Man, I love the jukebox at my neighborhood watering hole, T-Ruggs. Well, one of my neighborhood watering holes. When you live as close to downtown Burlington as I do, you become pretty intimate with most of the Queen City’s booze rooms.
Anyway, T-Ruggs has this hi-tech, super-slick touchscreen jukebox that’s the envy of every other bar in town. Or in-state, for that matter. Sure, the selection is a little lacking, but the thing sounds AWESOME! Now I want one in my apartment, but with some Kinks, Blue Oyster Cult (1st three albums, of course) and Debussy on there.
So T-Ruggs was definitely the place to be for at least a half-hour last night. I rocked some Steely Dan, Thin Lizzy, Guns n-f!@#$’n Roses, Mars Volta, and even a little Mazzy Star. You need something soothing to come down from such dizzying rock ‘n’ roll heights.
Oh, and apparently I told a percussionist/pool shark friend of mine that if I had a kit, I’d be better than the drummer for The Mars Volta in 5 months. Must’ve been the Bud Lite talkin.’
Got something to say?

I was amazed to discover recently that the jukeboxes at Sneaker’s work. So cool.
Secret Treaties, baby! “I’m makin’ a career of evil!”
The jukebox at the old northender is even better. bigger song selection, plus for the cost of an extra play you can download any song you want. Add $2 bud drafts into the mix and you just can’t lose…
