THE JOINT (teehee)

35.YM - Smoke Two Joints - The Toyes

That’s what I do!

 

[Ilov80s]

I was going to do Elvis but you guys convinced me otherwise with all these joints about joints.

 

[simey]

Round 35

After the Lovin' - Englebert Humperdinck  (Yacht Rock) 

 

[Raging weasel]

Round 35

After the Lovin' - Englebert Humperdinck  (Yacht Rock) 

Nice pick. I was going to draft it for the 70's when it came up, didn't think of it for Yacht rock. EH was my grandma's fav and so I listened to probably all his albums at one point or another. She watched us while my parents worked  and I was in elementary school and played them all the time . He was also the first concert I ever saw- think I was 9 or 10. I always think of her whenever I hear this song.

 

[Raging weasel]

Round 35

Elvis

Elvis-Heartbreak Hotel

I have now taken half of the Elvis in this draft

 

[Eephus]

I listened to about 45 minutes of the XMU mix over the weekend.  From what I heard, there's a punk/roots orientation and the Dawes track wouldn't sound out of place in the Yacht Rock mix.  I hit "A Certain Romance" twice on shuffle which reminded me to listen to more Arctic Monkeys. 

The part I listened to was predominantly up tempo so to bring things down,

34.8 or 12 - Sharon Van Etten - Every Time the Sun Comes Up (XMU)

 

[Eephus]

35.8 or 12 - Burning Spear - Hail H.I.M. (The Joint)

 

[rockaction]

34.8 or 12 - Sharon Van Etten - Every Time the Sun Comes Up (XMU)

Real horrorshow of a video there.

 

[Eephus]

Round 35: 

Yacht Rock channel

Love Will Find a Way -- Pablo Cruise

Tough to come up was a more yachtrocky name than Pablo Cruise

 

[Raging weasel]

My co-worker tested positive for covid so now I'm quarantined until the 30th. Have an appointment for covid test on Thursday.

My mom played him a lot.  How was he in concert?

I hope it comes back negative.

Round 36

Amazing Grace - Elvis   (Elvis Channel)

 

[Ilov80s]

Joint- I know very little of Rasta culture or religion. What’s with the emphasis on historical ME peoples?

Rd 35 This Morning by Sly and Robbie and others

Wake up this morning
Look like a curfew
Run up inna roadblock
Pure Babylon deh 'ya

Rd 36 Israelites by Desmond Dekker

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelites, ah

 

[Hov34]

Yacht Rock

36.xx  Holdin' on to Yesterday - Ambrosia

 

[Raging weasel]

My mom played him a lot.  How was he in concert?

Great from what I remember

The part I listened to was predominantly up tempo so to bring things down,

34.8 or 12 - Sharon Van Etten - Every Time the Sun Comes Up (XMU)

I did cite it as a fusion of indie and yacht rock when I selected it. 

 

[Pip's Invitation]

You didn't think I could get Neil onto the yacht rock playlist, did you? He wrote and did the original version of this.

Round 36:

Yacht Rock channel:

Lotta Love -- Nicolette Larson

Good luck. Stay healthy.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I listened to about 45 minutes of the XMU mix over the weekend. 

I listened today. There was a lot of new stuff for me I enjoyed. It is fairly eclectic - probably more so than the real station - but does play to the tastes of the drafter. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 36

I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You - Alan Parsons Project (Yacht Rock)

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Round 36

I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You - Alan Parsons Project (Yacht Rock)

I was thinking about nabbing this for Classic Rewind next time that came up.

ETA: I Robot is just a fantastic album. Parsons, who had worked on Dark Side of the Moon, basically crafted a late 70s-sounding take on that. 

 

[rockaction]

My co-worker tested positive for covid so now I'm quarantined until the 30th. Have an appointment for covid test on Thursday.

Ugh. Best your way.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I was thinking about nabbing this for Classic Rewind next time that came up.

There's a lot of overlap in the stations for sure. This mix is kind of fun because it's songs I don't hear a ton.

Quick primer. Dekker is always on my short list.

YACHT ROCK

36.YM - Peg - Steely Dan

Not a super deep cut, but this is a top yacht rock song for me. De La Soul had a nice sample of it too.

Augustus Pablo is one of my favorite reggae artists and I will most likely take him if the J gets rolled again.

YACHT ROCK

36.YM - Peg - Steely Dan

Not a super deep cut, but this is a top yacht rock song for me. De La Soul had a nice sample of it too. 
 

I like listening to full album covers even though they're never as good as the genuine article.  I recently discovered The Darcys' version of Aja.  It lacks the stellar musicianship of the originals but succeeds in emphasizing the weirdness of the band's lyrics.

 

[Eephus]

36.8 or 12 - Ini Kamoze - World A Music (the Joint)

 

[Pitchfork]

32.04 - Elliott BROOD - Oh, Alberta - Bluegrass
