Glad you're feeling better. I've had a bad sore throat and bad, dry cough that hits out of the blue for two weeks. Inhaler and other meds did ok for a few days, then no improvement, so today I went in to my doctor and they gave me a strong antibiotic. Feeling a lot better last seven hours.

Oh I hadn’t thought of going out of the country for a flu shot. Canada is just. 20-30 minute drive for me. Maybe we take a little trip to Little Italy in Windsor one weekend .

I think episode 3 made me take notice of Allison Brie. She and Vincent Kartheiser seemed to have genuine fun doing The Charleston. Also, stoned Peggy >>>>> sober Peggy.
I'm sure you caught this, but episode 6 was called "Guy Walks into and Advertising Agency". Also enjoyed the difference in reactions from the two companies: Roger: It looks like Iwo Jima out there. vs. Saint John Powell: He'll never golf again.
Episode 7 is a great reminder of how good Matt Weiner is at packing an episode so full of plotlines that it's hard to believe it's total run time is less than an hour. Even Don's father gets a great moment out of nowhere.

Speaking of falguy - I didn't see your song on Spotify. Same with Mister CIA for the #11s as well.
I think we have our 1st same artist/same song double up for a playlist as well.

I think so.Didn't I pick that one? I've taken it before.
This was a song I didn't know until the M-aD British Isles countdown. I appreciated the talent on Queen, but their music generally hadn't done much for me. This was a great surprise and became an immediate favorite.
. This time next year you're just driving across the state line.

Because I’m bored, i will present my final 11 in far less cryptic detail than the mystery dictator. Come the revolution comrades!!!
10- A synth pop masterpiece that sounds strange, but not sad. Maybe
9- A band that is masterful at the happy music, but sad lyrics. Most of the time. But not here
8- A partial MAD artist, does not contribute sadness at all. The opposite really. In name and title at least
7- Finally another sad song from the singer in a MAD artist band. Heartwrenching
6- Already seen this band during the draft on my other list. This one is more whiny poor poor pitiful me sad
5- My next featured MAD artist ranks high. The choice of artist will surprise those who see what I usually select
4- I guess songs about dropping atom bombs should be considered very sad
3- This song has a wild structure, so parts are in D Minor. Others not, but thats what it officially checks in as
2- More angry than sad. It realistically is my #1. But i am making a statement with my #1
1- The total opposite to the theme presented, but it fits the criteria. I mean this track is sad for anyone who followed this guys early career
11- A lovely song that is as about an opposite of Batman themed as can be, but here we are
10- The greatest track in the history of western civilization.
9- A surprise for me. A UK rap artist that is Batman themed and a great laugh. A fun track
8- Definitely fits the Batman motif and a high ranking. Confusing a little bit though
7- Not really relevant to Batman as it was recorded before any of the real Batman movies. Still its a fave track so a high ranking
6- A fun track. Wish the whole list was like this one
5- A surprise for me. Forgot how fresh this song was. Enjoyed it in the 90s. Even moreso now
4- A very established artist lending credibility to Batman soundtracks. But they have a lot of fun with it. Unlike the earnest pricks they were earlier in their career
3- From the most recent Batman movie, a very surprising track used incredibly effectively. Best thing about the movie to be honest
2- First track i thought of for this draft. Perfect.
1- No surprise to see this one ranked where it is. A natural.
Songs in D Minor - The saddest key of all

Theme: 31 Best Albums of 1984
12.Nature Without Man by Minutemen
Album: Double Nickels on the Dime
Released: July ?
The same label that released Zen Arcade, SST, also released this. Apparently, Zen Arcade was finished first and inspired Minutemen to do a double album. SST then delayed the Husker Du release so they were dropping near each other. I was not really able to get an exact date for it. This album, a long with Zen Arcade, marked a massive leap forward in punk and hardcore. The walls of what these bands could do were being broken down. Double Nickels on the Dime plays like a punk version of Frank O'Hara's Meditations in an Emergency, Almost more of a collection of poems than double album of songs.
Nature Without Man was written by Minutemen lead vocalist D. Boon and Black Flag bass player, Chuck Dukowski.

