He's singing it to you ne

By the time I got in there. It had switched to John Hiatt doing a song.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

26.33 Bad Girls - Donna Summer (1979)

Noticed the estrogen was running a little low on my island. This will....spike it.

"Hot Stuff"

"Dim All The Lights"

"Hot Stuff"

"Dim All The Lights"

I was thinking about taking this, and I would have chosen the exact same songs. 

 

[northern exposure]

We ate Outback takeout a couple weeks ago down here in OC MD.

Did you have a blooming onion?

 

[El Floppo]

Who, Mac?

We go way back. Okay, we don't. But we should. Love me some Superchunk. 

didmt know him at all. i think i saw him play eith fellow schoolmate Laura Cantrell, who i had a huge crush on for always wearimg a motorhed tshirt when she played. Or just once. Either way...loved the folky harmonies with the t-shirt .

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Did you get steak, and if so, was it warm when you got it home?

Outback has a very loose definition of "steak"

 

[El Floppo]

Did you have a blooming onion?

Of course. Pretty sure that's all they've got 

 

[Uruk-Hai]

27.08 Highwomen - The Highwomen (2019)

Brandi Carlisle and her buddies

"The Highwomen"

"Wheels Of Laredo"

 

[simey]

Outback has a very loose definition of "steak"

What does that mean? I've never eaten there before. 

 

[rockaction]

By the time I got in there. It had switched to John Hiatt doing a song.

Just think! He's singing it to you.

 

[Eephus]

The graduating class is only up the L's.  The ceremony is like a Jethro Tull record with less flute.

 

[El Floppo]

Did you get steak, and if so, was it warm when you got it home?

We don't eat red meat, so no.

It was open, so we got it. I think we got salads and shrimp of some kind. We may have even fed the kids too.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

What does that mean? I've never eaten there before. 

you know those big hunks of tough meat in the grocery store that's called "sirloin" - the stuff they serve wishes it was related to those cuts of meat.

ETA:  they have enough tenderizer on them that they're not horrible, it's just a very cheap cut of meat - and they butcher it to be "reminiscent" of a filet

I sat out back and read this afternoon

Were you reading about the unpopulated, desert like parts of Australia?

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I sat out back and read this afternoon

Were you reading about the unpopulated, desert like parts of Australia?

it was "Rock T-Shirt Monthly" ...more like a fanzine.

 

[simey]

We don't eat red meat, so no.

I eat red meat, but not a lot of it. If I become a vegetarian (never vegan) or pescatarian like my oldest nephew, the thing I would miss most would be a good steak now and then.

 

[Mister CIA]

How about we top off the draft with a couple of stowaways - players, singers, bands who couldn't quite put together a stellar album, but still had their moments.

 

[rockaction]

Announce: I'm going to be taking some records I've taken in drafts past. Nothing I've done to death, but two from the aughts and teens draft. Loving one of them too much to leave it off. 

 

[Eephus]

Were you reading about the unpopulated, desert like parts of Australia?

I was reading an Australian novel when quarantine happened but I was having trouble focusing on anything so I moved to more page-turning fare.

 

[Northern Voice]

Thunder Road is such a jam. Who got this beauty on their island?

 

[Uruk-Hai]

I was thinking about taking this, and I would have chosen the exact same songs. 

It's a good album, and a doubler too! My least favorite track is the title song - don't know why, it just never caught on with me.

 

[Eephus]

lick wilmerdimg?

California High in San Ramon.

 

[Northern Voice]

Announce: I'm going to be taking some records I've taken in drafts past. Nothing I've done to death, but two from the aughts and teens draft. Loving one of them too much to leave it off. 

Stay at least 40 rounds imo GB

 

[Eephus]

Thunder Road is such a jam. Who got this beauty on their island?

Well the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
on the island

 

[simey]

It's a good album, and a doubler too! My least favorite track is the title song - don't know why, it just never caught on with me.

Same here. I don't know if it is the toot toot ah beep beep, but I've never cared much for it. She made some $ on that album since she wrote or co-wrote many of the songs. Dim all the Lights was all hers. Hot Stuff is my favorite. 

 

[northern exposure]

Just think! He's singing it to you.

Don't be jealous. He's singing it to you too.

 

[Uruk-Hai]

She really got screwed by the "Disco Queen" label, as she put out some really good stuff in the early '80s after disco crashed - but no one would touch her music then.

