It’s 4/20 dude!! High school stoners, rejoice. And for you, some Cab Calloway.
Thanks! I love Cab Calloway. That’s one of my favourites of his. (I like “Kickin’ The Gong Around” the best, but as far as I know, you can’t see it on YouTube anymore because they took the video down.) I really ought to be about 40 years too young to like swing, but I like it anyway. It has a sort of proto-punk sensibility filtered through the sounds of klezmer. (I wrote about that, incidentally; a few too few words on Klez Calloway…)
You should post some croatian music. :P
Ha. Except I’m not Croatian (I’m Serbian). But if you want to send me some, I’d love to hear it!
Oh that reefer man! So long ago, so long ago.

Speaking of you not being Croatian, I always get thrown when I read in the paper about the UFC fighter who shares your surname.
Your remarkable penchant for having one Tom Waits song per week continues.
it’s all tamburitzas and cevapcici to me
How about some Frankie Lane:
Haha, ok.
Really, all Balkan music is very cool and badass.
Like Bijelo Dugme. Mmmm!!!!
I have a problem with Hector B’s comment.
DO NOT reduce anyone’s culture like that. Ok?
It’s racist and showcases ignorance.
Alll I did was make a silly suggestion, which was not an invitation for you to display your uninformed shitty stereotypes about Balkan peoples and Balkan cultures.
Hi di hi di hi di ho!
thanks for that. *puffs*
but tamburitza music and cevapcici are my favorite parts of the culture. The millenium of ethnic and religious hatred is not.
Cab Calloway was my first concert. My dad made my sister and I go when I was about 10. At the time we were very bitter about being forced to see an old man who we had never heard of (and I’m sure my dad was even more bitter to have been forced to drag a 10-year-old and an 8-year-old with him), but in hindsight, it was pretty cool.
The “hi di hi di hi di ho” song is the only one I remember.
Minnie the Moocher? Or did he insert that into every one of his songs?
