Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here are Yello (Dieter Meier & Boris Blank) performing Desire, from their Stella album (1985, 4:20, play it loud). It occurs to me that this may not be considered safe for work in some contexts (though I do think it is tasteful), viewer discretion is advised.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here is Louis Armstrong singing Dixie Music Man (1947, 3:29). The last four seconds of this video are interesting too, in a meta-musical sense.
Shortly before his death, Satchmo said, “I think I had a beautiful life. I didn’t wish for anything that I couldn’t get and I got pretty near everything I wanted because I worked for it”. We’ll be visiting Mr. Armstrong’s great works again here at SDA LNR, as we have before; he is surely an artist to be celebrated.

Jenny was sweet,
She always smiled for the people she meet.
On trouble and strife:
She had another way of looking at life.The news is blue (the news is blue),
Has its own way of getting to you.
What can I do (what can I do),
When I remember my time with you?Pick up your feet,
Got to move to the trick of the beat.
There is no elite,
Just take your place in the driver’s seat.

Thanks to Vitruvius for doing such an admirable job with Reader Tips while I was away. If you’d like him to continue, cast a vote in the comments. It doesn’t mean I won’t throw in my own linkfests, but the late nite radio schtick seems to be popular enough to merit its own category. Let me know what you think.
And my thanks, as always, to the rest of the guest blogging contingent. SDA is a 7 day a week endeavor, so the breaks I get serve as innoculation against burnout. The guest bloggers make it possible. The only alternative is shutting down the place while I’m gone and while that wouldn’t be the end of the world, it’s not my preferred option.
