Happy birthday Moka!

It turns out that while everyone here was busy practicing for Global Orgasm Day it was actually Moka’s 21st birthday last Wednesday! Boy do we feel exhausted, but boy do we also feel bummed out about missing that special day!
So let’s celebrate today with some tunes about being 21, birthdays and party girls.
The Adverts - No Time to be 21
(Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts, 1978)
Andrew Bird - The Happy Birthday Song
(The Mysterious Production of Eggs, 2005)
Jens Lekman - Happy Birthday, Dear Friend Lisa
(When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog, 2004)
Diskettes - Party Girl
(Diskettes, 2003)
Otis Redding - The Happy Song (Dum-Dum)
(The Very Best Of, 1992)
Manitoba - Every Time She Turns Round It’s Her Birthday
(Up In Flames, 2003)
As little as we can grasp from Kurt Wagner’s lyrics in the following song, to me it still remains to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written about a woman or just women in general. With Moka turning 21 and officially into a woman (or at least so in some parts of the world) I thought it would be a good moment to close with this song:
Lambchop - Is A Woman
(Is A Woman, 2002)

Moka: Beautiful site by a beautiful, joyfilled person who loves both the spiritual and the life of the body. Music meets in the middle of the two, and is the way.
I wrote the following wacky birthday message to my friends. I was born on New Year’s Day, and I thank you for the gift of the phrase “Global Orgasm Day”, even if you were just the beautiful messenger.
I’m a Crapricorn, which is the foist sign of the Zoodiac. I was born
on January 1st. I have parades, celebrations and merry making on my
birthday. Pigskin is thrown and kept, batons are twirled and
champaigne bubbles rise to the occasion. Others take the moment at
other times, but I am celebrated in high places, and remembered in
ways that are too numerous to mention or even remember. I am the way
of the arrow, the arrow of time. As gravity pulls us down, time takes
us forward. Or onward. Or inward. And older. We become who we came
from, and assume the position of age. Yearly.
I represent both the old and the new. The old goes out, and the new
comes in. The moment that this happens is both the end of the day
which is night, and the beginning of the day, which is night. I
represent both darkness and light, since when I am born, the darkness
is beginning to be overcome by the light, thus, the new rewards the
old, and another is begun.
I am 60 this New Year’s Day, and I send my older love to you from afar. You are a muse to me, and I trust you will continue to be. I will appreciate you with gifts of $ later, since your friends in far places came to your rescue so quickly the first time. But don’t be fearful to offer a place for donations. The Church is not above offerings, and they have more resources than you!
Happy 21 Birthday, Moka. You are now more beautiful than ever before, and you will be more beautiful in years to come. Enjoy them, as we enjoy you!