Asking for a friend - Is there a max # of artists one can submit in a single round of MAD31? 
rockaction
Footballguy
If you can, imagine what this sounded like to an orthodox punk aficionado like sixteen year-old rock was. This one got put away and rediscovered years later. I'm still too orthodox for it, but "Corona" is still a top-thirty or so punk song. Never—and I actually mean this in so far as I can mean this off the top of my head—has a "found" song been used to such "found art" effect as "Corona" was to the show Jackass. Talk about found art (the spirit is nothing in keeping with the Minutemen's intent in the song).
Rock Action Punk Hundred:
16) Minutemen – Corona
The people will survive
In their environment . . .
The injustice of our greed
A practice we inherit
Of dirt, scarcity, and the emptiness
of our south
There on the beach I can see it in her eyes
I only had a Corona
Five-cent deposit
eta* I'm listening to this now (I missed the Hüsker Dü album because I got busy) and it's definitely a worthy album. D Boon is himself and Mike Watt and the rhythm section is something else. I just wish they'd played more trad funk than the angularity they have on guitars all the time. When they let Watt go, it's quite amazing.
There's another guy from San Pedro (where D Boon was from) that teamed with Mike Watt to form a band. Todd Congelliere of Toys That Kill and owner of Recess Records teamed with Watt. Personal confession: I live an hour and forty-five minutes from San Pedro and have never made the pilgrimage to see Todd or the band I just spoke of, Jumpstarted Plowhards. Todd is (another Todd here) one of my favorites ever in punk rock. I've seriously had bags packed to go to his shows and haven't gone. I should change that.

Settle down fella. Two is plenty.Asking for a friend - Is there a max # of artists one can submit in a single round of MAD31?
You dont have to shoot your load all in the next artist selection.
As others have pointed out if there are too many artists in a playlist it gets unwieldy.
Im not committing to two artists until i see demand. If we have eg over 35, i will restrict it to one artist

That was oddly descriptive

Hard to imagine because I discovered it after Jackass. And even to me, the album is more interesting than it is a favorite of mine. I admire it and am curious about it but don't too often feel a desire to play it. I stll don't know if it plays best as a whole or in very small snippets. The oddity of it is what's so impactful maybe.
So angular, absolutely. What other album is like this? Still seems singular 40 years later.Rock Action Punk Hundred:

Not many, really. A lot of punk bands picked up the bass because of Mike Watt, but other than folk-punk, which they very well might have inspired the genre of, nobody sounds like them.
I think critics and ethos have a lot—and I mean a lot—to do with it, as does having the correct political outlook. I'm sorry to say that, but there are winds in the sails of the Minutemen, and those two things factor a lot into it. Plus word of mouth among punks. You'll catch very few bad mouthing The Minutemen or Mike Watt, who seems like an aces guy.
Ilov80s
Footballguy
I 100% agree with all of this. It seems like it quickly got a very positive reception on release though. Were the popular punk political winds the same at the time? I have no idea on all that. My favorite bit of the album which seems most interesting in the Reagan spring of 84 is
Let the products sell themselves
**** advertising, commercial psychology
Psychological methods to sell should be destroyed
Because of their own blind involvement
In their own conditioned minds
The unit bonded together
Morals, ideals, awareness, progress
Let yourself be heard

Footballguy
Cool. Yeah, the lyrics are definitely dissenting from (and here we can tie-in with Charlie Steiner) Mad Men-esque modes of living. For sure. And they would also have something to say (and did have something to say, IIRC) about the commodification of art, which ironically, they became a huge part of with "Corona," down to even the product placement element of it. I'll bet they would have never imagined. Actually, that's wrong. They would have.
I mean, one of their albums is called Project: Mersh, which is apparently a joke about being more mainstream than their other records and shows a bunch of businessmen at a board meeting trying to (presumably) sell the record to an audience. I mean, they were fully aware of the commodification of art.

Hmmmm... that is a good callback to the Mad Men playlist. Of course Frank O'Hara being an author Don read. That is canon. I love how it all works together.

The last time I saw George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic was back in 2022 at the Folk Festival. Bootsy and Hampton weren't part of the band. Bootsy stopped touring due to a damaged inner ear and messed up hand. There were some band members that played that have been a part of the band for a long time such as Blackbird McKnight on guitar, Lig Curry on bass, and Bennie Cowan on trumpet. They were the last band to play that night, and they had a great turnout. They were fun.
