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

simey said:
The "kids" and niece of Barry, Maurice, Robin, and Andy Gibb made an album covering some of their songs a few years ago. This song is a Bee Gees cover with five of the kids singing in it. Samantha, Adam (Maurice's kids) Stephen (Barry's kid) Peta (Andy's kid) and Spencer (Robin's kid) sing this song. Robin John (Robin's kid), Travis (Barry's kid) and Bernice "Berry" Gibb Rhodes (their niece) also sing on the album, but aren't on this song.

Round 574

Please Don't Turn Out The Lights - Gibb Collective / VA     (Vocals/Harmonies)

one more from the mentors (minus Andy)

Lonely Nights - Bee Gees   (Vocals/Harmonies)

I don’t think Vocals is a category yet - it just got promoted.

 
I'll make this quick, cause I have to go get my blood drawn in 30 minutes. This is a song I was turned on to in the U2 thread. It was written by Bono for Frank Sinatra, but he never got around to recording it. U2 recorded it, and I dig it!  

Round 574 (again)

Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad - U2   (Jazz singer)

Added. I haven't necessarily been adding to all the playlists. Is this all you've got or are you doing the same and there will just be gaps?

I'm not sure I understand the question. 

I don't use the app and can't add to playlists that I didn't create. So when a playlist that isn't mine is retired, I see if the number of songs on it match the number on the spreadsheet, and if not, I determine the missing ones and post them in this thread. Occasionally I will do this to a category before retirement if I'm bored or it's missing a bunch or whatever. 

 
So for those that asked or cared back when I was talking about the class I was taking, I wound up doing really well in my Intro to Copyediting course. Solid "A." More importantly than that, I learned a ton, or at least learned some fundamental concepts that were very important to my future and my writing. So I'm pretty happy with that. I can just put that I took the course on LinkedIn or any resume with no sweat.

So next I'll be taking Grammar For Editors, or at least I think I am. It should be very interesting because our professor is a Pulitzer-nominated poet who sounds ubercool and does podcasts for NPR and stuff. I'm sort of excited for this one, though we don't have class meetings, per se. It's all online. But there are optional group meetings that I'd be interested to be a part of. 

Anyway, just an update. Bless you guys for being cool and listening.

Ah, okay. I meant to ask if you were noticing songs being added or not to the playlists. 

I totally understand that you don't use the app, so I'm wondering what I've got to do to keep them updated with the picks. What I'm going to have to do is go through the spreadsheet and figure out what categories have been rolled and add those songs to the playlists. 

I'll get to that maybe this weekend or sometime in the future.

Nice work. I always enjoy people staying sharp and being open to learning more. I am in envy of the courses you are taking. Grammar and editing are weaknesses of mine, wish I was better. The next class sounds really interesting.

Yeah, you did! Thanks for the support! If I'm being honest, I don't think the guy graded anything and just gave everybody A's unless they missed class too much. Hwarf. That's funny. 

I'm really not a grade boaster nor needy. I'm seriously just happy I don't have to explain away a "C" when telling people what I was doing for those two months.

True, but it's personally a bit funny because emo is right in my former wheelhouse and goth is something I just never got into.

@scorchyis a goth aficionado in addition to otb; both veterans of the goth scene/unseen and its output.

576. The Mission - Tower of Strength  (All Goth)

Mrs. Eephus has always been the Goth fan in our house, in large part because of the fashion and makeup elements that don't interest me unless she asks me how she looks. 

The Mission's 1988 album Children is probably my favorite Goth record.  They brought in John Paul Jones to produce and he gives the band more of a Classic Rock sound.  I wanted to draft this song for Strings and Things but it turns out JPJ did the string section with synthesizers.

 
I'll double up on Goth since I'm doing the playlist. 

576.  Specimen - Hex  (All Goth)

Specimen may not have been the first Goth act but they were the house band at the birthplace of the genre: the notorious Batcave in Soho.
