DI Jukebox Draft (66-15)- Listen up (1 Viewer)

[Mister CIA]

No sure what pick this is. According to my notes I owe 11 picks to get to 50, or 5 to get through round 22 tonight. I'll sort it out later. For now here is round 22, pick 2.

20.2 - Beg Steal or Borrow by Ray LaMontagne, 2010

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

See you DO like the blues. 

It's hardly Muddy Waters. It's a great instrumental. For heavens sake it reached No.1 in the UK. Not many "blues" songs can say that.

 

[timschochet]

It's hardly Muddy Waters. It's a great instrumental. For heavens sake it reached No.1 in the UK. Not many "blues" songs can say that.

Isn't that Peter Green though? He and John Mayall pretty much defined white British blues in the late 60s. 

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Isn't that Peter Green though? He and John Mayall pretty much defined white British blues in the late 60s. 

To quote George Carlin

White people got no business playing the blues ever, at all, under any circumstances. Ever, ever, ever. What the #### do white people have to be blue about? "Banana Republic ran out of khakis"?

"The espresso machine is jammed"?

"Hootie and the Blowfish are breaking up"?

####, white people ought to understand their job is to *give* people the blues, not to get them. And certainly not to sing or play them. I'll tell you a little secret about the blues: it's not enough to know which notes to play. You got to know why they need to be played.

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Best Remix ever. Only available on a Vinyl 1987 remix. They remixed this song 6000 times so trying to find this exact version is difficult on youtube. Still my most played piece of vinyl ever. The normal mix I couldn't care less about. This one = electronic gold

23a.17 - Pet Shop Boys - Always on my Mind - Vinyl Remix - 1987

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

My favorite Beatles song, which I can explain by saying I'm not particularly a Beatles fan.  Happy Birthday, Yoko!

The Beatles -- The Ballad of John & Yoko -- 1969

 

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Touch choice in the year of punk. So many directions to go. I'm gonna go with the crusty old miserable dudes in the corner jumping on the bandwagon.

Little lady
With Dingwall's bullshit
You're so stupid
Foetid brainwaves
Little lady
What really happens?
When you see mirrors
You get the shivers

Aaaah!

Making love to
The Mersey Tunnel
With a sausage, have you ever been to Liverpool?
Please don't talk much
It burns my ears
Tonight you've talked for a thousand years

23b.17 - The Stranglers - London Lady - 1977

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Are you guys limiting your choices to songs only available through Spotify so they can make the playlist?

 

[Mister CIA]

Nobody can deliver gut punches with words quite like Lucinda.

21.1 - World Without Tears by Lucinda Williams, 2003

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

OK, this has been in pencil on my sheet for at least 15 "rounds."  If you're going to be derivative, be derivative of Gang of Four

Franz Ferdinand -- No You Girls -- 2009

 

[Dr. Octopus]

No sure what pick this is. According to my notes I owe 11 picks to get to 50, or 5 to get through round 22 tonight. I'll sort it out later. For now here is round 22, pick 2.

20.2 - Beg Steal or Borrow by Ray LaMontagne, 2010

I took this a number of rounds back. Sorry man.

 

[Eephus]

1998 - Skipped

20b.13 - Roachford - Cuddly Toy (Feel for me) - 1988

Wow, haven't thought about those guys since...well about 1989

 

[Eephus]

Are you guys limiting your choices to songs only available through Spotify so they can make the playlist?

I am but there's no rule one way or the other

 

[simey]

Are you guys limiting your choices to songs only available through Spotify so they can make the playlist?

I am.

 

[Eephus]

23.e   Mama Do the Hump - Rizzle Kicks - 2011

23.e   28 Butts - Little Jackie - 2008

Dumb fun but with hooks that I find myself humming at the oddest times

 

[PIK95]

Gotta love the use of the Mandolin

22a.13 - Vampire Weekend - Mansard Roof - 2007

I love the Cape Cod tune.  Great band.

 

[simey]

23.e   28 Butts - Little Jackie - 2008

 

[Mister CIA]

I took this a number of rounds back. Sorry man.

Arrrrrgh!

 

[AcerFC]

I have work tomorrow. Its a make up for a snow day and most kids wont be there. I plan to have all the kids update the sheet. I know its late in the game right now, but I want that sheet complete. WOLVERINES1!1!1!1!1!1!1

 

[PIK95]

I'll make a bunch of picks tonight if I can stay awake.

 

[DocHolliday]

Let's crank the testosterone up to 11...

22.x

1980- Motorhead    Ace of Spades

22.x

1994- Danzig   Mother (94)

That is how you pick rock songs.  

 

[AcerFC]

Cant tell you how much I used to love the Misfits. What a great band. I like Danzigs solo stuff also. Was great when that sicko in 8mm was listening to it at his house. 

