Thanks all. It's been an interesting birthday morning. I'll share. Probably one of those had to be here things to find it funny, but it's not a bad thing. It's a funny thing. I share this birthday with a niece in LA. Oddly have an uncle born on the 27th too. The niece, her mom and sister and I have a semi-tradition of going out somewhere to joint celebrate. Around 10 times over the years. More if you count when she was a little girl, but she's 35 today. We decided to do Malibu Seafood early. Great place we love and I'd get a look at poor Pacific Palisades for the first time since it burned.
But the niece had a friend go missing yesterday. Went out for lunch and never returned. Phone seemed offline. Made some drama with so much worry. I tried to lighten things up with funny to me things a young single lady might do in LA after lunch. But as the evening went on it got serious. I stopped joking about it. Pretty strange someone you work with goes to lunch and never returns. Isn't home. Isn't answering texts. It's midnight in LA and the people are very worried.
She showed up at work this morning with a plausible but dubious story. Her own family drama coincided with her phone not working. Seemed to me there's plenty of ways to notify the office and your friends if your phone's not working, so I went with one of my earlier jokes. That did it. I have no idea what they went through. How concerned they were. How I wasn't funny or helpful. I lost my LA privileges. A line that went right over their heads. Sheesh, dare I say it? Women.
Anyway, I wanted to do the restaurant early because I'm going to the Laker game tonight with a buddy. All's good here and thanks for the birthday thoughts.
No write up for Los B!tchos other than that's another all girls surf band making waves with a legit bad b!tch on bass. She's fantastic.

Theme: 31 Best Albums of 1984
16. Bully by 7 Seconds
Album: The Crew
Released: June
It was tought to find an actual release date for this but I think I found a review from June so let's just call it June of1984. This one maybe didn't hit quite as big as Tina Turner's Private Dancer. The song's aren't as polished. They are a lot shorter too , mostly clocking in around a minute. And I don't think it's too subjective to say Kevin Seconds isn't quite the singer Tina was. But for a hardcore band, he's a pretty good singer. With this debut, 7 Seconds are credited as the first band to describe their music as hardcore. They are a key figure in the straight edge movement pushing a clean lifestyle and singing songs about making punk music a welcome space for women, racial tolerance and as the song here suggests, not being a dickhead bully. @rockaction could probably tell you way more about this record and the band, I am out of depths with punk history but I know that do like the anthems, messages and emphasis on having a little fun in this album. Not every punk album needs to be so damn serious on every single track.
We're fun, you're not
We play, you fight
You're off, we're not
That chip is all you got!

I always had a soft spot for Twitch because it's the most classically "industrial" of the bunch. Can give or take With Sympathy on the whole but love Revenge.
I remember buying a couple of the pre-LoRaH albums, getting home, popping them in the CD player, and immediately taking them out. Just a LITTLE bit different from Psalm 69, but I dig them a lot more now.
And I think everyone's first time hearing Every Day Is Halloween leads to a "Wait, this is Ministry?? moment.

You know who had heard of 7 Seconds, though? Craig Finn, of course.
Cause most kids give me credit for being down with it
When it was back in the day back when things were way different
When the youth of today and the early 7 seconds
Taught me some of life's most valuable lessons

to the #16s! No weak entries; I even enjoyed the genres I don't usually go for, like metal and ladies' voices, if ladies' voices were a genre.
Hard to narrow down the list of new favorites, but here are some of them:
- "61 Seconds" by The Outfield did sound a lot like Men at Work, as someone pointed out. This is a good thing.
- I had to Google to see if I indeed remembered Chilliwack correctly as the "Gone Gone Gone" band, and it was. "Fly at Night" sounded nothing like that. This is also a good thing.
- I'm always happy to listen to a Fall song, and "Mountain Energy" was an especially good one.
- Obviously both Guy Clark songs are gonna work for me.
- "Space for Days" by Kendall Street Company shows that a saxy song can be a splendid song. They use the sax well here.
- I'd never heard of 7 Seconds or "Bully," but that was a great find.
- I've typed enough so will just throw "Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)," "Mongrel Days," and "Teen Town" as three of many other favorites.
Special shout-out to "Danny's Song," which I probably hadn't heard in 30 years but is every bit as lovely as it was then. I listened to it with my cat, Danny Says, and he enjoyed my singing it to him.

