Discussion Threads

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love "Destroyer", as the AOR station I listened to in the early '80s played it a lot.

I like how they ripped off their own riff in "All Day and All of the Night" for "Destroyer." And it also mentions "a girl called Lola."

Give me a mo and I'll upload those two tracks. (My only version of "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" is the live one from One For the Road. Do you want that version?)

Also just ran across this video: Cheap Trick Mariachi Mash Up - "Surrender" (Long Version)

eta: This version is pretty awesome, and the video is fun.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do you want that version?

Yup!

OK, "(Wish I Could Fly Like) Superman" is posted. I'm sorry, but my version of "Destroyer" is an older iTunes download that has DRM, so you can't use that one. When I get home I'll see if I can find a blank CD to burn it to and then rip to .mp3. (I've got a ton of blank CDs... somewhere.)

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Man, those Kinks albums from the 60s are great. I'd go all the way to Muswell Hillbillies and quit after that. Arthur and TKATVGPS are my favorites, though.

What are the most fun Kinks songs to play live, Hayden?

On bass, it's either "Victoria" or "Do You Remember Walter?" 'cause both have excellent rip-roaring basslines. On guitar, I've thrown "Big Sky," "Picture Book," and "Animal Farm" into the mix, but all of those are mostly about the singing.

Speaking of covering the Kinks, my all-time fav Kinks cover is "Days" by Kirsty MacColl. Though "Stop My Sobbing" by Ray's ex-gf is pretty awesome too. I also dig the hard drum assault of the Romantics on "She's Got Everything." Does everybody realize that the drummer on the Romantics sang lead on "What I Like About You"? Weird, huh? Big hulking dude, too. Rest of the guys were tiny. I think I saw them live about four times.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Day off before the last of 7 My Chem shows.

Just FYI: If you ever have the chance to see them play in Jersey DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTT.

But only if you like 2 hour sets. And Sorrows.
