Mothers Day stinks.

Mothers Day stinks, and here's why:

1) It's on a Sunday, so moms can't get cards (or in my mom's case, a check for a new lawnmower + 50%) in the mail unless it's to arrive the day before or the day after, which takes some of the fun out of it.

2) The only mother-related song I have is Thirston Howl III's "I Still Live With My Moms", so last night I FTP'ed it to my site in preparation for linking to it today. Much like my thing with the mail, it didn't make sense to link to it last night, as last night was not Mothers Day; it was Mothers Eve. As we all know, Mothers Eve is a totally different holiday -- it's like the difference between Halloween (ghosts) and All Hallows Day (saints), or like the difference between Holy Thursday (a big supper with your pals) and Good Friday (getting nailed to a cross). I'm not exactly sure what the tradition is for Mothers Eve, but I'll take suggestions while I try to think of something.

3) This isn't really 3; I'm using it because 2 got derailed. And this isn't anything either, merely a smoke break so we can continue 2 in 4, which is what 2 would have been if it hadn't gone off the tracks.

4) So yeah, I was going to post "I Still Live With My Moms" by Thirston Howl III, but then I saw that Station Manager Ken had already posted it to the WFMU blog. He's got the entire WFMU library at his disposal, and he chooses to post the one song that I was going to post. That's another reason why [this] Mothers Day stinks.

5) To be fair, the only reason I have that Thirston Howl song is because it came on a compilation from an FMU dj, but still ...

6) Enjoy the song.