 

[Steve Tasker]

23.e   Mama Do the Hump - Rizzle Kicks - 2011

23.e   28 Butts - Little Jackie - 2008

Dumb fun but with hooks that I find myself humming at the oddest times

I've never heard of either of these.  I'll have to check em out tomorrow.  Seems like both groups are/were moderately popular in the UK but not here?

 

[PIK95]

Beach Boys, Feel Flows - 1971

I loved this in Almost Famous.

 

[Binky The Doormat]

Sharing the first 20 rounds of my "play at home" version of the official game.  I am trying to go with one artist & closely related artists/songs.  I am working on two lists - one generally softer music and the other is generally a little to a lot faster/harder.  The intent is for each list to complete the 50 years with 1 song per year.  

My artist is no suprise to most here:  Todd Rundgren

Almost 50 years in the recording business.  

The priority for selection is - Todd/Utopia/Nazz doing Todd/Utopia songs  >  Todd/Utopia doing covers > Other artists doing Todd songs > Songs directly related to strong Todd  influences/connections (similar artists or artists he has produced) > Songs/groups with similar sound or secondary connection to Todd as reflected at Allmusic/Last fm.  

Sorry for the messed up formatting, I don't know what is going on ...btw for indulgence purposes I linked the Daryl's House "Wait for Me" version with Todd - its not available on Spotify that I can find.

[Fiddles]

Luna nice one Simey

 

[KarmaPolice]

Gotta say that I am surprised (pleasantly) that a couple System of a Down songs, and more so a couple Marilyn Manson songs were taken in this draft. 

 

[Fiddles]

22.02 Butthole Surfers - Perry 1986

22.02 Voivod - Forgotten In Space 1987

23.29 Slayer - Silent Scream 1988

23.29 Soundgarden - Ugly Truth 1989

 

[KarmaPolice]

23.29 Slayer - Silent Scream 1988

Nice choice.  That album seems to get skipped over for the two before and after, but I love South of Heaven just as much. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

I have probably taken this in another draft too, but I need something off my favorite Who album.  I still don't know how Entwistle's fingers didn't fall off during this song...

23rd(a):  THE WHO - The Real Me (1973)

LINK

 

[rockaction]

Nice choice.  That album seems to get skipped over for the two before and after, but I love South of Heaven just as much. 

South Of Heaven got me into Slayer. It's legend. The problem is that Rubin slowed them down and then they finessed their sound for the next two albums.  

 

[KarmaPolice]

What a great uplifting pair I have with this and my Soundgarden track...

23rd(b): ALICE IN CHAINS - Down in a Hole (1992)

And yes mother ####ers - that guitar Todd's wailing on in Black Maria is the famous Eric Clapton's "The Fool" '64 Gibson SG, he played it for years.

[John Maddens Lunchbox]

Wow, haven't thought about those guys since...well about 1989

They were big in the UK for their 1st album. Their 2nd album was an example of dimishing returns. Their 3rd continued a decline in the Uk, but for some reason they had a massive hit in OZ with the 3rd album "Permanent Shade of Blue". The first 2 albums and every album since in oz failed to make the top 100. Cuddly Toy the song only made it to 70 something there.

22.02 Voivod - Forgotten In Space 1987

Gotta say that I am surprised (pleasantly) that a couple System of a Down songs, and more so a couple Marilyn Manson songs were taken in this draft. 

We've been picking from all over the place.  It's fun and educational.

Let's cruise like Dynaflow!

Round 24a - Panama - Van Halen (1984)

Diamond Dave gets groovy and airborne.

Round 24b - Gettin' In the Mood - Brian Setzer Orchestra (2000)

Love Glenn Miller.  Love Brian Setzer.  And it's great dance music for the juke box.

 

[AcerFC]

a) Phantom Planet- Do the Panic, 2008

b) Sleater Kinney- Ironclad, 2000

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

At this point, I have no idea what else to pick for the years I'm missing.  Some years are evidently a music wasteland for me.  I either need to go early or do without.

It's a bit depressing.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Oh, screw it.  This has nothing to do with anything else in my draft, but I like it.

Round 25a - Tennessee Flattop Box - Johnny Cash (1961)

a) New Found Glory- Selfless, 2014

I dont like my 1996 choice. Will kill the master list. need to look some more

 

[KarmaPolice]

At this point, I have no idea what else to pick for the years I'm missing.  Some years are evidently a music wasteland for me.  I either need to go early or do without.

It's a bit depressing.

I am sure others have ideas for you.  Maybe PM someone who has similar tastes as you?

b) Rush- Test for Echo, 1996

Just found this song. Its pretty kick ### despite what you think of Rush
