So my coworker and really my mentor at work has Guillain Barre. It’s a very extreme neurological and autoimmune disorder. Basically Friday she was at work and fine. When I came into work Monday I found out she is in ICU on breathing machines because she no longer can control muscles in her body- even her lungs aren’t working. There’s probably a 5-10% chance she will just die. If she lives, it sounds like it will take a year or 2 of PT to learn to walk, eat, talk, etc, Freaking sucks. She’s single with no kids but her best friend was her dog. She had it trained as a service dog. They went to the hospitals and hospice together weekly and basically did everything together. That last weekend in April she came out and found her dog almost unable to move and in a ton of pain. Her dog apparently had some undetected cancer and had to be put down. Then this horrible disorder strikes her a week later. Her best friend and dog who brought so much joy to ailing people (including my dad when he broke his hip) isn’t even there to comfort her owner. I’m just a freaking mess over this. 

So once I’m done with my coffee, ill likely have some bourbon and post some sad songs here. Sorry to be a downer. But also thanks for a place to escape or even help deal with the stress of “real life”.

That’s awful all around - stay strong.

 
Spotlighters' Breakfast

Herbert, Something Isn't Right (Dance/Electronica?; 2006)

I was a basic Pitchfork bro for a good chunk of the early 2000s, and a lot of what I heard back then didn't stick, but this holds up, and I don't know if I've drafted it before. Weird category fit, actually, but not sure where else I'd put it.

My daughter is 27 now.  It's been a while since she went to a show with us.  She doesn't like going early and standing up front.  Millennials!!!

The 1975 has always been our band.  I hyped them when their first UK singles came out while she was away at college.  We saw them together on their second US club tour and she's seen them a bunch of times since.  We've seen a bunch of punks and 80s bands and she pinch hit for a sick Mrs. Eephus for a Strand of Oaks show. 

My daughter was at the Mystery Jets show where Mrs. Eephus decked some drunk woman for jumping on her.  She was also appalled at a Spinnerette concert where a different drunk woman was hitting on me and stroking my hair.  Rock 'n roll will stand.

The real question here is how was Spinnerette? That's an interesting show to see.

22. TV On The Radio, Young Liars (Rock?/Whatever I Damn Well Want; 2003)

Can't remember whether I picked it before or not, and Marco already popped the TVOTR seal, but even so - it's ####### otherworldly, ethereal, beautiful. Gimme.

This is a band that no matter what, I can not get into. I think they were just a little too hyped coming from the BKNY scene and all. I don't know. Return To Cookie Mountain can't even sell out an exclusive pressing at Vinyl Me, Please, and much lesser-known acts do. Then again, neither did T.I. or Camp Lo, so there's no accounting for mass taste (or niche taste, in this case) somehow.

***FRIDAY'S CATEGORIES WILL BE ARCADE FIRE AND CHILLWAVE***

With the original draft basically officially over, I'm also instituting these rules as well:

----

From 9 PM Eastern every night until 9 AM the following morning, the theme is "There is a Spotlight That Never Goes Out"

- Everyone can post unlimited picks/songs (try to still align with categories for playlist purposes)

- Turn the spotlight on. Highlight all the songs in all the categories by all the bands that were missed. 

- Intoxicating substances encouraged.

Reminder we have new categories. 

Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1(Tunnels) - Arcade Fire

Easily my favorite Arcade Fire song. This is what drew me into this album. I had hated them before hearing this, and loved it. 

Post-Draft

Artist/Genre: Arcade Fire 

Song: Neighborhood #2 (Laika) 

Album: Funeral

Not sure if we draft from both or one. If both, or if one or both, then...

Genre: Chillwave

Artist: Panda Bear

Song: Bros

Album: Person Pitch

I definitely scooped this one on Vinyl Me, Please. It's worthy of inclusion here. As far as chillwave lists, this is on Wiki and Vinyl Me, Please's lists of the album that started chillwave as a genre.

Not sure if it counts as chillwave (murky genre definition), but I was looking for an opportunity to draft him. Dude's got a great sound.

23. Helado Negro, Come Be Me (2018)

Hah. My chillwave knowledge is crazy limited, so Person Pitch didn't immediately come to mind, but I was huge into it at the time. Beautiful album, great song.

Man, hard to believe it was ten years ago.  I don't remember a ton about the set itself other than I felt Brody didn't really connect with the audience.  We'd taken both our kids and our son brought a friend so keeping track of two 13 year old boys in a crowd was a distraction.

Other than the drunk chick hitting on me, my other big takeaway came from one of the opening bands.  They were terrible but I'll always remember they introduced one of their songs as "our next song is about the battle of Antietam" (they weren't Titus Andronicus).  That line has become one of our inside jokes when we're watching an opener that we don't like.

LOL.

I always thought that Titus Andronicus's analogy that a millennial move from Newark to Somerville could be akin to the Civil War was, well, about as cringe-worthy.

And I've seen Titus live and have nothing against them except for thinking that was a bit overwrought and a real misstep in valuation of circumstance. I wonder why some people get passes on that sort of ego-driven thoughtlessness and others don't. Oh well...

 
I'm a generation older than most of you mugs so Arcade Fire doesn't have the same significance for me. 

The only song of theirs that I can say I love is this one.  It's because it reminds me of Echo and the Bunnymen for some reason.

Arcade Fire - Keep the Car Running

 
Also thanks to the well wishes last night. Not sure why exactly but I had the best day of school in awhile. Such a blast and reminded of all the reasons I love the job.

Do you want to throw out the categories for the weekend? I'm pretty much just winging it here.

I was wondering where that came from. A little early on the :banned: this weekend?

No schweat either way, I'm still game. Spotlight tonight after nine, right?  I am entirely unfamiliar with chillwave. Washed Out has great album covers; that's about all I know.

lol yes it was intentionally transparent. Wife and I met her sister for some wine and early dinner. They are now headed out to meet mom for a girls night. 

My SIL works in Chicago as a main distributor for  Sazerac so she brought me a very nice bottle of Weller bourbon that I might crack.

**Com Truise medley**

Upstate New York's finest.  My last.fm page stopped tracking my listens awhile back, but this guy was far and away my #1 listen for about like 5 years.  Partially because it's great to listen to at work / while zoning out playing video games, partially just because it's great.

"Alfa Beach"

"Cyanide Sisters"

"Brokendate"
