Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em

We might as well rock out to some smoke-related tunes when we’re not outside in the haze.

Our smoky playlist includes:

This Fire – Franz Ferdinand

Smoke on the Water – Deep Purple (live)

Smoke baby – Hawksley Workman

Purple Haze – Jimi Hendrix

Dust in the Wind – Kansas

Smokin’ – Boston

Ring of Fire – Johnny Cash

Smoke gets in your eyes – The Platters

Marijuana – Reverend Horton Heat (Hey, there are a lot of “smoke” and 420 jokes flying.)

Cinder and Smoke – Iron & Wine (via hi54lofi)

B.C. is on Fire – The Pack A.D. (So obvious I didn’t think of it for hours.)

Burning down the house – Talking Heads (though I didn’t link to their version)

We didn’t start the fire – Billy Joel (Clearly we’re blaming B.C for this one.)

Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em – Fun Lovin’ Criminals

The Motor City is Burnin’ – John Lee Hooker (I linked to MC5′s version.)

I Smell Smoke – Johnny Winter

I went all bluesy at the end there.

More today:

Disco Inferno – The Trammps (Burn, baby, burn)

That made me think of The Roof is on Fire by The Bloodhound Gang (NSFW)

Paris is Burning – Ladyhawke, Peaches remix (There’s also the St. Vincent song called Paris is Burning.)

Ashes to Ashes – David Bowie

Smoke Rings – Django Reinhardt

Here’s one way to track the smoke: It’s a smoke radar.

And on the health side of things, you can always keep track of air quality through Alberta Health Services.
