Xander ,'First Date'
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.
I have one friend who likes it and one who wasn't impressed after her first listen. What do you think of it?
Tina, I like it a lot, but it took multiple listens. Tweedy is stretching out the skronk, but I think he's reaching deeper for lyrics these days.
I haven't heard either "Toxic" or the milkshake song, AFAIK. Perfectly happy about that fact, too.
I can put them up for you, if you want.... t /pimp
t Slowly backs away from SA, looks for escape route...
Ignorance is bliss sometimes.
Sekrit message for SA: I can do the same. I think we should make it a game at the F2F.
I've had a Todd Rundgren song stuck in my head since 8 this morning.

How about a nice song that you might hear, oh, say, on a ride at Disney World?

Yeah, but who knows the words to Michael Jackson's Captain EO song anyway?
Weren't they something like "EO! Woooooo! A-ow!"
('Cause that's what I now have stuck in my head. Which is, indeed, a fate worse than a stubbed toe.)
I just listened to a really fun segment on "The Next Big Thing":
Texas-based band Brave Combo plays an eclectic blend that’s part polka, part punk, part habanera and much more. Here, cooking show meets performance chat when Brave Combo band leader Carl Finch shows host Dean Olsher how the band mixes all these ingredients together.
Do you know these guys, hayden? "Know of them," I mean. Not that I expect you to know every band, but you are our man on the ground. (Note: the stream was pretty bad when I listened, but the music was a blast.)
I love Skynyrd. Ronnie VanZant was a huge loss. Gold and Platinum, a retrospective compiled by Gary Rossington and Allen Collins (two of the three guitars going at it on "Free Bird") after the plane crash that killed VanZant, guitarist Steve Gaines & his sister, backing vocalist Cassie, seems to be out of print, but this is a good intro if you aren't familiar with them. Cheap, good selection, not comprehensive but a good place to see if you like them. For some reason I find myself singing "Gimme Three Steps" just about every time I go running. Wonderful song.
Pink Floyd was about as hard to miss where/when I grew up as Skynyrd, Zep IV & Who's Next. But I was still surprised, stunned even, the first time I saw Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami's Through the Olive Trees, and after thinking "what IS that?" for most of the credits, realizing that it was "Time" from Dark Side of the Moon. (Click on the second link to get some sense of how out of place -- not wrong, just surprising -- that it seemed.)

We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alii-iiive...
Okay, maybe that's not the one. Good song, though.
Do you know these guys, hayden? "Know of them," I mean.
Sure. They're not my cup o' tea, but I know some people who love the hell out of them.
