Clark Hall Pub Hitlist
Ashley Bristowe writes up Chris Turner’s Clark Standards Songlist, a compilation of the big hits at Clark Hall Pub, the engineering student-run bar at Crazy Go Nuts University where Turner and I used to DJ. The list covers Ashley’s stay there, 1991 through 1996, which overlaps significantly with mine (1987 – 1994; I DJ’d at Clark from 1989 through 1994). On the list:
- Jesus Built My Hotrod – Ministry
- Head Like a Hole – Nine Inch Nails
- Debaser – Pixies
- Cannonball – The Breeders
- Elephant Stone – The Stone Roses
- There’s No Other Way – Blur
- Loser – Beck
- Sabotage – Beastie Boys
- Jump Around – House of Pain
- Hobo Humpin’ Slobo Babe – Whale
- Been Caught Stealing – Jane’s Addiction
- Big Time Sensuality – Bjork
- Underwhelmed – Sloan
- Supersonic – Oasis
- Basket Case – Green Day
- Miss World – Hole
- Homeboy – Adorable
- Supernaut – 1000 Homo DJs
- It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) – R.E.M.
The list is pretty good, but needs Ween’s Push Th’ Little Daisies, Front 242’s Headhunter 3.0, Rick James’ Super Freak, KMFDM’s Godlike and They Might Be Giants’ Birdhouse in Your Soul for good measure.

Shanah Tovah
Sunset today marks the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. As you might know, my wife (Wife!
Gotta get used to saying that) is Jewish, and we’ll celebrate with the
traditional apples and honey as well as adding an Asian twist by having
noodles for dinner — the traditional Chinese New Year food symbolizing
long life.
Whether you say “happy new year” as “shana tovah!” or “manigong bagong taon!“, have a happy one, everybody!
This year’s Shabot 6000 comic on Rosh Hashanah is a Flash animation that plays off the tequila/tekiyah
pun. Alas, it’s nowhere nearly as good as last year’s comic, which
remains, in this humble gentile’s opinion, the best Rosh Hashanah comic
ever:

Back in Town
Actually, we’ve been back since Tuesday afternoon, but have been taking
it easy. Wendy and I arrived home to find a note from my sister
informing us that she left us some just-heat-it-and-eat-it stuff from
Ma Maison, a great French restaurant around the corner for her place. I
was expecting to order pizza that night, but instead we supped on some
very tasty salmon with shredded carrots and baby bok choy, salad and
apple tarts. Thanks, sis!
Wednesday was really “Wend’s Day”, as I took her about town on a
just-for-her kind of day. We first went to Rol San for dim sum (j,
we’ll have to take you here the next time you’re in town) and then to
Steve’s Music Store to pick out my wedding present to her: an acoustic
guitar. She picked out a lovely dark brown wild cherry solid-top Art
& Lutherie axe and has already learned a couple of chords. After
that, she got her hair cut at W on Queen Street West. She grew her hair
out for the wedding, but the long hair’s been driving her crazy. It’s
now a very cute bob. Finally, we grabbed a turkey/brie/avocado sandwich
at the Drake Hotel Cafe and headed home for guitar practice and to give
our new Playstation 2 game, We ❤ Katamari, a good workout.
