Jukebox'..

are the Jam. While I enjoy the new technology out there that allows you to more or less play any song you want, depending on how much you are willing to pay, the best is when you go to a place and see the pre-screened selection available. PJ's had Billy Breathes, and I think Slip, Stitch and Pass.

Down(out) here in the SF, the jukebox selection has been pretty tasty. The Dogpatch Saloon, (less than 4 blocks from my house) has hands down the best music selection I've seen. Basically old blues and jazz albums by the greats, enough said.

Kilowatt was eclectic, heavier stuff than my usually likings, but they had Return to Cookie Mountain, so thumbs up.

Homestead had a similar selection to Kilowatt's but some 80's/Classic Rock thrown in.

The Inner Mission Bar's was sweet, having an ample selection of Prince, and The Moon and Antarctica. I'm ready to go back, spend 3 bucks, and listen to it in its entirety, just to make sure every patron at the bar hears it for what it is.

Funny anecdote from last night was Dave Scott telling me how he'd go into PJ's, pick the most offensive song off The Downward Spiral, throw in a 5 and then bounce. Shindog loved Thunder Road.
