‘Christmas Means That Truck Day’s Rounding Third’ is perfect.

Major Intangibles.
In even-numbered years, I also do a Labor Day weekend Mixtape. It is themed differently than the Memorial Day compilation.
Songs of Work and Toil;
1. Workin’ in The Coal Mine/Sixteen Tons – Oswald Brougham and the Knowledge – Late poster Ozzy always had, if not a soft spot in his heart for the coal miners, a hard spot in his slacks against the coal mine owners. So a medley of two songs about mining. Getting back to the band name; Someone named Oswald could be referred to by the familiar ‘Ozzy’, a brougham was a type of carriage & later large/luxury car style, and prospective cab drivers in London, England need pass ‘The Knowledge of London’ exam to earn their green badge.
2. I Dreamed I Saw Joe Gill Last Night, Collecting EBT- Jayden Seeger – A reworking of the hoary folk song about IWW’s* Joe Hill, done here by a putative relation of Pete Seeger, one with that currently and absurdly popular boys name of ‘Jayden’. And about our favorite underemployed content cook. (*- No, not about Wrestling.)
3. The Hardest Job in the World…X3 (Theme to the ABCFamily program ‘Nurse TeacherMom’) – Sara Bareilles (with Kelis & Vonda Shepard) – What if one person had to do the self-described three hardest jobs in the world? A mom, who also teaches at a nursing school? And what if it was a TV show? It would need a theme song. With three singers. Ms. Bareilles best known for that ‘Love Song’ from some years back, Kelis for that ‘Milkshake’ song, and Ms. Shepard did the theme to Ally McBeal.
4. I Hate Myself More Than I Hate My Job & I Hate My Job A Lot –Live Zzam & The CSN Symphony – Live Zzam is merely Evil Mazz spelled backwards. A play on the ‘Evil Tony’ persona. And a guy who has that many awful radio personas must be full of self-loathing.
5. Arthur T is Right For Me/Arthur S, You Caused This Mess – Original Cast of ‘Market Basket Cases’ – If there wasn’t an Off-Off-Broadway Musical about the 2014 Market Basket supermarket protests over the firing of Arthur T. Demoulas as CEO, there ought to have been. This would have been the number that ends Act One.
6. Everyone Does A Great Job (They Really Do) – Mu’umu’u Larry – As clear as his cartoons are opaque.
7. Proud Young Americans (DJ Crunk El S.a.m.M.i. remix) – Ron Muskmelon Catamount – A remix of one of the Board’s favorite songs. By a patriotically named DJ.
8. Pin Monkey (live w/monologue) – Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band – One of my favorite songs by the Boss. Great monologue, too. LINK I hope he writes it someday.
9. I @!&%ing Hate Work, I Want to Keep Drinking- LDB & The Big Green Numbers – Wisdom from poster Lobel’s Drinking Buddy. A post espousing that sentiment earned many +1’s, which on the Legacy Board, would have been inside a green icon.
10. Hooray For Hollywood – Acres of Pussy – A suggested band name, and a song about making it big in movies. Which could lead to the suggested band name, I suppose.
11. A Cap Is A Hat In Baseball, Not A Crutch For Pigskin Tycoons – Moby Dhale – Poster Great White Dhale was not much for putting up with any talk about the salary cap in football, for reasons blessedly lost.
12. Working Man – 2112 Overture – A Rush song about work, by a made-up tribute band.
13. Hovartis Done Got Samsonitis, So He Can’t Handle Bags No More – BA/BH – Samsonitis is an affliction that affects fake baggage handlers. And people misidentified as being John Dennis.
14. You Write For PFT? (You’re An Employee)
– Tha Notorious B.R.I. & The Tattletellers featuring Treach – Regular Brian was neenering Bruce over writing for Patriots Football Today. I know, I know; but it happened. Song modeled after ‘O.P.P.’ by Naughty By Nature, of which Treach is a member. You can hear the sampled piano part now, can’t you?Songs of Celebration and Songs of Summer’s Departure;
15. Fancy – Felgy Aveeno (With Iggy Bouzouki and Charli CHP) –the actual song, by Iggy Azalea w/Charli XCX, Fancy was the big hit of the summer in 2014. Here I have moisturizer addict Mike ‘Felgy Aveeno’ Felger singing lead. Iggy Bouzouki is a callback to Dale Arnold’s ‘Icky balookey’ exclaimation. And maybe it’s supposed to be Charlie CHB, not CHP.
