Ok, ZaZale list is in. He told me it took him 4 weeks and 100 hours....
I'm at work and will be able to clean up the spreadsheet when I get home and get things started.
OTB, if you are around, you can still upload your list today until I get home. At that point I have to shut off new entries and edits.
So #31's will be up tonight and we will treat it like the Tuesday night post.

I believe that on a Tchaikovsky playlist. I feel like I’d get as far as deciding on track #1, and then spending 20 hours figuring which of 500 versions of that track I should put in my list, before giving up when I realize that I would need to do that 30 more times.

I have sent the #31's to @KarmaPolice and when he creates the song list, I'll post it and the 31's.
We found out this time, if the spotify URL didn't contain the word "open" in it, the song doesn't display with the nice album cover. I will try and fix those each list the best I can.
The links with the "open" in the URL are found at the far right of each sone on spotify by clicking on the "3 dots, then "share", then" copy "song link"

Bummer, figures, but I'm not entirely surprised. He's Canadian, not very popular these days I don't think. I think he was popular at some point in Canada but he never really took off down here. I found most of his songs on YouTube, a few were missing though. Sorry for the inconvenience to anyone that's only doing Spotify. If anyone does have a minute, please give the YouTube link a tumble when it's posted up. I mean, as soon as I heard my #31 song I was pretty excited because I immediately thought "oh, this would be a really cool song for introducing people to this guy." Ah well.

An Isbell penned tune from his second record with the band, this song is an anthem about headstrong Southern men, filled with lyrics reflecting the album’s theme of southern gothic mythology. I love the driving beat on this one and the menacing way Isbell delivers the lyrics.
Mean and strong like liquor, mean and strong like fear
Strong like the people from South Alabama
And mean like the people from here
Take it from me, we ain't never gonna change

For the CSNY lead off song, I went with their first big hit / signature song. They purposely led off the CSN debut album with it because they felt it made a big statement and really showed off their harmonies. It's a complex song with a lot of time changes and sections - rather than post passages from wiki, I'll just give the wiki link for it. It's about Stephen's ex (Judy Collins), who he was on the outs with at the time.
Here's the live version from Woodstock. I like it better than the studio version. They really sound great.

No. 31 -- I Wanna Be Your Lover
So, I like this a lot more than my 31st favorite Prince song. I'd say the first half of the countdown is in kind of an order that I feel like talking about them more than any objective rating. I just think that this relatively early single (off Prince's eponymously titled second album) represents a great example of what a great early Prince single sounded like. And to me, those songs are dominated by Prince's understated funk guitar riffs and their interplay with the synthesizer parts from Matt "Dr." Fink. It's particularly evident in the extended outro to this song. There are songs that I feel Prince hurts with some of those long outros, but I like this one a lot.
Anyway, it's also pretty typically horny with regard to lyrics. Prince starts out trying to be coy. "I wanna be the only one that makes you come ... RUNNING!" But he doesn't try to maintain even the thinnest veneer of double entendre any longer. "I wanna turn you on, turn you out, all night long make you shout, 'Ah! Lover!' I wanna be the only one you come for."

31. Nina Simone, Consummation (from Silk & Soul, 1967)
YouTube Spotify
And now we are one
Let my soul rest in peace
At last it is done
My soul has been released
For thousands of years
My soul has roamed the earth
In search of you
I mentioned in my intro post to Nina Simone that I would start with one that shows off her vocals; this one is all about her vocals to me.
The melody to “Consummation” is the same melody from the standard For All We Know, which appeared on her debut album. “For All We Know” was what she used as a closing number when started playing at the club in Atlantic City. As noted in the top YouTube comment, “Consummation” is almost like a part two to “For All We Know.” Whereas that one was about enjoying tonight because who knows what tomorrow will bring, “Consummation” is about, well, uh, having enjoyed the night.
While this is a love song and not one of her political songs, it does have a connection to the civil rights movement. “Consummation” was apparently Louis Farrakhan’s all-time favorite song. Maybe a bit TMI out of the gate, but her autobiography has an amusing anecdote (amusing to me anyway) of Nina Simone’s attempt to seduce Louis Farrakhan after having a bit too much gin.

