2 June 2011: It's... The Bo Diddley Beat
« on: June 01, 2011, 07:45:09 PM »
It's AL's turn to pay homage to the Bo Diddley Beat. 

I figured we'd get the usual suspects, so I've requested The Smiths (How Soon Is Now?), The Clash (Hateful) & The Strokes fabulous (Last Nite).  I was on the fence with this one...but Dramarama (Anything, Anything) has the beat...or am I imagining it?

So we're celebrating death anniversaries now?  ;)

Funny, I was predicting '80s tomorrow and hopiing for 1967 on Friday -- the 3rd of June, another sleepy dusty delta (birth)day.

Dave's Diddley set from 3 years ago:

1.   Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley     
2.   Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy     
3.   Rolling Stones - Not Fade Away     
4.   David Bowie - Panic in Detroit (BEST OF SET!!)     
5.   Eric Clapton - Willie & the Hand Jive     
6.   George Thorogood & the Destroyers - Who Do You Love     
7.   Bruce Springsteen - She's the One     
8.   George Michael - Faith     
9.   Pretenders - Cuban Slide     
10.   U2 - Desire     
 
BONUS TRACK:  Beck - Black Tamborine

Clapton: Today's nominee for "Is it better to die young or to age painfully?"

With fierce competition from Rod Stewart.

Mmmmm.... Cuban drinks.

for those unaware, an Old Cuban is in the Mojito family, only substitute champagne for club soda and serve "up" rather than on-the-rocks.

6 mint leaves
1 ounce simple syrup (or less, to taste)
3/4 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
1 1/2 ounces Bacardi 8 (or substitute another medium-bodied gold rum)
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Ice
2 ounces chilled champagne
