If all goes according to plan, the reconstituted Man Bites Dog will perform the above at the office Christmas party this afternoon, with yours truly as lead singer. We were working on Bach’s “Ich habe genug” but just couldn’t get it ready on time.

Getting in the car right now to drive down to the OC to crash this private show — hoping for healthy doses of ska (maybe even a prayer for some Oingo Boingo) to go with The Clash. If I don’t make it in time, can you post the setlist?
I made no claim that the show would be any good. It’s raining, too. Better stay put.
I seriously (seriously) doubt we’ll get to all this stuff, but here’s the set list. I’m playing t-bone on a number of these selections, if my lip holds out.

Wow! Great set. I so wish I could be there. I’m sure it was a smashing success!
You know, Tim, I’m just realizing that there is more than just a passing resemblance between you and Mick Jones. Extended family, perhaps . . .
Same stock, no doubt.
Our bandleader said that “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” “totally rocked” on Friday so I can die a happy man.
