[KarmaPolice]

Interesting, I've watched and like Buffy but don't remember it.

In the episode Band Candy when Giles and Buffy's mom hang out and listen to records.   

This is this #### I remember, but had 0 recollection of what my son asked me to get at the grocery store 30mins later today.  

 

[Northern Voice]

Simon & Garfunkel - The Concert In Central Park (1982)

So this is still available? I'll pick some tunes that aren't on the playlist yet.

Homeward Bound

Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard

I am 90% sure this was taken because I had it pretty high and crossed it off.

It looks like it was taken at 4.12 but credited to Paul Simon only? I wasn't born yet, so I don't remember if it was one or both of them

 

[Mister CIA]

God I hate Facebook.

One of the best decisions I've made in the last couple weeks has been deleting this #### off my phone.    Just couldn't do it anymore.  

Of course now I just have my wife asking me about stuff and getting crabby that I don't see posts and keep up with stuff, but a small price to pay overall.  

I've not used Facebook in the last two years, give or take.  I'd delete my account altogether, but it might be handy for sharing condolences when a farticulate family member dies.

 

[krista4]

Dudes!?!?!  I am home from dinner drunk, and the first post I see is Mister CIA catching up five pages ago and the spreadsheet hasn't been updated for that?  OK, I am going to drunkenly update the spreadsheet.  I MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR ANY ERROS.*

*ERRORS.

I did a page but it's a middle one, you'll know when you hit it I guess

Yeah, I still have messenger b/c I need it for work.  I told a couple people just to contact me through that, but besides that - #### it.  

I did learn how much I went to it to browse this week though and that was eye opening.  I didn't think I was on it much, but I found myself swiping over to that page on my phone several times.  

 

[landrys hat]

41.26 Courtney Barnett - The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas (2013)

Avant Gardener

History Eraser

 

[krista4]

is it ok that I laugh emojied that?

**ALLERT** 

jesus and marychain putting me back on track.

Definitely OK.  By the way, I'm just entering picks and realized some of them were there, but a whole bunch of Mister CIA's page 292 were missing.  It's a Mister CIA C-O-N-spiracy.

Also I've had 1+ bottles of wine.  Hi.

 

[Northern Voice]

Material Girl - Madonna - I assume we aren't tacking on greatest hits rounds, so I'll say now that The Immaculate Collection is what I would have taken #1 to supplement my island. Listened to it as an album countless times.

So. Central Rain - R.E.M. - #### I love This. I'M SORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY

 

[KarmaPolice]

GRIMES - WORLD PRINCESS PART II     the gin is flowing, so of course this is 100% what I want to hear.  I assume a Tasker pick??

DINOSAUR JR - LITTLE FURRY THINGS    Probably blasphemy, but I prefer later stage Dino, so I like most of the song, but the intro make the nuts scrunch up a bit.  

STEVE MILLER BAND - SPACE COWBOY   this is a song

EAGLES OF DEATH METAL - I WANT YOU SO HARD    love QotSA, but this side project (is this accurate?) never really clicked with me.  this would be another 50/50 for me. 

SOUNDGARDEN - LOUD LOVE    Love it, and forgot it was drafted.  I haven't listened to this album for years, but new this song in about 2 secs and was excited for what was coming up. 

 

[Mister CIA]

Definitely OK.  By the way, I'm just entering picks and realized some of them were there, but a whole bunch of Mister CIA's page 292 were missing.  It's a Mister CIA C-O-N-spiracy.

Also I've had 1+ bottles of wine.  Hi.

So you're your huckleberry? 

Let me know if I can help you with my picks ... tomorrow.

 

[Northern Voice]

GRIMES - WORLD PRINCESS PART II     the gin is flowing, so of course this is 100% what I want to hear.  I assume a Tasker pick??

Also the new baby's name had X Æ A-Xii not worked out.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Not sure who drafted some, but there is 0 Judas Priest on the playlist, and I am pretty sure that is not accurate.   I THINK 2 albums have been drafted?  one by @Raging weasel

 

[Steve Tasker]

Primus - Tommy the Cat - music's fine, vocals

David Gilmour - Fat Old Sun - great guitar work, as always

Bruce Springsteen - Reason to Believe - it's fine.  I don't love the boss.

Neil Young - Ohio - finally, I get to rip on Kent State.  I've been waiting on this for years.  Look, like we say in the MAC....Kent read, Kent write, Kent State.  Back in the day when I worked for my university's football team, we barely won any games.  We beat Temple in overtime and got laughed at on PTI for storming the field.  We were 0-20ish against good teams.  But you know what?  We were undefeated against Kent State.  A couple years ago, Kent State basketball filmed a trash talk instagram video at Alumni Arena, and then got obliterated.  I'll give em this, this double OT thriller was one of the best games from this college basketball season.  God I miss sports.

