Genrepalooza Presents: FG Radio - Tons of Lithium but very little Chill (4 Viewers)

@rockactionmore accounting

My list had these two in The Hopper from the first run, but they're not on your Hopper list. What is the deal with them?

Songs that make you cry

Squeezebox Redux (songs featuring the accordion)


Don't know. I suppose we can just add them. Songs that make you cry is a fine category. I don't like Squeezebox Redux, but I haven't used my personal judgment on any of them. I'll leave it up to other people to decide. It must have just gotten lost in the copying. I'll add them. 

 
I'm leaving for my niece's graduation early tomorrow, so I won't be around. I don't think it matters as the dice are already rolled and everything, but I won't be adding to the playlists or anything until late Sunday. Keep cool and Merry June 10th (Not Juneteenth!).

The nice thing about the format you created is that it doesn't require you (or anybody else) to check in every day. 

 
I thought I wrote that concert post in the concert thread. It's been a long day. I've been giving the inside of my nephew's (he will be a senior in high school) car a facelift. It is actually my brother's car (which was my dad's car three years ago), but my brother took over my nephew's SUV about 2 months ago, because it has a trailer hitch on it, and right now with gas being high, he told my nephew if he drives the sedan for a bit he will pay for his gas. My brother trashes the inside of any car he drives. The SUV is now disgusting inside, and my nephew always kept it clean.  Anyway, I'm sprucing up the inside of the sedan for my nephew.  I shampooed the carpet and scrubbed the weather mats.  Vacuumed the inside, and put Armor All on the dash and other places surrounding it. I put leather cleaner and conditioner on all the seats including the front ones I put covers on.  I bought a new knockoff middle console top, because the one inside was torn up. I bought new seat covers, because the front seats are ripped up. The seat covers were cheap, but they look much better than the ripped seats. The console top fits perfect and is a match in color. It was cheap too, but looks great. I've been doing it all day, with a break or two, and I am now done. I hope my brother doesn't set foot in it any time soon. If he does, I will not be happy, cause he will just trash it again, and he won't care. Whenever my nephew gets his SUV back, it will be a pig pen, but for now he can sit inside a vehicle that you don't have to feel like you need a tetanus shot to sit in.

 
Saturday pick:  Sister Sledge - All American Girls  (I Write the Songs - Allee Willis)

Allee Willis was a Detroit native and a fellow Wisconsin alumni.  She had a great run in the 80s and 90s as a Pop and R&B songwriter for artists including Earth Wind & Fire, Pet Shop Boys and the Pointer Sisters.  Her best known composition is probably the theme from Friends "I'll Be There For You".  She also wrote the music for the Broadway musical based on The Color Purple.

"All American Girls" was the first record after Sister Sledge split from the Chic Organization.  New producer Narada Michael Walden sticks with the sound that made the sisters famous with Randy Jackson channeling Bernard Edwards on the bass line.

 
Sunday pick:  The 1975 - The 1975 (Notes on a Conditional Form version) - Side 1, Track 1

The 1975's schtick is to open each of their albums with a track titled "The 1975".  Their first three album openers were variations on a theme but they changed things up on their 2020 album Notes on a Conditional Form.  They set a five minute speech by climate activist Greta Thunberg to an atmospheric keyboard track.  It's a unique way of getting an important message to their audience and currently has almost 8 million streams on Spotify.

What the hell does your brother DO when he’s in the car?

 
What the hell does your brother DO when he’s in the car?
Any beverage spill, including coffee, is never cleaned up whether spilt on console or spilt on seats. Fast food bags, wrappers, cups, condiments, crumbs, and food (especially fries) left on the floors. Mud from shoes smeared everywhere. Muddy dog prints all over. Water bottles, soda cans and plastic soda bottles, etc. all over the floor and seats. Pens, yellowed papers, dirty socks, etc. all over the floor.  Change everywhere (I put that in my pocket). You get the picture. He just leaves a nasty mess, and it smells icky. He and his wife have been separated for around 5 years now, and her car is immaculate inside.

