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

[Mister CIA]

Sheeeet, I think I'm way behind. I'll start pushin' too hard.

One at a time:

9.A - Dear Mr. Fantasy by Traffic 1967 ... song blew me away the first time I heard it. I think it was during a viewing of Go Ask Alice in 10th grade Health class (unsure).

This was pre-internet 1980; it took me years to figure out exactly what song it was and who performed it!

 

[Mister CIA]

This artist mostly bores me, but like Jose Canseco he pulled a few 500 foot shots to dead left.

These lyrics have haunted me for years.

9.B - Doctor My Eyes by Jackson Browne, 1972

 

[Binky The Doormat]

This artist mostly bores me, but like Jose Canseco he pulled a few 500 foot shots to dead left.

These lyrics have haunted me for years.

9.B - Doctor My Eyes by Jackson Browne, 1972

Nice pick along with Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy" - not much of a Jackson Browne fan either but this is a great song.

 

[Mister CIA]

I love this guy. Insert megatons of hyperbole.

10. A - Life on a Chain by Pete Yorn, 2001

 

[Eephus]

The googlesheet is messed up. Please hold off on your round 12 picks until admin can figure things out.

Thursday here, hippies. Googlesheet looks OKish to me

9.B - Doctor My Eyes by Jackson Browne, 1972

If you've never listened to his first album, which this song is from, give it a try. I listened for the first time ever about 5 years ago and it's become one of my all time favorites. I don't think there's a weak song on that album and a few of them even surpass "Doctor", which I've always loved as well.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

I'm pretty sure I can't keep up with four picks a day, so I guess I'll have to be on auto skip.

(Tasker, I picked Hanson juuuuust for you.)

Holding.

YOU CAN RESUME PICKS. ROUND 12 CAN START NOW

** I need to go back and add some picks after 1:18 yesterday. So if you are checking the sheet for song picks, give me 30 mins or so. I will say when the sheet is up to date

 

[Uruk-Hai]

12.23A: "How A Resurrection Really Feels - The Hold Steady (2005) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFiiq2sFD7E

12.23B: "Crazy #####" - Buckcherry (2006) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJ6pLKlU-8Q

I know the Buckcherry song is awful, but play that in a bar full of women over 30 and watch the results.

"HARRF" just sounds like a last-call song to me

 

[AcerFC]

I love this guy. Insert megatons of hyperbole.

12.09a - Are You Gonna Be There (At The Love-In) - The Chocolate Watchband - 1967

12.09b - Folk Death 95 - Mogwai - 2006 - Mr. Beast

Of course I love both of these songs. Are You Gonna Be There...is one of my favorites from my twenties, culled from the Nuggets box set. It's Disc 4, Song 1, IIRC. Just a monster riff and a leering sort of vocal, imploring one to be at a love-in, which seems paradoxical.

Mogwai's Folk Death 95 is simply one of the best and most beautifully recorded bits of music I've ever heard (to me, of course, everything is subjective). The buried vocals of "Mogwai/punk rock/auto rock/Mogwai" is so cool to me, and so meta that I just love it. Mogwai has always thrown in some buried vocals on the tracks -- there are none cooler nor more succinct than these.

eta* I messed up the release date. It's 2006 for Mr. Beast. And nobody seems to agree upon the name. P4 has a period, WIki doesn't and then does.

 

[AcerFC]

Round 12

a) The Doors- 5 to 1, 1968

not the best Doors song but always resonated with me, probably that bass line. I thought this had that jukebox beat. Has some nice guitar work by Krieger in there as well

b) T REX- Bang A Gong, 1971

Had to get in on the T Rex run

I see this was already drafted

 

[Limp Ditka]

12.09b - Folk Death 95 - Mogwai - 2005 - Mr. Beast

I couldnt even begin to estimate how many times I've listened to this album during my commutes into the city. I'm not sure there's a more apropos piece of work for blank staring out the window of a moving train.

 

[AcerFC]

RD 12

b) T Rex- Jeepster, 1971

11.20 The White Stripes - The Denial Twist (2005)

10. A - Life on a Chain by Pete Yorn, 2001

You mother####er

Loved his debut album (especially this song) but haven't really cared for his subsequent releases. I saw him in concert on his first tour and thought he was going to be huge but that never really panned out. He's due to release a new album this year---hope it's a return to form.

 

[AcerFC]

I love this guy. Insert megatons of hyperbole.

10. A -

That was the only song I had pegged off that album and the year. Not loving my other choices

 

[timschochet]

Good morning.