 

[krista4]

40.25  Nick Lowe - Jesus of Cool (1978)

Yes, his US label made him change the name  .  It doesn't include his huge hit but it's a great pop album from start to finish.  

I Love The Sound of Breaking Glass

So It Goes

Nick Lowe <> Nick Love

FIXED!

I'm drunkenly fixing stuff but possible also messing other things up.  Sorry.

 

[Northern Voice]

The mix wants me to head bang now. Pantera followed by Slip Slide Lisa from The Crow soundtrack.

 

[Steve Tasker]

GRIMES - WORLD PRINCESS PART II     the gin is flowing, so of course this is 100% what I want to hear.  I assume a Tasker pick??

1000000000000000%

 

[KarmaPolice]

Also the new baby's name had X Æ A-Xii not worked out.

Uh, what's this now?

 

[krista4]

Simon & Garfunkel - The Concert In Central Park (1982)

So this is still available? I'll pick some tunes that aren't on the playlist yet.

Homeward Bound

Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard

Juuuuuuuust catching up, but someone pointed out this was taken in Round 4, right?  Right?

 

[Northern Voice]

Also the new baby's name had X Æ A-Xii not worked out.

Uh, what's this now?

The name of Grimes and Elon Musk's child, which depending on whether you ask him or her, may or may not have a gender assigned to them yet.

 

[Northern Voice]

Simon & Garfunkel - The Concert In Central Park (1982)

So this is still available? I'll pick some tunes that aren't on the playlist yet.

Homeward Bound

Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard

Juuuuuuuust catching up, but someone pointed out this was taken in Round 4, right?  Right?

Eventually.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Primus - Tommy the Cat - music's fine, vocals

Good Luck Charlie??

 

[KarmaPolice]

The name of Grimes and Elon Musk's child, which depending on whether you ask him or her, may or may not have a gender assigned to them yet.

I really have my head up my ###. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Another Fine Day - Golden Smog  - I have one song by them in my regular rotation, I like it, liked this, haven't gone farther.

Jizzy Jazz - Bill Evans Trio - I'm not in an elevator or cruise ship cocktail bar, next...

 

[Ilov80s]

Juuuuuuuust catching up, but someone pointed out this was taken in Round 4, right?  Right?

I was going to say something but nobody else did so I assumed it was some other live Paul Simon I had heard. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

Google search reveals - I am old.  0 clue what Grimes looked like or that she was banging Elon Musk.  (or more accurately - forgot due to too much Buffy and movie triva jammed in my head).  

 

[Mister CIA]

Joe Ely, looking good at 71

And this is a great story:  https://www.austinchronicle.com/music/2000-05-19/77249/

 

[Northern Voice]

So I've become friends with a guy who owns a local craft brewery here in town. During the pandemic I've gone out of my way to support them, times being as they are. They make a variety of beers that would all be described as "good" in styles that are "okay" but not exciting (american pale ale, witbier, red ale, golden ale, saison, white IPA).

About a year ago they put out a "Hazy IPA", like every other brewery in the world, and it was also "good". Then a couple months back, he told me they tweaked the recipe and asked me to try it. Holy #### is the new version good. Like contend with top American NEIPA's good. This weekend they launched an "all ontario light lager'. So hops, malt, etc... all from Ontario but it's a 4% Czech inspired pale lager so who really cares right (#craftbeernerd)? Except it's really really good too.

My friend isn't the brewer himself but he absolutely knows good beer and he is the president/co-owner and I am super excited for him, if they can keep this momentum up.

Drinking their latest one off tonight, a single hop Hallertauer Blanc IPA.  It decidedly... DOES NOT WORK.

 

[krista4]

Are you kidding me?  This would have been my pick if we were doing classical.  My favorite recording is the Telarc recording by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra with Yoel Levi.

I'd be picking Great Gate of Kiev and The Hut on Fowl's Legs.  (In the other order.)

The recording quality of Telarc is a premium here.

I love that you love this so much, too.

 

[Northern Voice]

It's Alright (Baby's Coming Back) - Eurythmics - Love them, need to listen to them way more.

Shelter Song - Temples - I like this a lot. Have listened before. This particular song feels like Tame Impala doing the Beatles, turned up to 17.

 

[zamboni]

I was going to say something but nobody else did so I assumed it was some other live Paul Simon I had heard. 

Don’t recall which one was taken in Round 4, but there were two Central Park concerts: S&G in 1982 and Simon solo in 1991 (I was at this one).