Just back back from graduation. It was nice. My niece graduated from UCLA with a degree in microbiology and immunization and something else department. Interesting and difficult nerdy major. But cool. 

It was sunny in Westwood today. Beautiful area, nice campus. I think I got my only sun all year and wound up with a sunburned forehead where my hair wasn't. 

Not quite as glamorous as an L.A. graduation as I would have expected, but things have changed at UCLA. It's now the flagship for UC schools, so it's a little nerdier than the days of yore. 

And that's all I got. Peace, y'all. 

 
If we all agree, I can nix the category and re-roll. If not, the other cats are easy enough. I’m not sure how to approach it.

Round 557

Category: Side 1, Track 1

Artist: Bob Dylan 

Song: Rainy Day Women #12 and 35

The first track off of Blonde on Blonde. You all know what everybody must do in the face of all that society. 

Get stoned. 

Listened to it this weekend while sitting with insomnia in the hotel lobby. Good times, actually. Peaceful. Hope I didn't catch COVID.

Round 559 

Category: I Write The Songs 

Artist: Marvin Gaye 

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson 

Song: Ain't That Peculiar

I was personally unaware of how many hits Smokey penned for other artists.  Songwriting credits on this 1965 hit feature Smokey plus other Miracles members Bobby Rogers, Pete Moore, and Marv Tarplin.

Accounting from the weekend: 

I updated the Working For A Living and Filthy Lucre playlists. 

The Side 1, Track 1 and I Write The Songs playlists were a Pip creation, so they're unshared. Pip, whenever you get a chance, the Marvin Gaye "Ain't That Peculiar" song can be added. At your leisure, as always. The Midnight Oil track, if it hasn't been added, will also require your attention because Up/Downstairs is also a Pip production, IIRC. 

I also just figured out why wikkid calls your wife "Gladys" about twenty-four hours after you caught why. Jeez. That's funny.

Right before the Bee Gees smashed the disco charts? Looked up the song on Wiki. It's got that high pitched falsetto with Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb sharing the lead. 

Interesting song.  
The song is off the album Main Course, which is the first album they ever used their falsetto voices on. I think it was the song "Nights on Broadway" from the album that Barry was asked to use his falsetto, and the rest is history with that sound.

Thanks. I think all of my playlists are current up until I went to bed last night, which before the Gaye song was picked. I’ll update again today.

Yep. That's what I figured. It's really no big deal about when you get to it. If it ever takes a few days or weeks, then that's what it takes. Spotify boned us on no longer being able to collaborate unless you copy the link and do it within 24 hours. 

Social media sure moves at speeds unheard of in the older ways of the world.

The falsetto at the end of Nights on Broadway is actually Maurice. But it sounded so good that they started incorporating it elsewhere, and by the time of Saturday Night Fever it became their dominant style. Main Course’s biggest hit, Jive Talkin’, does not have falsetto.

I had a Barry Gibb lunchbox in first and second grade. On the sides it had the names of some of their songs. One was Fanny. Some of the other kids made fun of me because I had a lunchbox with the word Fanny on it, so I put a sticker over the word.

Barry is the one singing the falsetto in "Nights on Broadway" on the studio recording on Main Course.  Maurice usually did the falsetto when they sang it live.

The Bee Gees is the first band I saw live without my parents in 1979. That was the concert where before we got out of the van, Ric Flair was combing his hair in the reflection of the window.

It was proposed long ago, probably on Memorial Day or 4th of July. I believe it came with the footnote of "Lee Greenwood and Toby Keith need not apply." 
Yes -  I was the one who suggested the category. Doesn't have to be a rah-rah type song, and like most categories we can define "patriotic" broadly.

 
It is already as hot as blue blazes outside. I'm going to take my cooling neck wrap tonight in hopes it helps me not overheat. My body has never regulated heat normal.