GTA #16 - Whitey Shafer- All My Exes Live In Texas (K-Rose, SA)
We get to midway through the countdown, and we get to a genre that really isn't my cup of tea, but the station has a fair few decent tracks, particularly making sense in the context of San Andreas when we're out of the first main city of the game and doing missions out in the sticks. K-Rose plays predominantly country, there's several tracks which were competing for the best of the lot, but I've gone for this one, this version seemingly being wrote and performed by the same guy, although the most prominent version to chart in the US was performed by someone else entirely. The station has a few tracks that are fine which didn't have a great deal in between them (also want to credit Eddie Rabbit's I Love A Rainy Night which just didn't crack my top 100), but this just had enough to be my pick of them.
Coming up in the next few, we have the last selection that was written just for the game, a revisit of a track taken more than once in the round the world countdown, and our first revisit of a station that's been already played in the 1-31 list

Yeah, I do indeed know who 7 Seconds are but couldn't tell you a whole ton about The Crew. I know the lead singer is Kevin Seconds and they were from Reno. But I pick up at their Walk Together, Rock Together EP from 1985. They are as you describe and are a whole lot more melodic and cool than most mid-'80s punk bands (a really weak timeframe for national punk rock acts).
They were in rockaction's Punk Hundred Countdown at

I heard this song at a punk show once and it immediately stuck out over all the other stuff they were playing. Very memorable.
eta* I love Kevin Seconds's passably melodic voice. It has depth, for lack of a better word.

Freshman year dorm room
We gotta disengage
Can't you see this age
Dragging us down
Down to the ground
We gotta disengage
And I think it's sad
in a society gone mad
we're taking more than we need
And our situation is our motivation
something something by anger envy and greed
I'll never forget Jello Biafra going through all his names for punk rock/hardcore bands at a speaking engagement I saw him at (cut me slack, I was still in high school). When he got to the youth part he says "Young Youth" and everybody just laughed. It was very funny given the context of what he was doing.

My first spin of the week was the new record by frequent Damon Albarn collaborator Richard Russell. Russell's project named Everything is Recorded bears some similarities to Gorillaz with its guest singers and musical eclecticism but Russell's found sounds and effects tend to the experimental more than Damon's pop instincts.

The #16s were mostly songs I didn’t know (or at least didn't recognize). So much so, initially I thought I’d just combine the lists like I do occasionally. But I got the usual split without sacrificing quality.
Known Numbers:
The Underdog - Spoon
Tin Pin Alley (AKA Roughest Place in Town) - SRV
Do It (‘Til You’re Satisfied) - B.T. Express
A MillIon Miles Away - The Plimsouls
Danny’s Song - Loggins & Messina
Total Surprises:
No Hope Goat Farm - Spirit Caravan
Fly At Night - Chilliwack
Mountain Energy - The Fall
Dublin Blues - Guy Clark
The Link Is About To Die - Los Bitchos
Go Figure:
Let me go with two solo artists I know some stuff from, but wasn’t sure that I recognized these songs. So that’s Jason Deluro’s “Take You Dancing” and “Late Night With the Powerpop” from Matthew Sweet, both of which I obviously enjoyed a lot.

Back to death metal, just what everyone wanted!
Summary: Morbid Angel is an American death metal band based in Tampa, Florida, formed in 1983. Widely considered one of the most influential bands in the genre and important in the transition of death metal from its thrash metal roots, they were one of the first bands to incorporate guttural vocals, up-tempo blast beats, multiple tempo changes and a dark atmosphere.
Times Seen Live in Concert: 0
Personal Connection: Another strangely distinctive memory is of me buying 1989’s Altars of Madness album when CD’s were still in the large box packaging. I actually wound up working at that same music store a few years later. I loved that album, but was a bit let down by 1991’s Blessed Are The Sick, thus I didn’t follow them much after that. Despite the let down, the track I chose is the leadoff from that album as I felt it had a much cleaner sound than anything from their debut.
Other songs to consider: Maze of Torment