 

[Ilov80s]

Joe Ely, looking good at 71

Old school math teacher I taught with when I first started was named Joe Ely. Last guy left in the State of Michigan who still used a chalkboard from what I can tell. 

 

[krista4]

Digging a little deeper into the CD pile and pulling this one out.  Only 2 albums of theirs on Spotify, but the debuts is currently, as NT so delicately puts it, rocking my taint so we will go with it:

41.01:  BUDGIE - BUDGIE (1971)

Guts

Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman

If my poor memory serves me correctly, @krista4 - this also gets the Mr. Krista seal of approval?

I just asked him:

"Budgie?  I love Budgie"  [tells him the songs]  "Nude Disintegrating Parachutist Woman?  That song is dope!  That is such a badass riff, it's incredible.  Here I'm just gonna play it for you.  It's so rockin'."  [plays]  "They''re like the English MC5, without the politics or whatever."  [much head-banging ensues]

 

[krista4]

@KarmaPolice now he's asking, since you like Budgie, if you like The Groundhogs?

 

[KarmaPolice]

@KarmaPolice now he's asking, since you like Budgie, if you like The Groundhogs?

 

@krista4 - look at my Round 40 pick.  

 

[Northern Voice]

MY NAME IS JONAS

 

[KarmaPolice]

My mix is all over the place, but what I did comment on is too true and needs to be addressed - I listen to a lot more 70s than my current list indicates.   I started off strong with 4 of 5 of the first albums from the decade, but then nothing after that.   It's been pretty picked over, but some damn good music left for the taking.  I started digging through the CD collection in the car (yeah, I know...) to jog my memory of stuff I listen to a bunch in there.   And one that jumped out was...

40.xx:  GROUNDHOGS - THANK CHRIST FOR THE BOMB (1970)

Strange Town

Garden

 

@krista4 - look at my Round 40 pick.  

 

[KarmaPolice]

The next block of 5 included 2 of my favorite Foo Fighters songs, so that was nice.  

 

[krista4]

41.06 The Art of Fugue, Johann Sebastian Bach, performed by the Academy of St Martin in the Fields (1974)

The quantum theory upon which everything since is based. If Pythagoras, the first man to postulate that music is the math of consciousness, had heard the perpetual engine that is the musical fugue, his head would have exploded. As a descendant in thought, i see more in it than any other thing.

JSBach wanted to conquer the sound of life for the greater glory of God, so he collected and catalogued every fractal of tone he could produce. Like the greats in any field of study, he could see it in 3D, observe it from all angles, the all of the parts as well as the parts of the all. And he found a basis for it to run as of itself a thing, powered not by a running stream or spun wheel, but by the essence of the human spirit. In conquering the orders of sound for God's glory, he captured them so we might each feel that glory for ourselves. Praise be.

Such a beautiful, perfect encapsulation.  And this won't be the last of Academy of St. Martin in the Fields we'll see, since they're my favorite performers of this music.  I'm taking more Bach in the future, unless you beat me to it.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Oh boy - some Queensryche !!! 

 

[Ilov80s]

Oh boy - some Queensryche !!! 

Haven’t heard that name in a long long time. Like Last Action Hero long time.

 

[Northern Voice]

How do we feel about having two versions of the same song on the playlist (different artists...)

 

[Mister CIA]

Let's end tonight on a note of appreciation for Joe Ely's great contribution to the music body.

I claimed earlier that he recorded one of the greatest country music albums of all time.  I'll back it up.

40.04 - Honkey Tonk Masquerade, 1978

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Tonight I Think I'm Gonna Go Downtown

Bonus Track: Boxcars

 

[krista4]

Not sure who drafted some, but there is 0 Judas Priest on the playlist, and I am pretty sure that is not accurate.   I THINK 2 albums have been drafted?  one by @Raging weasel

So enter that ####, dude.

Or not, no pressure.

 

[krista4]

Don’t recall which one was taken in Round 4, but there were two Central Park concerts: S&G in 1982 and Simon solo in 1991 (I was at this one).

They were both listed as the 1982 one.

 

[zamboni]

The next block of 5 included 2 of my favorite Foo Fighters songs, so that was nice.  

Not sure why the FF have never covered Kung Fu Fighting.

 

[krista4]

 

@krista4 - look at my Round 40 pick.  

Nice!!!

 

[KarmaPolice]

So enter that ####, dude.

1.  that would require me to open the spreadsheet which I always seem to #### up.

2.  I am drunk and lazy and ####.  

 

[krista4]

How do we feel about having two versions of the same song on the playlist (different artists...)

I AM OK WITH IT AND NOT JUST BECAUSE I DID IT.

OK MAYBE JUST BECAUSE I DID IT.