16. The Boys of Summer –TC Royle – Not only a Don Henley solo hit, ‘the boys of summer’ can also refer to baseball players. Right, Truman C. Royle?
17. It’s Designed to Break Your Heart – Lady BoSox and the Little Green Monsters – A line from the (in)famous A. Bartlett Giamatti paean to baseball. Lady Gaga’s fans are ‘Little Monsters’ , Lady BoSox (Old Friend BoSox Lady, BKA ‘Cheri’) fans would therefore be Little Green Monsters. At the end of the Red Sox season, Cheri gets to make the Bart Giamatti post on SoSH. It’s one of the unwrittens those people have.
18. Stuck Truck Blues – Norton Adams & The State Collegians (Live) – It’s not the true end of summer until NASCL* posts about the first Ryder truck containing returning collegians getting wedged under a Storrow Drive overpass. (*- or another poster; we’re not weirdos about it like SoSHers)
19. Summertime Sadness –Shalise & The Side Hustle – Summer ending also means SMY has to go back to work covering football in earnest. Poo!
20. Now That You’re Gone – Yodelin’ Larry Lou and the Whisper Campaign – Larry Lucchino in that unconvincing country/western getup with (find name of country singer he’s pictured with at Fenway) had me re-imagining him as a singing cowboy.
21. Jimmy Buffet Song Supercut – Cheese Steak Incident – Were there a band called ‘Cheese Steak Incident’, I think they would be playing Key West, where town ordinances require Jimmy Buffet cover bands to perform 16 hours a day.
22. The Autumn Wind – O.co Coliseum Security Holding Area Impromptu Ensemble – Raider Fans spontaneously breaking into this NFL Films soundtrack staple while incarcerated at the stadium for assorted infractions? Why not? (The video of the performance would have been recorded in portrait mode.)
23. Wake Up – Brightly Painted Cows – Some weirdo used the baffling phrase ‘don’t paint your cows too brightly’, by way of reducing enthusiasm for the Patriots. It stayed with me.
24. There’s One Good Sunday For Apple Picking, And This One Just Ain’t It – The Postermen – A lovely sentiment!
25. You Got No Game – VALIS – Actual singer, made up song.
26. Rubber Room Man (Biding My Time) – Linkin Haus – This was during one of Bert Breer (AKA Lincoln House of Corrections) noticeable absences from the NFL Network. In the NYC Public Schools, teachers legally prevented from interactions with students but unable to be fired due to tenure are kept in ‘rubber rooms’. And Rubberband Man was a hit for The Spinners in 1976.
27. Proud Young Americans (DJ Speedy Tate remix) – MC Del Gansett – Speed Tate was Joe Gill’s nickname for erstwhile Pats WR Brandon Tate, Narragansett produces a Del’s Lemonade based-shandy for summertime consumption. And PYA needs no further introduction.
28. Theme from “A Summer Place” – Motorhead – A pleasant instrumental by Percy Faith & his Orchestra, perhaps less so once Lemmy & co. have a whack at it.
29. Get Back To Work –Tiger Mike (and No Band, I’ll Do It By Myself) – Board favorite Houston TX-based Tiger Oil owner Edward ‘Tiger’ Mike Davis, writer of numerous entertainingly tactless memos, would not need a band to tell you layabouts to get back to work.

White Man’s Guilt err World?
Anyone want two for Isbell?White Man’s Guilt err World?
Anyone want two for Isbell? Ted Nugent playing somewhere that night?My Isbell buddy is on vacation that week, I’m flying solo!
Man, these Petty playlists are pretty rigid. Same 18 songs, same order. Occasionally You Got Lucky sneaks in there to make it 19.
Double weed songs right off the bat at least.
At least last time around he mixed in Rebels.
The competent drum work of Don Brewer? Oh, man!-