Summer was more of a rock singer, anyway. Hell, "Hot Stuff" is the blueprint for Pat Benetar's entire career,

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

No booze shenanigans here, but asking for a friend- how long would you trust a vape cartridge before tossing it? 

 

Google is your buddy.

 

[Ilov80s]

26.33 Bad Girls - Donna Summer (1979)

Noticed the estrogen was running a little low on my island. This will....spike it.

"Hot Stuff"

"Dim All The Lights"

nice, was on my radar for a last pick

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

Thunder Road is such a jam. Who got this beauty on their island?

I feel like I dig bands inspired by Bruce more than Bruce himself but this song is unimpeachable 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner by Warren Zylan: The person that drafted this did real well for themselves, I would be so sad if I knew I would never hear this album again

Joan Crawford by Blue Oyster Cult: New to me and I kind of like Joan so this could be interesting. Please listen to this piece of the song from the middle and make sense of it!!

Making sense of BÖC was not the brief here.  And, yes, snagging Excitable Boy in round three was a boost for my island home.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I can't let another Concrete Blonde pick go by without posting Johnette Napolitano falling off the stage.

So without further ado, I'm proud to present Johnette Napolitano falling off the stage.

Is there some reason for that crotch to be where it is?  How much ball room does she need?

 

[PIK95]

How about we top off the draft with a couple of stowaways - players, singers, bands who couldn't quite put together a stellar album, but still had their moments.

I was just thinking this a little while ago if I understand you right.  I was more thinking about greats, who had one hit song per record.  Like a one round of great song for the playlist.

 

[Eephus]

Is there some reason for that crotch to be where it is?  How much ball room does he need?

She's a woman wearing a skirt

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

I thought some of y’all were already doing that. 

 

[Eephus]

I feel like I dig bands inspired by Bruce more than Bruce himself but this song is unimpeachable 

His Western Skies movie came on late night cable last week.  Made it through about ten minutes before drifting off 

The album wasn't bad at all and Moonlight Motel would make the countdown if I did rankings.

 

[Ilov80s]

'bout to dip into a skip

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Round 26  -  Elton John  -  Blue Moves (1976)

Crazy Water

Sholder Holster  

Another double album- score!  For some reason, I like this better than any other of his albums.  It really doesn't sound anything like them to me.  (Not a burn.)

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

She's a woman wearing a skirt

The head in front made it look like Hammer Pants to me.  Time for another drink, obviously.

Also, time to trim my finger nails.

 

[simey]

For some reason, whenever I'm ITC, I expect what happened to  Dr. Manhattan is going to happen to me.

26.27: Son of a Son of a Sailor - Jimmy Buffett (1978)

Except for the lack of money, one of my favorite eras was when I was in college and working at a place called the Terrapin Taco House (any U of Md. alums circa 1970-2000 may remember the place).  The last few years I worked there, 2 former employees bought the place from the original owner, and one of them was a huge Buffett fan. There was hardly a time when some song or other of his wasn't playing in the background.  I never really enjoyed Margaritaville, but I did like some of the songs that didn't get on the radio, including the two for the playlist: Livingston Saturday Night and Cowboy in the Jungle.

I've liked his early stuff since I was little. Our neighbor, Connie, used to play him all the time. When I was old enough, I bought my own albums that I heard her play, and then I'd buy more that I heard on my own. The last album I bought by him was in 1981. I can't speak for his years after that, but he wrote some good songs in his early years.

You or her? I think she's cashed in those chips.

Blue Moves, Binky, not Blue Sky.

Looks like Abrantes had a time-out skip earlier, and has been ITC so long I'm worried for his health.  Should we move on?

Buffett has a new album out today called Life on the Flip Side.  I'll let you two scout it out but if there's a banger, please let me know.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Move on.  He said he's studying for a test tomorrow morning or somesuch.

 

[simey]

He was on skip earlier cause he was studying for something. This was earlier so I don't know if that changed or not.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

@simey Sent you a PM.

 

[krista4]

OK, thanks.  Let's put @mphtrilogy ITC and see what happens.

 

[Abrantes]

He was on skip earlier cause he was studying for something. This was earlier so I don't know if that changed or not.

Yeeeeeeeeeep. 'Bout to crash, but prepping to interpret a mock lecture on international relations for class tomorrow. Y'all can keep on skipping me 'til I check back (likely 'round 2, 3PM tomorrow)!
