Little Jackie – 28 Butts Third song is Tenacious D’s “Dude, I Totally Miss You” performed live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno – Thursday night’s show.  They’re hilarious.  And obviously they rock. Tenacious D – Dude, I Totally Miss You Fourth song is another track from The Knux.  It’s the “Cappuccino (Remix)” and, as you probably could have guessed- based on the fact that I’ve probably sent about 5 of their songs out on these emails-I love it and I love them… The Knux – Cappuccino (Remix) ]]> http://audioabsinthe.com/blog/2008/11/weekly-dose-112308/feed/ 0
