There's a couple acoustic performances of this on YouTube, mostly good quality be upset here in studio radio shows. Brian hits the acoustic guitar with ferocity. Just as good same original. But pretty much they're from hipster central in LA. I used to live a block away from the liquor store they take their name from. You go half a block one way and you're in a semi scary Latino area, go to other side of the block and it's waxed mustaches and fixies. It's gotten better in the last eleven years, but two weeks after I moved, a tagged was executed with 13 shots because he was tagging SL13 everywhere. LA is weird.

I did approve nicknames so an adjective works in some cases. Sara Smile? No. Big John? Yes.

I guess that depends. You know there's Tiny Tim and Fat Albert where the adjective is pretty obviously part of a nickname. American Jesus? Not so sure. He can keep it if he's comfortable with it. I felt uncomfortable with Shakira in the Prince category and threw her back with no one telling me I should. I like seeing Bad Religion in the draft. It's up to Acer.Is an adjective a nickname?

Easy way out, but I thought I'd mulligan this category so... Plus the mention is one of my favorite players of all time Rodney Cline Carew.

Yes, Planet Earth is a later, lesser Prince album. But even in these later albums, there are gems to be found. This track literally sounds like it was ripped right out of Chic's catalog. You can't really say that His Purple Badness is resisting becoming a nostalgia act, but the nostalgia is increasingly for the singles he listened to in high school, right before he himself hit it big.
This also eliminates International Lover from my awful lyrics spot. A pity, perhaps, but it was an 8 minute song and I have something just as ridiculous in mind.
Not really a good You Tube link, but it's on Spotify.

Not trying to spotlight, just want to share - don't think you could jam this duo into any of our categories. OK, Bluish Grass, but not queer folk (no homo - they're married).

Ruling Question:
El Floppo took the "song from the album that influenced your musical taste the most" category
...I got that wrong, right? Who would make a cat that ####### long? I digress...
When he did he suggested I make a pick from that category as well.
We're doing mulligans anyway, so can we just ####can one category and double up on that?
Talk amongst yourselves...

Great song off a great album. Children by the millions. You all are lucky I didn't decide to make you suffer through an improvisational, self indulgent live version of my favorite band's first big hit instead.

I'm constantly surprised by the picks in my humble little Name category. I chose it because I knew genres could be all over the place. It's exceeded expectations.
I think 'food' is a good category for our sequel draft.

Names is a good category. Lots of possible choices to fit anyone's personal preferences but not too many where it's just a rehash of the usual, too familiar stuff.I'm constantly surprised by the picks in my humble little Name category.

Last fall I went to a concert at a small venue in Williamsburg by myself. Def weird vibe, never done that before - though that might have had more to do with being a dinosaur than a loner.Saw them open for Dawes at the Ryman. They are outstanding.

But I got there early, had a few beverages, and just enjoyed the show. Left after the 2nd band because I'd seen the headliner (Spirit Family Reunion) a few times and it was a week night.
ETA: Yeah, it was odd. Find someone to hit Nashville with you.

Maybe it's different for girls but Mrs. Eephus goes solo to shows, usually by 80s bands that I wouldn't have been interested in seeing in the 80s. She claims it's a lot easier for one person to get way up front and always comes back with stories about people she ends up talking with between acts.Last fall I went to a concert at a small venue in Williamsburg by myself.

O.k. I'm sort of spotlighting again, but how Prince flavored is this track (don't call it love) by Zero 7? I can't find credits to see if there's a Jamie Starr in there anywhere. Vocals maybe not so much, but the instrumentation...

Did you ever see that Larry David movie Clear History?
In her past Wendy (played by Amy Ryan) gave BJs to the entire band Chicago? It was pretty funny

Generally it's MTV bands like Berlin or The Motels. Then there are her favorites like The Cult, Psychedelic Furs and Killing Joke that she'll see every time they come through town. I've gotten the stink eye for one too many Spinal Tap jokes in reference to The Cult but she's probably seen them twice as many times as the five or six I've seen them.Name names.Maybe it's different for girls but Mrs. Eephus goes solo to shows, usually by 80s bands that I wouldn't have been interested in seeing in the 80s.

I'm not complaining. I'm truly blessed to have somebody whose idea of a date night is still to see live music in some dive. We didn't go to many shows for years when the kids were growing up but we outlasted them.

Another 3-5 years and #1 will be old enough to take to shows. But that would be more weird than going solo, amiright?

A friend of mine takes her kid (who is almost 5) with her to shows. Most of the shows are outdoors, and the kid can run around, and sleep on a blanket if he gets tired. She did take him inside a place to see Hayes Carll, but she left early to take him to bed. It annoyed her husband that she made excuses not to get a babysitter for Hayes Carll, but the kid does well at the outdoor shows.