Sultan's Curse kicks off Emperor of Sand. Not my favorite song on the album, but it's a perfect intro to the album and an very good intro to the band for new listeners. For starters I like that on the first track you get all 3 of the vocals from the 3 singers. For a reminder, in my head I have:
Troy, the bassist = deeper/growly He kicks off the track. "tired and lost..."
Brent, the lead guitar = nasally/growly He is the second voice you hear starting at "the long embrace" They go back and for then
Brann, drummer = clean vocals He comes in for the pre-bridge and bridge. "Oceans of sand and Rust"
For the first track introduced from each album, I will talk a little about the album as a whole. Unfortunately, Emperor of Sand was largely born of tragedy and family members battling cancer. Brann's mom has been getting chemo for years and was sick during this time. Troy's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and he missed sessions at the start while being with her. Lastly, Bill's mother passed during the making of the record from cancer that she just discovered 7-8months previous. He would sit by her bed and work on songs as a way to cope. My understanding is Brann is the ringleader when it comes with album concepts and naming them. Here are a few blurbs about the album from the boys:
“He’s a metaphor, some kind of Grim Reaper,” says Dailor. “Not a good feeling from that guy, the Emperor.”
It’s a concept album (not their first – see the box out) with the hero on the run from the death penalty, lost, alone and hungry in a desert wasteland, with a fate worse than death haunting his every step out among the endless dunes. So far, so fantastical, and so very Mastodon. But as Kelliher puts it: “It all came from a very real place.”
While the band were writing and recording Emperor Of Sand, Kelliher’s mother was dying from cancer. He talks now about sitting by her bedside as she slept. After he’d fed her and held her hand, he would put his headphones on, plug his guitar into his computer and write and play at her side as her life force diminished and faded away, bringing songs to life even in the throes of death. “I had to do something to stop myself going crazy,” he says. “To stop from crying my eyes out.”
So how did the cancer metaphor come about? Kelliher explained:
"It was the elephant in the room so to speak that, we were like, "yeah, I don't want to f--king deal with cancer. I f--king hate cancer. I hate the fact that we are losing everyone to it." So we kind of just turned it around and were like… writing a concept record, we had all these different ideas, and we're just like, 'What are we talking about?'
I was playing 'Sultan's Curse' and Brann was like, 'That song just reminds of like pitches of vast desert and a lonely guy running through it,' a metaphor for someone who has got a death sentence and wants to get out and get away from it, you're running, you're running, you always have dreams where you're always just running, you're trying to get away from something, and that's what we were all feeling."

[Live Version, with a bit of “Pfft You Were Gone” before it] The Refreshments - Good Year (Taste of AZ, 1998)
Truck tires, trash fires
Face first through the wire
Adois, Au revior
I see now what I never saw
Why I chose it
Though it appears to have never have charted highly, I definitely remember this song getting some MTV play and hearing it on the radio occasionally. So maybe it’ll strike that “oh, yeah, this song” chord for you.
Though, even if it doesn’t, it serves as a good bookend. It’s a song I still associate with the year’s end, for obvious reasons. Even with the idea that the song’s more about the end of a relationship. Whatever the case, there’s the optimism that though things were bad, there’s a new opportunity for good things.
Special Mention
The lyrics call out Catcher in the Rye, Cat’s Cradle, The White Album, and Abbey Road. Blush wrote this one, and from Clyne’s account, did so quickly as this was originally meant to be a B-side that the record label ended up pushing(/releasing as a single). So the reasoning is hard to pin down.
I might play with the format a bit this time around. If nothing else, there’s unlikely to be a special mention every time. We’ll see how it goes.
