CHUG OVER IT CHUG OVER IT

"It's the politics of contraband/It's the Chuggler's Blues"

Perfection.

"What a neighbor
Thanks for the favor
She's a very chuggy girl"

the kind u don't bring home to mother

BTW, the "Standing On A Corner" in Winslow is just a facade - the building burned down several years ago. It's just a wall surrounded by Route 66 tourist junk.

You can chug out anytime you like
But you can never leave

xpost haha that's even weirder

"Chug All Night" would sound like great sludge as a 45 rpm slowed down to 33 1/3. Also, nice of them not to finish the song with a harmonica flourish at the very end.

As long as we're revisiting "Take It Easy", I'll say that for the past two days I've been thinking "It's a girl my lord and a fat Rob Ford slowing down to take a look at me."

someone get REALLY drunk and listen to chug all night and tell us how it sounds. for science. i ain't doing it.

Symbolic of The Eagles. Fake empty authenticism

i've been drinking a bit but not that much

Being a member of a particular secret mailing that was popular in the mid-90s is giving me spectacular laughs. Thank you all!

I'm drunk right now, but I'm listening to Duke Ellington. Turning him off to put on an Eagles song is a level of sacrilege I'm not prepared to experience and/or comprehend.

What a strange, strange, strange Google Street View capture.

You hear that? There's that bridge to "Witchay Woman" again.

"Most Of Us Are Sad"

Songwriters: FREY, GLENN LEWIS
Most of us are sad
No one lets it show
I've been shadows of myself
How was I to know?
Tell me scarlet sun
What will time allow?
We have brought our children
Here who can save them now?
Oh, weeping woman try to smile
Like the coming dawn
Most of us are sad it's true
Still we must go on
Love was here today
Oh the sun was bright
I will sing you faraway
Love is here tonight
Most of us are sad
No one lets it show
I've been shadows of myself
How was I to know?

"Randy Meisner appears on this album but was asked to leave the band shortly before the record was released. Meisner's exit was a result of his anger from being excluded (at Furay's insistence) from participation in the final mix playback sessions for the record, as only Messina and Furay were to complete the production. His image was removed from the painting on the album's cover, and replaced with the dog seen at the far left. His bass parts and backing vocals were left in the mix, but his lead vocals were removed, and new versions were sung by George Grantham."

intimations of randy meisner singing three dog night's "easy to be hard"

that guitar sure does sound pretty though.

Just for the record, I've seen the Eagles documentary, I know all the sordid detail; Randy Meisner didn't walk out on the band, he was driven away by toxicity and ominousity, hostility of those who shall not be named
Amazing musician, mad respect

i meant that in a good way! in an early morning reverie imagining golden smog covered "most of us are sad" too on their first EP

it could be a Low song.

how's his stuff after he left the eagles?

"In 1988, a man named Lewis Peter "Buddy" Morgan started impersonating Meisner. He had previously been charged with impersonating Don Henley in Las Vegas, but skipped on his bail. Morgan's identity was not conclusively revealed until 1997. In 1998, he was arrested and spent 16 months in jail, but upon his release continued his charade and was still doing so as of 2009. In Reno, Nevada, he tried to use Meisner's identity to rent hotel rooms. He was not as successful as before with the ruse, since area hotels had notified each other of the impostor. Some people are not familiar with Meisner's appearance, and Morgan used that fact to con musical instrument manufacturers and retailers, casino owners, and women."

i have never actually listened to randy's solo albums. i've seen them, but never played them. i'd probably like them.

this is a sleepy little number. harmless i guess. i like randy's voice. the lyrics are.....weird.

Hey, Zylon. GET OVER IT.

The eclecticism continues. I really like this, to my surprise - I'd never go for such a dirge normally. It struck me as quite hymnlike at first, though I hear the country now. It's quite protestant in its plainness. The instrumentation is refined and the harmonies are lovely, and it resists the temptation to big up too much - a lesser band would've choired it up or done something horrid. Instead this is nice.

Pickin Up the Pieces reminds me of

http://images.uulyrics.com/cover/t/the-byrds/album-the-notorious-byrd-brothers.jpg

(I know it's probably apocryphal, but that doesn't stop me.)

i love pickin' up the pieces. one of the great post-byrds albums. lots of people who love byrds have never heard it. its up there for me with byrds and the grape and the buffalo.

that's a horse

sure looks like david crosby to me.

In the doc Meisner looks 100 years older than his former bandmates.

I actually like this. It's pretty and... sad. Agree that the lyrics are weird probably because they are missing a line about sex and skin conditions, but even in their weirdness and clumsiness they are wistful in melancholy way.

That is OTM. I would probably listen to that a lot.

This is pretty, but the monotony of the vocal melody/phrasing doesn't work for me. I guess it is supposed to have a hymn-like quality, but it seems more like a nice country song gone wrong.

It's a chuggerly little song but I just like it rather than chug it.

reminds me a little of Big Star!

Ha, I was just thinking that! Kinda like "Try Again."

if it had more echo and sounded generally more fucked up it could be a sister lovers track.

I'm glad you two have the weekend to think about what you just said.

especially that guitar break at about 2:16 with the harmonies behind it.

ha! i know but its kinda true!

come on that guitar solo! its totes bigstarian.

Are we not doing songs on the weekends too? C'mon, we neeeeed sweet Eagles tunage on Saturday and Sunday

i'll do weekends. i'm at work on saturday so i always have time. and sunday i'm just sleepy and lazy in the morning so again plenty of time. it ain't brain surgery.

i swear if ivo had put this song on a this mortal coil album in the 80's the eagles would have more love from indie rockers.

If there were ever a perfect song to be sung by a ruthless drug kingpin in his private karaoke lair...
