
3) A mix of cheap cologne, weasel pheromone, and rotted grave (I have a feeling that, if anyone gets this one, they may not know it from where I know it. It's the name of the song as counts in this case.)
4) On a curve, through the shoulder
There's no parking in that trough
So I drive around all day
Coming atmospheric haze
Till I wanna get on again (Whoops. I have Yousendit-ed that before. 'S been a while, though.)
5) Give me back my lack of reason
Give me back my sense of humor
6) But when I got home, there was a new album by the Pousette-Dart Band and a whole bag of Archway date-filled oatmeal cookies and I realized
That two out of three ain't bad.
ETA, three unrelated notes: Am trying to convince Ji to take a second character up at
milliways_bar.
sotto_voce likes the mix CD (yay!). And after silliness at work, I might have to add 'hats for stuffed animals' to my interests list.

Ji is wondering if you wouldn't prefer a different smarmy character. Or perhaps one who's actually not from Discworld. She hasn't done that before, and thinks it sounds fun.

This means icons. XD