This is the first artist to make a second appearance in my list. I had Ebo Taylor’s Heaven earlier in the countdown.
He recorded this version of the song in 2010. He did have an earlier recording it in the 1970s, but I prefer this version. This was his first international release, which came after his music started to get discovered by collectors and western audiences. He’s backed here by the Berlin Afrobeat Academy, the composition of which included another Ghana band that will appear in my playlist later on. It is a bit of haunting tune with lyrics starting off about a kiss on a wedding day, but equaling it to a kiss of death:
On our wedding day
With tears in her eyes
She gave me a kiss
It was the kiss of death
Love and death, walk hand in hand

As mentioned a while ago, this is the first repeat from my list. It absolutely belongs on the songs that sound great on a decent 2-channel system list, especially given the point of using the song was how incredible it sounds As interference in the punisher.
In the series, i feel love is played during a scene in which Frank Castle (the Punisher) is in the midst of a violent and chaotic action sequence. The song’s upbeat, almost hypnotic disco rhythm contrasts sharply with the brutality of the scene, creating a surreal, almost jarring atmosphere. This juxtaposition highlights the show’s theme of violence and vengeance, showing how Frank has become desensitized to violence.
The use of I feel love in such a context serves to evoke the paradox of Frank’s engaged in acts of extreme violence, but at the same time, the music hints at a perverse emotional connection or response to the chaos. It contrasts his internal emotional turmoil with the external violence that defines his actions, emphasizing the complexity of his character and the emotional disconnect he experiences as he seeks revenge.
Next up - probably the most universally recognized song out of all of these. “I can name that song in 3 notes”

Given what's bolded, some sort of narrative or puzzle is involved. It has nothing to do with the characteristics of the songs themselves.

15. Tomorrow Never Knows - The Beatles
Well, that sound is the Beatles, who you said are impossible to get. - Rick Swanson, season 5, episode 8, Lady Lazarus
I've mentioned my bout with Beatlemania when I was 12 or so in other threads, but what I haven't said yet was that it took me probably 10-15 years to warm up to Tomorrow Never Knows, because Rubber Soul was my point of demarcation between my favorites and the rest of their catalog. As I got older, more people I talked to claimed Revolver was their favorite and the best album the band ever made, and getting Matt Weiner to pay $250K for permission to use a song from it one time supports that claim.
I think I initially didn't like the song much because of the studio 'tricks' they used to achieve the psychedelic sound, as genius as they were; I was stuck in the mindset that they should be able to play songs from an album in a live setting, and despite this being a banger, could not be done live. It also took me a while to warm up to the sound of the sitar.
It turns out that Rubber Soul was a point of demarcation for the band as well; after that album's release, Brian Epstein was set to continue the pattern from previous years, in which they would tour and make a movie, but the band nixed that idea and enjoyed their first extended period of free/creative time in run-up to their next project. By happenstance, that time coincided with the burgeoning psychedelic movement, which encouraged the use of mind-altering substances, though John and George had already begun partaking the previous year. Ironically, Paul declined and opted to expand his mind by immersing himself in the counterculture and avant-garde community, putting himself on the radar of Yoko Ono, who was trying to meet him when she met John first instead.
For those of you familiar with Sylvia Plath, yes, this episode was intentionally titled after one of her poems; I'm surprised more people haven't drawn on her material for entertainment purposes.
For those who haven't seen or are just starting the show for the first time, I will say without giving anything away that I can't say enough good things about season 5. The storytelling and performances are as good as they've ever been yet also somehow elevated, and there are tiny moments that reinforce what I said way back that literally everything in every scene of every episode looks meticulously and intentionally placed in their exact spot and end up telling as much of the story as any word of spoken dialogue. The supporting cast and guest stars hit their roles out of the park as well as the show just kept going from strength to strength.

Tomorrow Never Knows is my #1 Beatles song. Angry Eyes is a '70s epic that should be a fixture on "classic rock radio" but isn't probably because programmers can't conceive of Kenny Loggins as anything other than the '80s movie theme guy. "Kissing My Love" from Withers' previous studio album Still Bill is also an excellent side 2, track 1.

