My weekend project: Smashing my old cement steps in the back and building new wooden stairs. Fun! Here's a random top 10 to get me started...
1. Let the Train Blow the Whistle -- Johnny Cash
2. Palisades -- Wedding Present
3. Storm in My House -- Minutemen
4. Anna Begins -- Counting Crows
5. Artists Only (live) -- Talking Heads
6. The Underdog -- Spoon
7. Fifth House -- John Coltrane
8. Lone Star Trail -- Ken Manyard
9. Five Years -- David Bowie
10. Slate -- Uncle Tupelo
Bonus: On a Night Like this -- Los Lobos
O.k. Not the greatest list but what the heck it's Labor Day Weekend, what do you want? What's your top 10?
Be careful with those steps. I darn near killed myself smashing my front steps a couple years ago. Swinging the sledge is kinda fun, though. :-)
