i love how in your gold teeth 1&2 (esp 2) the music just unfurls away from the title line being sung in a way that basically sounds like watching gold teeth skitter cross a plush '70s carpet with a really garish pattern.

What *are* these venues? The Mountain Winery, Saratoga or Darling's Waterfront Pavilion, Bangor don't sound like it was a toss-up between them and Madison Square Garden or the Rose Bowl.― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, April 16, 2014 2:51 AM (6 hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

i have a very good memory of an aimless saturday evening last april where i had no plans and was trying to save $$ due to an upcoming vacation, and so i ended up going on a 7 or 8 mile solo beer crawl in a snowstorm, stopping for one cheap beer at every dive i passed, listening to this poll's spotify playlist on my headphones the whole time

That would be so awesome. Back in the free-for-all file sharing days I recall regularly coming across "Play That Funky Music White Boy" by, wait for it...... Funkadelic. Uh huh.
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 23 April 2015 18:36 (nine years ago) link
i almost feel like there's a thread where we listed some examples of artists covering songs many already assumed they sang - big examples are rod stewart's "ooh la la" and billy idol's "don't you forget about me"
― da croupier, Thursday, 23 April 2015 18:44 (nine years ago) link
Was wondering as I posted whether P-Funk ever did a version of "Play that funky music" -- my sense was that it was as unlikely as say Ishmael Reed writing an episode of Mork & Mindy, but maybe not quite as unlikely as that.

Kinda weird - several album openers missing from Spotify:
"Bodhisattva", Countdown to Ecstasy."Black Friday", "Bad Sneakers", Katy Lied."Kid Charlemagne", The Royal Scam.
Everything else looks in place - "Babylon Sisters", "Black Cow", "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" - just not those four?

Xpost: Walter did the Hey nineteen speech. There was a ton of banter and they introduced the 14 piece band multiple times. Musicians were excellent but somehow the whole did not equal the sum of its parts. With that said, Reelin I'm Th Years was fantastic. The extra long Aja was rough.