15. One Night Stand
Artist: Janis Joplin
Album: Farewell Song (1982; song recorded in 1970)
Todd's role(s): producer
Writer(s): Steve Gordon and Barry Flast
The song: This tune boasts two of the greatest sounds of the era: Janis Joplin's voice and Paul Butterfield's harmonica. Butterfield's bassist Rod Hicks turns in an excellent performance as well. I don't know how exactly Todd Rundgren came to be involved with producing this, but he gets the blues-rock sound right and lets the musicians do their thing. The song has a killer melody and Joplin delivers a powerful vocal without going over the top as she tended to do sometimes. The song remained unreleased for 12 years after its recording (not long before Joplin's death), and was included on the 1982 release Farewell Song, a collection of Joplin outtakes, and also released as a single at that time. It bore no resemblance to what made for a hit in 1982, but what might have been if it had come out in 1970 when it was recorded.
The album: Farewell Song is a hodgepodge of previously unreleased Joplin tracks. It includes "One Night Stand," which was recorded in the run-up to the sessions for what would be her final album Pearl. Rundgren had come into the roots-rock universe in 1970 via engineering The Band's Stage Fright and producing the Paul Butterfield Blues Band's live album. He was slated to produce what became Pearl and brought in Butterfield's band to record this track with Joplin, but, according to Paul Myers' A Wizard, A True Star: Todd Rundgren in the Studio, the plan fell through because Rundgren and Joplin did not get along with each other. The job of helming Pearl eventually went to Doors producer Paul A. Rothschild.
You Might Also Like: This was the only song Rundgren produced for Joplin.
At #14, a song from an album that was recorded in between the two phases of the artist's peak popularity.

Who? – Neil Young
What? – solo acoustic and with Crazy Horse
Where? – Jones Beach Amphitheater, Garden State Arts Center, Meadowlands Arena
When? – 1987, 1993, 1995
Why? – Neil has a very unique style often soloing using only one note. He is considered the “godfather of grunge” based on his tone which spawned a whole new genre of music. Crazy Horse is a stellar backing band and Neil has so much fun playing with them.

Matt Weiner said in an interview that Meagan is a metaphor for the 60s and Don's relationship with her is a reflection of how events that occurred changed the tone of the decade the way that her relationship with Don changed her in the same way. So many things going on with the show right now have a kind of youthful joy that's turning darker with Viet Nam and the other catastrophes of the decade drawing closer.

I first heard them at the exact 'right' moment in my life because I was also able to 'metabolize' their material at a young age and become more objective about music in general. For example, during that phase, I reflexively hated The Rolling Stones because they were The Beatles' big 'rival', even though the two bands were friendly and respected each other. This is the only one of their songs on my Spotify playlist, so even though I still like their songs, I'm over them as well.

#15: KING'S X - SUMMERLAND
Now we are really getting into the stuff I have been digging through heavily. This is the K band that was also on the metal playlist as well. I had forgotten how much I listened to these 3 and how instatntly recognizable their sound is. I had gotten an album from my now brother in law back in the day (Faith Hope Love), and ended up being surprised how much I liked it. For this playlist I took one off Gretchen Goes to Nebraska because I hadn't listened to that one in a while and liked that start to finish. For the metal playlist I put on Prisoner because I remember getting their self titled 1992 album and listening to that a lot. I was a bit surprised that they only had about 50K listens on Spotify. This was the band that was on @Dr. Octopus ' last 5 out that I mentioned would be coming up soon. Such a unique sound, I bet they out on a good show.
Recommended listening: I love the 4 album stretch of Gretchen, Faith Hope Love, King's X, and Dogman. If you like the song on the playlist and the examples below, you will like those albums. I am still digging through some fo their newer albums and working on a playlist, but I did include one from a 2000 album that stuck out - Marsh Mellow Field.
Next: There are 2 bands in the top 15 that I hadn't even heard of until about a week before submitting this list. Safe to say I fell hard for both and started diving into albums. First up is more post-punk/shoegaze type sound.