1994 "You Gotta Be"- Des'ree

1993 "I Only Wanna Be With You"- Hootie & The Blowfish

 

[Abrantes]

 

[FUBAR]

12.10



I've Been Everywhere, Johnny Cash 1963

Walking in Memphis, Marc Cohn 1991

I was reluctant to take Memphis because I didn't like the song when it first came out, but after listening to it now, it's grown on me.

 

[PIK95]

I thought I would be the only one with a Hootie tune by drafts end. Good one Tim.

I'm going with

12.1A? Time - Pink Floyd -1974 (release)

I was on the green monster early last season with my son watching Sox-Yanks. There was a challenge on a call, and during the delay they played Time. The speakers were right next to us and it was freaking cool (and loud). All of a sudden they jumped outta Time and into I Want You Back (Jackson 5) and the place went bananas. Anyway, my Jukebox will have to be set to always play those two together now that I have both.

 

[simey]

a) The Doors- 5 to 1, 1968

not the best Doors song but always resonated with me, probably that bass line. I thought this had that jukebox beat. Has some nice guitar work by Krieger in there as well

I like this song. There aren't many Doors songs I don't like.

 

[Steve Tasker]

ROYKSOPP-Remind ME 2001

linklinklinklinkgeicolink

You know, I really want to like them, and Melody A.M. is a fantastic album, but I have just never been able to get into any of the rest of their music other than that album. That album just strikes me as so much better than the rest, from what I've heard.

Did you discover them from that Geico commercial too?

 

[Steve Tasker]

1993 "I Only Wanna Be With You"- Hootie & The Blowfish

I #### you not, this was on my shortlist.

 

[timschochet]

1993 "I Only Wanna Be With You"- Hootie & The Blowfish

I can't help it if I'm lucky.

12th(a): THE 13TH FLOOR ELEVATORS - You're Gonna Miss Me (1966)

LINK

 

[rockaction]

12.09b -

Really is kind of a good passenger album now that I think about it. Not great for company, but good for transit solitude.

 

[KarmaPolice]

12th(b): FUNKADELIC - Standing on the Verge of Getting It On (1974)

LINK

 

[AcerFC]

Verge?

 

[FUBAR]

Tim stayed up all night to get lucky.

Ooops - I either need some coffee, or I was spotlighting.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Gonna space my picks out today. I'll start by filling in some of the missing years.

12.18a - Al Green - "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)" (1973)

A very famous back beat with The Reverend Al Green himself crooning over it. What more could one need?

Bonus grainy video of a Soul Train performance. He's got his right arm in a sling but he's got a rose in his left hand for the entire song. With the live clip, you can really tell he's got an incredible voice.

Great song. I was eyeing it for this draft as well.

I love that tune! And most Doors tunes also. I may have to take one later.

Crap. Waited too long on this one. Only song I had lined up for '66.

Round 12

Spoon,


(1976)Just making the picks, real quick.

 

[PIK95]

I almost took Sir Duke, but I Wish was better for my dance bar. You can't go wrong with either.

 

[Ilov80s]

We can't have a Detroit jukebox without some Motown and it can't be the standard Motown hits. We need some deeper cuts.

12A

Because a true dive bar is always smokey....

1966- The Miracles (Come 'Round Here) I'm the One Your Need

12B

Every great bar should have a great end of the night song. Many bars might play the same tired tune, but an original like Howell's often closed up shop to this:

1967- Gladys Knight and the Pips - It's Time to Go Now

 

[Limp Ditka]

12.29a - Wilco - Jesus, Etc - 2002

This hit my playlist on the way into work and I started praying I had a slot for the year. Also, surprised to see this break the Wilco seal. Figured they'd find their way into this a little earlier

 

[Ilov80s]

Also, was it confirmed that we are doing 2 more in the PM?

 

[Fiddles]

Generationals - Ten Twenty Ten (2011)

Great song. I was eyeing it for this draft as well.

never heard of these guys this is a really fun tune

 

[Fiddles]

Round 12

Spoon,

great juke tunes right there buddy

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

12.xx Fleetwood Mac - Bare Trees (1972)

This is by far my favorite iteration of this band. I didn't hear this album until well past my oversaturation point with their later period, overplayed stuff. This album was a welcome breath of fresh air when I first heard it.

12.xx The Doors - LA Woman (1971)

My drug addled uncle (at that time, he's now clean) got me into the Doors at very young age (10-ish) and I wore out every one of their albums. Gotta have some Doors in my playlist.
