Our house, in the middle of the street
Posted by ToddWell, I’ve finally moved into my house. It’s been quite the ordeal: the cable guy accidentally drilled a hole in my brand new kitchen floor, a door had to be removed to fit in some new appliances, and I have a metric ton of cardboard boxes left to dispose of. But at least the hard work is behind me now. And, to celebrate, I’m playing the obligatory non-ska hit “Our House” by the British ska band Madness. This song has held up surprisingly well over time, sounding more like Dexy’s Midnight Runners than any of their other not-as-successful ’80s ska singles. And the video, of course, is priceless. A small part of me still likes to believe that this video accurately reflects the lifestyles of men in Great Britain: cheeky, tweedy, and slightly effeminate.

What a coincidence! It’s official St. Louis Music Bloggers Moving Weekend! I think Mayor Slay needs to make this an official city holiday.
