DI Jukebox Draft (66-15)- Listen up (2 Viewers)

6th round picks

Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy - 1975 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8kAU3B9Pi_U#action=share
I was just singing this song yesterday!!
A 6-7 year old Limp loved this song and I doubt there has been a song that I've played, on an actual jukebox, more often

Great steakhouse in the neighborhood that I grew up in and we probably ate there two or three times a month. This was on their juke and I played it every time we walked in there.

 
We'll see how the snake draft goes tomorrow. If there are lots of skips piling up, we'll move to 2 picks/day starting on Wednesday.
i like this.
I would assume that by 2 picks you mean 2 rounds/4songs?
Eephus will have to elaborate.
We have a while day to decide. Right now all I'm thinking about is kissing my wife and children and getting a can of Colt 45 in my mouth

Looks like RHE TOd (I think he might be one on autoskip too though). Looks like Uruk can go.

 
8.05 "You Can't Hurry Love," The Supremes (1966)

Time to diversify the playlist a bit and add one of the truly greatest Motown songs - many of which are still available - to my establishment's selection. Bass by James Jamerson, if I'm not mistaken. A truly great vocal performance by all three ladies and an irresistible groove. The Phil Collins remake of about a decade-and-a-half later, incidentally, also sounds pretty good today, and was unfairly savaged by people who just didn't like Phil.

8.xx Al B. Sure!, "Nite and Day" (1988)

Someone mentioned New Jack Swing, so I decided to add my favorite and (for my money) most melodic popular tune from that era. From the opening synth hook I like the overall sound of this one. Listening to this almost 30 years later, it's amazing how (a) the use of synthesizers for nearly every song on a record doesn't grate nearly as much, or even at all, when in the service of a hip-hop song, and how (b) no one ever really did figure out how to duplicate the sound of an electric guitar through sampling. The guitar unobtrusively riffing in the background, along with Al's voice, appear to me like the only "real" sounds on the entire song.

6th round picks

Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy - 1975

You saw the recent documentary on him ...right? The that focused on his alzheimer's? Reminded me of how good he was. He wasn't cool in those days - but I kind of grew up with his music - my mom played it a lot on the big console stereo.

There can never be enough Glen Campbell in a music draft.

Mrs. Eephus and I went to LA to see Campbell's Hollywood Bowl show on his farewell tour. He had some problems knowing which song was up next and wasn't up to introducing the band, but once the music started he managed to find most of the notes and all of the magic. I normally don't get emotional hearing Rhinestone Cowboy but that night :cry:

I think four of the band members are his children. He made a joke about it saying something like he was too cheap to pay a band so he grew one. :lol: My parents played him all the time in the house when I was growing up, and I loved hearing him. Still do.

 
Weird, I have Marvin Gaye and Fugees songs on my mix. It's almost like we have a similar theme.And damn, Doo *** is 18 years old now.
Ms. Lauryn Hill - still crazy after all these years
Going back to this, has there been another living artist who put out an album so critically acclaimed as this and never released another studio LP? Won the Grammy for AOTY, hit #1 in 3 countries, top 10 in 13 countries, 8x platinum in the US alone. Kinda amazing when you look back on it. She had such success with the Fugees and then blew up with her solo album.....then disappeared, went to prison, released some live material and scattered random singles and has really been nowhere to be found in the last 10 years or so.

 
2003- Beyoncé- Crazy In Love
Great song.
Anybody have any thoughts on the Super Bowl halftime?

I'm not a Coldplay fan but I thought it was pretty entertaining all things considered.
I liked it, Beyonce was the best part of it. Did her backup dancers/choreography etc... remind anyone else of late 80s Janet Jackson?
Not at the time, but now that you mention it, yes - good call!

 
Is this about where we are? I think rocknation TOd and we are on Fubar?
ok sure.

Going for two classics here.

8.10

Viva Las Vegas, Elvis Presley 1964

New York New York, Frank Sinatra, 1977
I put the jukebox metaphor out there originally but moved completely away from it myself.

I'm glad some people are using it for their selections.
I'm just trying to see how far I can push this location / travel theme before I get to songs I really don't like. The Elvis hit is iconic.
I like the ZZ Top cover.

 
When I was a teenager, I had just moved from Milwaukee in November 1982 - that's a legendary story in those parts.
I moved away from Milwaukee/Madison in January 1982. My link
I was expecting this link

:)

 
I kind of like the pace we're moving at now. I have time to sample all the music. It's like a box of chocolates- you never know what you're gonna get.

Being labeled as an eccentric genius is a better career move than the old sophomore album jinx. Terrence Trent d'Arby discovered this fact about four albums too late.
