Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (2 Viewers)

[Mrs. Rannous]

Round 248  -  Featuring  -  John Lee Hooker featuring Carlos Santana  -  Chill Out (Things Gonna Change)

 

[Eephus]

So l listened to the largely ignored Velvet Playlist while cleaning today. It’s enjoyable for what it is. Very mellow but satisfying and contains a swarth of talent that would have likely went mostly unrepresented otherwise.

Some great voices on there.

The shark move is to opt for a short playlist when cleaning

 

[Eephus]

247.8 or 12 - Nekfeu (feat. Ed Sheeran) - Reuf  (Featuring...)

My daughter covers her French Hip Hop and Ed Sheeran bases with a single pick.

Sheeran's appearance on the chorus lifts the song up even though he's singing in a different language from the rest of the song. I have no idea what Nekfeu is rapping about but the downtempo 90 second coda doesn't do anything for me.

FFA-1 Storytellers

A Boy Named Sue -- Johnny Cash

 

[Ilov80s]

THIS is a story.

Round 246:

FFA-1 Storytellers

A Boy Named Sue -- Johnny Cash

It is but probably a better fit for the upcoming category of “songs about names starting with the letter S” 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

It is but probably a better fit for the upcoming category of “songs about names starting with the letter S” 

Only if it beats out “Songs About Eating Utensils (from around the World)” in Dayton.

 

[simey]

Cary Ann Hearst is from Shovels and Rope.

Round 245

Another Like You - Hayes Carll featuring Cary Ann Hearst  (featuring)

 

[rockaction]

Round 244.xx

Category: The Noble Eightfold Path

Song: Chinese Rocks

Artist: The Heartbreakers

 

[KarmaPolice]

I think I took this one before and mixed up what specific version I needed.   A chance to take song with 2 of my obsessions from the last 5 years.   To be safe we need the one re-recorded for 13 Reasons Why. 

FEATURING....

246.xx:  LORD HURON (ft. Phoebe Bridgers) - THE NIGHT WE MET

Link

 

[Buffaloes]

If we need another Dayton category what about songs about or referencing books/literature?

 

[Buffaloes]

Round 245

Featuring

Raphael Saadiq feat. Q Tip - Get Involved

 

[simey]

Round 246

Highway Patrolman - Bruce Springsteen (Storytellers)

 

[Eephus]

245.8 or 12 - Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On  (Velvet)

 

[Yo Mama]

FEATURING

245.YM - Bring the Noise - Anthrax ft. Public Enemy

Hopefully this counts. 

 

[Yo Mama]

FEATURING

246.YM - Victory - Diddy ft. Notorious B.I.G. & Busta Rhymes

Great workout song. 

 

[Raging weasel]

Round 246 Storytellers

Thought about this for the Spring mix just based on the title. The actual lyrics deal with drugs and murder so probably works better here.

Blue Oyster Cult- Then Came the Last Days of May

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

If we need another Dayton category what about songs about or referencing books/literature?

Oh, goody.  More Rush.

 

[Yo Mama]

Oh, goody.  More Rush.

I already chose Xanadu and Red Barchetta. Cause I’m awesome. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

BONUS 50s on 5 BEFORE THE SOCK HOP IS OVER

Betty Lou Got a New Pair of Shoes -- Bobby Freeman

Hit the top 40 of the pop charts and the top 20 of the R&B charts in 1958. Covered by Neil on his horrible rockabilly album. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

As I've said here and elsewhere, I'm not much of a Bruce fan. But I do have a #1 from him.

Round 166:

Springsteen channel

Atlantic City -- Bruce Springsteen

Can someone add this to the Springsteen playlist? 

 

[Raging weasel]

Tonight we're moving slowly while the cavalry moves in for the kill...

50s on 5 is under an hour twenty

In that case, let's do another 50s on 5 bonus.

Rocket 88 -- Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats

Some music writers/historians call this the first rock and roll record ever made. Ike Turner plays on it. 

 

[krista4]

246.k4. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Curse of Millhaven  (Dark dark dark storytellers) (also, dark)

 

[Pip's Invitation]

246.k4. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Curse of Millhaven  (Dark dark dark storytellers) (also, dark)

I mean, they did a whole album of murder ballads.

Bonus 50s

Gogi Grant - The Wayward Wind  (50s on 5)

Needs two more songs to make it to and hour and a half.

Also covered by Neil!

I know just what to do.

Get a Job -- The Silhouettes

Got a Job -- The Miracles

Smokey and co's first single was an "answer record" -- those were popular at the time. 

ETA: Neil has also covered Get a Job.

1:31

We did it

 

[rockaction]

Somehow 1:31 seems like it's asking for some cushion. I always wanted to cover this in a pop/punk band back in the nineties. Alas, the newer version of the Misfits did. It was terrible. Could have been so good.

Bonus 50s on 5

Bobby Darin - Dream Lover

 

[Eephus]

50s are up to 1:34 now which would be 14:45 in 2021 dollars.

Storytellers

Rd 246: Da Art of Storytellin’ (pt 1) by Outkast

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Storytellers

Rd 245: Minnie the Moocher by Cab Calloway

I had this song in my head for the 1900-1940s playlist but it fits perfectly here too 

Folks, here's a story about Minnie the Moocher
She was a lowdown hoochie coocher
She was the roughest, toughest frail
But Minnie had a heart as big as a whale

FYI this hasn't been put on the playlist yet. 

 

[Raging weasel]

FYI this hasn't been put on the playlist yet. 

Got it

Gee, I wonder whose guitar playing I should spotlight first?

Round 247:

Guitar Hero

Danger Bird -- Neil Young and Crazy Horse

As mentioned in this song's entry in my Neil countdown, Lou Reed had this to say about it:

(Neil's guitar playing on this song) makes me cry, it is the best I have heard in my life. The guy is a spectacular guitarist, those melodies are so marvelous, so calculated, constructed note to note… he must have killed to get those notes. It puts my hairs on end.

It was also my #3 song in my "next 100" countdown of 1975. It's not known among non-Neil die-hards as much as it should be, probably because Cortez the Killer received all the attention when Zuma came out, and because for some reason Neil didn't perform Danger Bird live until 15 years after its release. 

There are spectacular live versions on the Year of the Horse soundtrack and on the new archival release Way Down in the Rust Bucket.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Is this the guitarists other than rock and blues category?

I guess not.

Guitar Hero

Rd 247: Ashes in the Fall by Rage Against the Machine

I love the unique style Morello took with the guitar. Violent and supersonic, the perfect fit for Zach’s revolutionary anger.

Round 247

Highway Patrolman - Bruce Springsteen (Springsteen)

I'm going to move this song to the Springsteen channel. I forgot that Springsteen was today.

 

[simey]

I'm replacing yesterday's storytelling song with this one. Also, today is guitar hero day, and I wanted to add that I think David Rawlings is one of the best guitarist around. He usually plays an archtop guitar that he found in a friend's garage, and it had no strings, bridge, and was covered in sawdust. He liked the sound it gave when he knocked on it, and the feel of it, so he did a trade with his friend, and had it fixed up. He is always on Gillian Welch's albums, and she is part of the David Rawlings Band. They are a couple and music partners, and originally met at the Berkelee College of Music.

Round 246 

Caleb Meyer - Gillian Welch  (Storytellers)
