I got home from Christmas shopping and my wife said she was working on her 31.

I understand the inherent dangers, but - hopefully - she'll sign up and post during the reveals.

She has officially submitted her application for entry to the FFA - just waiting on the administration. If this ends in divorce I am blaming you.

No, but she just grabbed her phone to see if she could unsubmit and switch it to that.

I am tinkering with the theme playlist and there is a very clear frontrunner who my Part 6 artist should be.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I worked on the Todd production list on Christmas morning while waiting for my wife and son to wake up. As one does.

@krista4 Put me down for Train (not the band) Songs in the theme thing. Much obliged.

Lots of good caboose songs in the hip-hop genre.

Whoa - great timing. I was just listening to the bolded and thought of you. Great to see you in here!

Oh, that’s wild. I’d be interested in knowing who that is, but I can also wait if you want to keep it on the DL.

Regarding the bolded, thanks! Happy Holidays to KP and fam!

Mötley Crüe

Live Wire Live Wire Mötley Crüe · Too Fast For Love (Deluxe Version) · Song · 1981 open.spotify.com

This is where it starts. The 1st song on the 1st album.

On the east coast, we prettymuch didn't hear the Crüe until Shout at the Devil in 1983, and then went backwards to this album. But I'm sure those living in LA at the time this was released (late 81) were floored by their sound. Raw, aggressive, kinda punk, kinda metal... very different from what was out there. I like this first album a lot - it's unpolished and a little rough in places but it definitely captures four young dudes trying to do something loud and different. And did they ever - one of the biggest bands of the 80's starts with this song.

Sorry I didn't get the thread started today, but I spent six (6!) hours with Wrighteous Ray and her husband looking for cats to adopt. I'm dying.

The good news is that they (eventually) made it home with two sweet girls to add to the family!

Candlebox #5
Song: Breathe Me In
Album: Into The Sun (2008)

(Youtube Version) CANDLEBOX - Breathe Me In (FULL VERSION).wmv
(Live Version) Candlebox - Breathe Me In - Live at Phoenix Plaza, Pontiac, MI - 2009

And I watch you circle
And baby I watch you fall
You make me feel what I thought
I could never feel at all
–
If you put the intro together with the main song, this would easily be the longest song from Candlebox. Even without that, there are definitely a minority that reach the 5:12 length the “main” song is. The intro definitely helps to set the mood, while becoming essentially a 3-minute Peter Klett solo. Though obviously I’m 100% here for that. As far as the mood, I can’t say for sure whether this song in particular is inspired by Led Zeppelin, though that band is unsurprisingly an inspiration for Kevin Martin and Candlebox. See also some supplemental material in the next post,

Of course, the heart of “Breathe Me In” is a love song. Lyrics like “Breathe me in /so I am whole” and “(you’re) so much more than I ever hoped” leave little wiggle room there. While trying not to gush too much on this one, to me it’s got a lovely mood, a strong melody, the vocals shine as always, and hey, Klett gets a (shorter) solo in the “main” part too. I mean, I put this at #5, so obviously I love it, and this was certainly one of the songs I was most excited to share with folks.

Next on the countdown, we have 2 from the debut and 2 from Happy Pills left. We visit the latter first, for a song that would be a heck of a stampede.

Round 5 - Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves - The Eurythmics

From their album Be Yourself Tonight and featuring Aretha Franklin. Three of The Heartbreakers are also here: Stan Lynch (drums), Benmont Tench (organ), and Mike Campbell (lead guitar).

The video features the single version, rather than the album cut.

This would be a top tier selection for a Feminist Anthem theme if any of the ladies are still looking for a theme. Or guys.

Robyn

John Maddens Lunchbox

Leader in the clubhouse (so far) for artist I've most been surprised/impressed/intrigued by this round.
Prior to this, I thought of Robyn (if I thought of her at all) as a Nordic Katy Perry (or some such).
So far, a lot of standout songs buttressed by interesing collaborations.

Thanks!
