Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (1 Viewer)

[Dr. Octopus]

When I suggested the spring channel, I was thinking more of songs about rain and storms.  Must be my Midwestern background.  But I'm sitting here in the midst of a glorious week of spring weather and feel like I should go "sunny."

I’m leaving the song I most associate with Spring for you.

241.k4  The Beatles - Mother Nature's Son  (Spring Forward)

The part about the daisies particularly makes me think of spring, since that's when they first come out.

 

[krista4]

I’m leaving the song I most associate with Spring for you.

If it's "Here Comes The Sun," it's already been selected...twice.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

If it's "Here Comes The Sun," it's already been selected...twice.

Yes. You see I’m kind of dumb when it comes to what’s been drafted and what hasn’t.

but yes, to me that’s the ultimate song of the hope that comes with Spring.

 

[krista4]

Yes. You see I’m kind of dumb when it comes to what’s been drafted and what hasn’t.

but yes, to me that’s the ultimate song of the hope that comes with Spring.

  I think it's the ultimate spring song, too.  Speaking of dumb, I was hoping it hadn't been drafted yet, but then checked the sheet and saw it had been...by me.  Someone else also drafted the Richie Havens cover of it.

Round 241

Hey Girl - The Jompson Brothers (Country Rock)

 

[simey]

I received an email today about buying a copy of this covers album.  It's on vinyl!  It's green!  It's a limited edition!  It's $35.98! 

I guess it is times like this that you wish being a corporate lawyer paid better. 

 

[krista4]

I guess it is times like this that you wish being a corporate lawyer paid better. 

  OK, I could buy it (and still might), but that just seems like a ridiculous price and I probably won't buy on principle.

It's a limited edition. Get it!

Round 242  -  Spring Forward  -  Cup of Wonder  -  Jethro Tull

 

[Eephus]

Round 241

Hey Girl - The Jompson Brothers (Country Rock)

No fiddle or lap steel on this one

 

[Eephus]

I put Tripping Balls back in Dayton because I think that's where it was when it was deleted.

New contenders for the next roll unless somebody objects

1. META-static radio - songs referencing other artists/songs/albums
   
2. Beat This -- songs with Beat(s) in the title or lyrics
   
3. The Jim and Jack Show: Songs about alcohol and drinking
   
4. Chemistry 101 (Songs about drugs)
   
5. This is the End -- songs with great endings
   
6. This is the Beginning - songs with great intros
   

 

[Dr. Octopus]

No fiddle or lap steel on this one

That album is more Southern Rock or even Classic Rock than Country but I don’t think Country Rock is too big a stretch. 

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

We may be overthinking this.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

We may be overthinking this.

Well it is Chris Stapleton so I think we’re safe. 

 

[Eephus]

We may be overthinking this.

We are overeverything this

 

[Ilov80s]

I know some Van has been taken so this is a blind pick as I haven’t checked the spreadsheet 

Spring 

Rd 242 Bright Side of the Road by Van Morrison

 

[krista4]

242.k4  Paul McCartney - Winter Bird/When Winter Comes  (Sleet)

Not to be confused with "Long-Tailed Winter Bird," which I previously selected for the Beatles channel.

242.8 or 12 - Cut Copy - In Memory Capsule  (Synth Smorg)

 

[Eephus]

Lou and I listened to the Outlaw Country mix on what used to be our evening walk but has now been moved up to daylight hours. Nobody messed with us.

 

[Buffaloes]

It's weird.  That BeeGees pick is nowhere to be found in the thread but round 79 was around the same time as the Holly Bonus Friday.

I hope @Buffaloes is doing OK.  He was really active in the pages I doublechecked but his last board activity is a Shark Pool post on Jan 3.

Saw this when I was going through notifications. Appreciate the thoughts, but I just stopped posting around the holidays and then got out of the habit I guess. I did come in here one day and saw the news about Man of Constant Sorrow and that really bummed me out.

[Eephus]

I'm not sure the demolition of Willie's Roadhouse is entirely consistent with dice rolling precedent but it's come up a bunch and Simey and I can just bonus it if necessary.

All good. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I'll have at least one more for it -- maybe a regular pick, maybe a bonus.

That's creepy.  You were thinking that I was going to take 2 prog picks tomorrow?

Lol.   Fitting.

Round 242

Ants Marching Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds (Spring Ahead) 

I'm a little scared to click the link due to the word "Dave" being followed by the word "Matthews," but I love the title's connection to spring.

 

[Raging weasel]

That's creepy.  You were thinking that I was going to take 2 prog picks tomorrow? 

Yes, this must be some killer weed. Luckily I don't have a 4k tv yet!

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I'm a little scared to click the link due to the word "Dave" being followed by the word "Matthews," but I love the title's connection to spring.

I actually prefer Dave and Tim to the full Dave Matthews Band, but I know plenty of people who can't handle him in any form. 

ETA: A side benefit of the Dave/Tim format is no sax. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Every one of today's categories has been picked at least four times today. We don't often get days like that anymore.

Round 242  -  Spring Forward  -  Cup of Wonder  -  Jethro Tull

Except maybe for the long song on side 2, this whole album screams "spring in England" to me.

My buddy who has a brewery in town released a new beer today

Any word on the brewery job? 

 

[Northern Voice]

Any word on the brewery job? 

No, I had the interview yesterday and I think it went really well but it's now wait and see if I get a call for the final interview.

I have a "virtual interview" tomorrow with Traeger and another company reached out to me and asked me to interview for a position, so I think we're coming to the time where it's been a couple weeks of me putting things out there and starting to get some results. I really want the brewery one though. 

 

[KarmaPolice]

Yes, this must be some killer weed. Luckily I don't have a 4k tv yet!

Don't.  Watch.  Star Wars!!!
